Advantages of using Sterling’s small moves services
Save money with our low weight minimum. Most other moving companies look to move large 5,000-15,000 pound loads and have a 3,000-pound minimum. Sterling Van Lines does not require high minimum poundage for small moves. In fact, our low required minimum is around 2,000 pounds.
Protect your furniture. Small moves are our specialty. We are experts at it. Each piece of furniture is wrapped in blankets and placed in our vans to ensure its safe delivery to you. You will not be charged “extra” for protecting your items in blankets or using tape.
What are small moves? Small moves involve around 2,000 pounds possibly a little less. This is about a small one bedroom apartment.
How can I tell how much weight I have to move?
All standard movers will figure out the pounds involved in your move. The standard formula used in the moving industry is seven pounds per cubic foot.
If you’re unsure, you can fill out our free moving quote form and we will do all the work and get you the answers. Or, you can follow the example below. To calculate cubic feet, simply multiply length by width by height. Here’s an example:
(Example) Sofa:
7 feet long, 2 1/2 feet wide, 3 feet tall
7 x 2 1/2 x 3 = 52.50 cubic feet
52.50 cubic feet x 7 = 367.5 pounds
