When it comes time to do the heavy lifting, moving alone always seems so simple. While it’s usually preferable to have an extra pair of hands—or five—to assist you when moving, that isn’t always how reality plays out. You’ll need to find out how to carry a sofa by yourself if you haven’t paid for professional packers and movers in Bangalore and all of your friends are unexpectedly sick or preoccupied.

Despite how it undoubtedly sounds, moving a sofa by yourself isn’t impossible. For making the task possible, make sure you keep the following points in mind:
Know the Kind of Equipment Needed
What equipment is needed if you only have two arms and a sofa to move? You are nearly there. In order to transport that sofa from Whitefield to the new location, you will also need the following things:
- Portable blankets that are covered in plastic
- Furniture sliders
- Moving straps
Disassemble the Sofa Set
Preparing the sofa for relocation will be your first action, so try to take as much of it apart as you can. If the sofa is a sectional, remove the cushions, legs, and each portion. Remember that you shouldn’t try to force anything off that isn’t intended to come off. When disassembling your sofa, keep any nails, screws, or other small parts that you remove in their own small moving box, and make sure you properly label it.
Transporting your sofa in the truck
You’ll have one more moving challenge to overcome after getting your sofa outside: loading it into the moving truck. Thankfully, if you booked a truck through the packers and movers in Whitefield, it most likely included an attachable ramp that you could use to roll the sofa up using either the furniture sliders or the dolly. Make sure to ask for a ramp when placing your rental order over the phone, and make sure it’s present when you pick up your truck on moving day.
