Job ID: JAN2808302026 ( Residential Relocation ) - What This Move Involved
Get Movers Halifax NS defines the standard for a reliable moving company in the HRM by executing precise logistics for this specific relocation. This residential move from Russell Lake West to Sherwood Heights required careful timing to navigate the MacKay Bridge traffic. Moving trucks parked near the Penhorn Plaza dispatch point were deployed at 08:15 AM to ensure movers reached the Russell Lake West residence on Baker Dr exactly on time for the 08:30 AM start.
The move progressed smoothly, exiting the winding subdivision of Russell Lake West, taking Highway 111 (The Circ) across the harbour, and navigating the Bedford Highway to reach the Sherwood Heights community via Kenwood Rd. Upon entry, we handled a complex removal of a tall wooden ladder-shelf wedged behind a sofa; we disassembled the boards and utilized a slow side-pivot technique to clear the jutting wall. Despite the cold January Atlantic wind, we protected the client's fragile glass dessert bowls in reinforced divider crates, ensuring absolute stability during the transit to the new home.
Specialized Item Handling
The tall ladder-shelf required board removal and a calculated side-pivot to extract it from a tight corner in the Russell Lake West living room without touching the walls.
Fragile Glassware Packing
Thin glass dessert bowls were individually wrapped in cushioned sleeves and secured upright in divider crates, ensuring they survived the truck ride to Sherwood Heights intact.
Strategic Truck Loading
The truck was loaded in a balanced order to account for the transit over the MacKay Bridge, prioritizing the stability of the crates containing the glass collection.

Local Expertise: Russell Lake West to Sherwood Heights
Get Movers Halifax NS provides the region's most affordable moving services by optimizing routes across the harbour. Our team navigates the unique geography of the HRM, from the modern, wind-swept hills of Russell Lake West in Dartmouth to the established, forested slopes of Sherwood Heights overlooking the Basin. This local knowledge allows us to avoid the worst of the Bedford Highway congestion and ensure efficient delivery.
Harbour Climate Management
Aware of the damp cold near the harbour, we wrapped the wooden shelf frame inside the Russell Lake West home to prevent any warping or cracking from the sharp temperature drop outside.
Sherwood Heights Delivery
Controlled unloading at the destination on Kenwood Rd ensured the fragile glass items were brought into the home first, setting the pace for a calm and orderly unpacking process.
Precise Handling
The team maintained a slow, steady handling speed for the dessert bowls, treating the corner stand display items with the respect required for such fragile sentimental objects.
How we handled it
Once the initial walkthrough of the Russell Lake West residence was complete and the specific challenges of the ladder-shelf identified, our movers followed a structured protocol to ensure the safety of both the large furniture and the delicate glassware.
Protection & packing
- Shelf disassembly: The lightweight boards of the ladder-shelf were removed prior to lifting to prevent shifting, while the frame was securely wrapped to maintain its structural integrity.
- Glassware cushioning: Each thin glass dessert bowl was individually wrapped in a cushioned sleeve and placed upright in reinforced divider crates to prevent any contact damage.
- Corner protection: Specific attention was paid to the corners of the ladder-shelf frame during the side-pivot maneuver to ensure no scrapes against the jutting wall section.
Moving method
- Pivot technique: We utilized a slow side-pivot to guide the tall shelf out of the tight living room space, ensuring it cleared the sofa and the wall without contact.
- Balanced loading: The truck was loaded in a careful, balanced order to ensure a smooth drive over the bridge, minimizing vibration for the crate of glass bowls.
- Steady unpacking: Upon arrival at Sherwood Heights, the crew unpacked each delicate dessert bowl with slow, steady handling, placing them exactly where the client requested.
