Fragile glass dessert plates packed carefully by Montreal movers.

The challenges

Tight doorway beside brick accent wall
The media cabinet sat snugly between a brick wall and a narrow doorway, leaving very little room to angle it without risking contact.
Fragile thin-rim glass plates
The dessert plates featured delicate rims and required individual cushioning and upright packing to prevent breakage.
Organized loading for stability
Items needed to be padded, labeled, and staged carefully to maintain balance during transport.

How we handled it

To manage the tight doorway clearance and delicate items safely, our movers followed a controlled, step-by-step approach tailored to the apartment layout.

Protection & packing

  • Full cabinet wrapping The media cabinet was completely wrapped and reinforced on all sides to protect surfaces while navigating the narrow doorway.
  • Individual glass cushioning Each thin-rim glass dessert plate was wrapped separately using cushioned sleeves to prevent chips or pressure damage.
  • Upright divider crating Fragile plates were packed upright inside divider-reinforced crates to keep them separated and stable during transport.

Moving Method

  • Side-angle pivot maneuver A slow side-angle pivot technique was used to guide the cabinet through the tight doorway without contacting brick or trim.
  • Controlled carry-out handling Items were moved steadily from the apartment to the truck to avoid sudden shifts or stress on delicate pieces.
  • Balanced truck loading Furniture and boxes were loaded in a clean, balanced sequence to prevent movement during the drive.
