About the GTFM Furniture Mover

The GTFM furniture mover has been designed for moving larger pieces of furniture like sideboards and large cabinets and other large rectangular objects. It comes in two parts with securing straps to connect them together. The main steering part is positioned under one end of the furniture (narrowest part) with the base and side resting firmly against the frame of the mover.

The second part is then placed at the other end, the weight of the furniture will hold them in position. Then you will need to connect the two parts with the securing strap, It needs to de under direct tension with the straps not pulling against the load. If the furniture protrudes out of the sides then additional strapping must be used and fed through strap loops on the units. The maximum overhang must be no more than 200mm. This will hold the two frames and furniture in position for the moving process.

The steering handle can be moved through 180 degrees thus movement in every direction is possible.

The platform is lined with rubber to protect the load and is raised by the hydraulic system. Using the hydraulic pump to raise the load and twisting the manual release valve to lower it again means operation is smooth and straight forward.

When using this equipment you should make sure the furniture is strong enough to support its weight at the two opposite sides as there is no middle ground support.

Both platforms should be raised at the same time to no more than 2cm from the ground. Always push the platforms, never pull. Take great care when moving sideways as large items can become unstable and tilt over.
