The process of rearranging furniture in itself can change the interior of a room radically and at minimal cost. However, it often becomes necessary to move a rack or cabinet in such a way as not to damage the flooring, and to do this procedure with minimal labor costs. Naturally, all this can only be accomplished using one’s own muscular strength, but then such a movement may be associated with the risk of injury or damage to a piece of furniture or the environment. Therefore, today there are many ways to perform this operation - from purely folk ones (lining various objects used as sliders, for example, plastic tires) to quite technological ones (for example, furniture conveyors).
It is worth noting that some transportation kits are direct successors of folk methods, and these may include special slider stands made from a special material and produced in a factory. But a more productive tool for carrying out operations for transporting large furniture are furniture transporters. With their help, it is possible to lift the edge of an object, place the mounting legs on it, and then securely fix the object on a special moving platform. Using such a device will allow you to move an object without much labor.
Modern technological methods of moving furniture
- Furniture conveyors
This designates a set of items that includes a small lever that has the function of a jack, responsible for lifting one of the corners of a piece of furniture, and also includes four stands with wheels that can be directed in any direction. By placing moving mechanisms under each side of the object, it can be easily moved around the entire perimeter of the room.
IMPORTANT! In cases where it is necessary to move a heavy object specifically over a decorated covering (carpet or rug), you should select a conveyor with wheels of a large diameter so that they cannot “drown” in the pile of the covering.
- Special furniture stands
They are squares or circles of various diameters and thicknesses. For moving on carpet, plastic ones with a smooth base are suitable. They are fixed using an adhesive base, either with built-in nails or screws. The option with built-in nails is perfect for massive furniture, because putting such an object on its side can be very difficult.
IMPORTANT! It should be remembered that fixing stands with an adhesive base is not always able to withstand the weight of massive objects, so it must be reinforced with super glue with high adhesion!
- Hand (“garden”) carts
To carry out the operation of moving furniture, it is possible to use ordinary metal carts on two wheels. This option is used in cases where it is necessary to move a relatively small object (bedside table or chest of drawers) from one room to another. However, even if the object is light, but has large dimensions in width, it is preferable to work together so that the second person can hold the opposite edge. However, you can also secure the object for stability with a flat and wide belt.
- Durable foil
This simple method of moving is most suitable for furniture whose supports are made in the form of legs. This includes tables, couches, massive chairs. The foil is simply folded in several layers, then placed under the leg, and the free edges are wrapped around. This wrapping will prevent the material from coming off the leg while moving. It should be noted that this method is not suitable for very massive objects - the foil can easily tear under their weight.
- Carrying straps
Special belts (it is also possible to use a regular strong rope) for carrying are the most popular way to move any pieces of furniture of considerable size. However, such carrying should be carried out by at least two people. The essence of the method is that a belt (or rope) is pulled under each pair of legs, and its ends are held by people. This method is very effective when it is necessary to carry out an operation that is called “in weight”, preventing contact with the sensitive floor surface when moving furniture. The method will 100% protect the floor covering from dents, scratches and other mechanical damage.
- Hardboard fragments (fiberboard)
This method is best used when you need to move a small cabinet or cabinet over a fleecy surface. To do this, the smooth side of the hardboard is placed on the carpet, and the rough side is placed under the foot of the object. Further, it is preferable to use belts to move all sides evenly.
Consequences of careless handling
But linoleum, no matter how reliable and durable it is, needs careful care and careful operation. The above-described elasticity and some softness hide those features of the material that do not allow it to be handled roughly. When moving heavy things on linoleum, it is quite easy to damage it. Under the pressure of the cabinet legs, it bends, gathers like an accordion and, as a result, breaks. Repairing the material will be either difficult or completely impossible.
Damage to linoleum
On a note! Sometimes linoleum tears can be repaired using special cold welding, but this is an extra cost and extra work for the home owner. And the material cannot be restored to its 100% integrity. It is much easier to prevent damage to the coating if you move the furniture correctly.
Cold welding of linoleum - stages of work
By the way, even if the material is not affected by furniture constantly moving over it, it deteriorates under the pressure of the legs of a heavy cabinet or sofa. In places where there is large or massive furniture, grooves form on the material over time - the linoleum simply sinks under things. And even if you remove a heavy cabinet from it, the holes formed in the place of the legs will not always straighten out again - a lot will depend on the duration of the mechanical impact, as well as on the quality of the floor covering.
Torn linoleum
"Folk" methods
- Using lubricants, glycerin, detergents or WD 40 lubricant
These products are perfect for moving furniture on flat and level surfaces. But first you need to check whether the product does not leave unnecessary marks on the floor covering. To do this, it is applied to an area that is not visually striking in the interior of the room. Next, you need to wait a few minutes and wash off the applied composition with a degreasing solution. If there are no traces left on the floor, then the composition can be safely applied.
To move, you should distribute the sliding composition on the floor along the future trajectory of the object, commensurate with its width. Then you need to place the object on the created “path” and move it with light effort. The friction force will be dampened by the sliding properties of the composition. It should be mentioned that this method is preferable to use when moving furniture over short distances.
- Use of rugs
This method is suitable for moving furniture items over carpet or carpet. To do this, I turn the rug over with its pile down, and a moving object is placed on its rough surface. The fleecy side will glide perfectly over both the pile and the parquet, and the wide base of the rug will be able to cover the entire width of the bottom of the furniture.
- Using felt coasters
They are made by hand, similar to plastic coasters, but are considered less dangerous for smooth floor coverings. With their help, it is possible to move large-sized structures without disassembling them in parts. To speed up all processes, it is worth using at least four gaskets.
- Using the Bedspread
To move furniture, it is possible to use a regular blanket, which can also be used to cover things when transporting them by road. The essence of the action is very simple - simply place a blanket under the lower base of the object and then simply drag it to the desired place. Also, with the help of several blankets it is possible to move the load upstairs, for which they (the blankets) need to be laid out on a flight of stairs, creating a kind of ramp. However, this method will require the participation of at least two people.
Manual drum winches
The principle of operation of winches resembles a simple lever fixed at a fulcrum. If the short arm of the lever is the surface of the cylinder, and the load is attached to it by a cable, you will get a winch with a gear ratio equal to the ratio of the length of the lever and the radius of the cylinder. To prevent reverse rotation, a ratcheting mechanism with a spring-loaded pawl is installed on the axis - a ratchet. You can assemble such a hand winch with your own hands according to the drawing:
However, the high gear ratio of the system will require a very long handle, which is inconvenient. The solution is found in two types of drum winches, which increase the gear ratio using gears or a worm gear.
How to make a winch with your own hands using a worm gear can be seen in the drawing:
Read also: How to measure with inch calipers
A ratchet is not needed in this design; the gear ratio, when the worm flange passes over each gear tooth, is equal to the number of gear teeth multiplied by the ratio of the length of the handle to the radius of the worm. But a significant disadvantage will be the friction between the teeth and the comb. The mechanism requires constant lubrication.
A gearbox made of gears operates with much less friction. When using the principle of transmitting force through a pair of gears of different diameters, the easiest way to make a manual drum winch with your own hands is this:
Please note that a stopper is required in such devices. This design is used for small heights or lengths of cargo movement. A cable guide will help increase the movement distance by evenly distributing the cable along the length of the cylinder. The easiest way to get the result is to use a spring-loaded plate or rod that presses the cable to the drum:
Features of the use of furniture conveyors
Traditional sets for moving furniture consist of a lever with a comfortable handle, combined with a wheeled platform. Using a lever, the platform is installed in the desired location. To use the conveyor correctly, several parameters should be taken into account:
- The material of its manufacture and all parts (may be different);
- Dimensions of the piece of furniture;
- The design of the legs of this item.
Wheels for the device must be selected depending on the surface on which movement will occur - whether it will be parquet or laminate, or soft flooring. At the same time, you should make sure that the device as a whole is comfortable to use. Professionals say that a high-quality transporter will allow even a person who is not very physically fit to cope with the movement of a large object alone. However, the help of an assistant during complex operations should not be neglected, because extra control and insurance of the entire process will never be superfluous.
Thus, when choosing a conveyor for transporting furniture, you need to pay attention to the following points:
- Material of manufacture - the platform itself with the lever must be made of durable metal that can withstand significant loads. Steel is excellent for these purposes, as it is a strong, durable and deformation-resistant material. It is from material of similar quality that the lever must be made.
- Platform - it must be suitable in size, shape, and be provided with sides and a relief surface. The best option would be to have a universal base, which has a rounded recess for the legs and corresponding sides on both sides. Such limiters will prevent the load from slipping while moving.
- Wheelbase – The material used to make the wheels must be as strong as the arm and platform. The minimum standard for conveyors is to maintain a load of 100 kilograms. It would be ideal if the wheels have a rotating function. Sometimes, instead of a wheelbase, movable plates are used - they work best on a decorative fleecy covering.
- The shape of the handle - the thinner the part that needs to be inserted under the furniture, the less clearance it will need. A metal cylinder or wheel is usually used as a support. Wheeled models are best used for sensitive types of flooring - they will scratch the floor less.
IMPORTANT! It should be noted that for large furniture it is possible to use several conveyors at once - this is common practice.

Features of using sets of furniture sliders
Special furniture sliders are a set of technologically advanced and simple devices that make the process of moving furniture much easier. As a rule, the set includes several pieces of sliders, which makes it possible to move furniture of various sizes and with different numbers of supports. Depending on the type of surface on which you intend to move the object, you should select the appropriate type of sliders (with a plastic or fleecy base).
The process itself is quite simple: the slider is placed individually at the desired angles or furniture legs. To do this, the object is raised slightly and a slider is placed under it in the appropriate place, with the working side facing the floor surface. The working side will reduce the friction force, which will greatly facilitate the movement procedure.
Next, simply push the trace object in the desired direction along the surface. The movement should be smooth and in small jerks, and the assistance of a second person will be useful in order to exercise proper control over the stability of the object. Upon completion of movement, the sliders are simply removed from under the furniture.
Linoleum: material features
Before we talk directly about moving furniture on a material such as linoleum, you should understand what kind of material it is and why you should be careful when carrying large items over it. Despite the general unpretentiousness of this coating and its time-tested reliability, it is important to handle the material carefully so that its service life, declared by the manufacturer, ends prematurely.
Composition of linoleum
Linoleum is one of the popular floor coverings, which is produced in the form of rolls of various widths and is currently made most often on the basis of synthetic components. This material has a long history, if you go back to the very origins of its appearance. Initially, it was made on a fabric base, impregnated with ordinary vegetable oils - this format of the material dates back to the 19th century. In the 1950s, more modern types of coating were developed, which began to be produced on the basis of PVC.
Modern linoleum
On a note! At the beginning of the twentieth century, the largest producer of linoleum in the whole world was the Russian Empire. It lost its position after the October Revolution.
Now the largest manufacturer of linoleum is the Tarkett company, which has factories in Russia. But the building materials market offers products from other equally well-known brands. What their products have in common is the following - linoleum is produced in the form of large rolls with a width from 50 cm to 5 m, and the length of the canvas inside them is from 6 to 45 m. Moreover, the thickness of the material, depending on the class, varies between 1.5- 5 mm. There are also denser types of linoleum, their thickness is about 8-9 mm, but such options are rarely used for domestic purposes. They are usually used in warehouses and production facilities where the material is subject to significant stress.
Linoleum floor
In general, modern linoleum is not a homogeneous material; it consists of several layers:
- varnish top layer , which gives the coating shine;
- a protective layer that prevents damage to the color and texture of the material;
- decorative layer (often made of PVC), responsible for the appearance of the coating;
- fiberglass - the base, a kind of “spine” of the coating, providing tensile strength;
- base made of PVC;
- sometimes the last layer of material is fabric , which increases the heat and sound insulation properties of the coating.
Linoleum structure
The flexibility of linoleum and its elasticity, heat and sound insulation properties, and density will depend on the PVC layer. It can be called the basis of the material.
Basic properties of linoleum
Despite such a large number of layers, linoleum remains a fairly soft and elastic material, which is quite easy to cut, easy to install, but at the same time very durable, not afraid of moderate mechanical impact and does not wear out.

Features of moving furniture on different types of surfaces
Methods for shag flooring
In order to prevent the soft covering from breaking through when moving large furniture, it is preferable to use devices on rollers or sliding devices. However, the key to a successful move will be compliance with the following features:
- Large furniture must be freed from the items in it;
- It is also preferable to remove its internal elements, for example, removable heavy shelves or drawers;
- Any locking elements, for example, doors or doors, must be immobilized by securing them with tape.
Methods for smooth coating
When moving massive furniture structures on an unprepared surface, there are many risks - the surface may be damaged or even the person himself may be injured. To prepare a smooth surface for furniture movement, start by washing the floors. Heavy objects will move more easily if there is no dirt on the surface that can create unnecessary friction. Depending on the chosen method, movement can be carried out either using special devices. Or simply by lubricating the path of movement with a sliding compound. It is worth remembering that movement on a freshly painted surface is not allowed in order to prevent damage to the paint layer. You need to wait the required period of 8 to 10 days.
How to move furniture on linoleum?
So what options and methods exist that allow you to move furniture on linoleum carefully and without compromising the integrity of the coating? In fact, there are many of them, starting with methods known to our grandmothers and ending with the latest technologies developed by manufacturers.

How can you move furniture on linoleum? Traditional methods
Traditional methods, as you know, are those methods that allow you to carry out some procedure or work yourself, without resorting to the help of specialists and using only what is at hand in the house. To bring them to life, you don’t have to run to the store and buy something expensive, just rummage through forgotten things or even the refrigerator. To choose the best moving option, you should study all known traditional methods of moving furniture on linoleum.
Table. Folk methods of moving heavy furniture on linoleum.
| What is used | Description |
| Slippers | To move furniture on linoleum, ordinary soft indoor slippers are suitable. The main thing is that their sole is also soft and foamed. You will need several pairs of slippers, depending on the size of the furniture or the number of legs it has. Slippers are slipped under the legs or base of any piece of furniture and it will glide perfectly on the floor. |
| Felt boots | Ordinary felt boots will also help to move heavy interior items. But they are suitable only if the furniture has legs at least 5 cm long. It is enough to simply put them in felt boots - for this, the closet (for example) is tilted to one side, and these winter shoes are put on the raised legs. Next, the other legs are put on in the same way. That's it, the furniture can be moved. The main disadvantage of this method is that felt boots are now quite difficult to find in an ordinary apartment; not everyone has such shoes, especially since you need at least two pairs. And what you need is just ordinary woolen felt boots, Uggs and modern variations of these shoes will not slide on linoleum as needed. |
| Pork skin | It can be found in the refrigerator of meat lovers. Even if a person does not like to eat salted lard itself, it is quite possible to purchase regular meat, which in some cases is sold directly with the skin and fat layer. The skin is carefully cut off; in any case, a small piece of fat remains on it. Next, its pieces are placed under the legs or base of the piece of furniture - with the skin to the legs, and the lard to the floor. By the way, it is important not to use old lard - it will be quite difficult to move any thing on it, and it will not be possible to achieve perfect sliding. Thanks to the skins, the furniture can easily move in any direction. But this method has one significant drawback - it is quite difficult to remove grease from the floor covering. But in general, the method will allow you to move any, even the heaviest, cabinet alone. |
| Rug or rug | For this purpose, any soft rug is used; usually a small terry rug from the bathroom is used. It simply lays under the base of the furniture and it glides very easily across the floor on it. |
| Soap solution | Another time-tested method is to use a soap solution. A piece of soap or a little washing powder is dissolved in a bucket of water, the floor in front of the furniture in the direction of movement is generously moistened with the resulting liquid. Then it’s enough just to move the thing. But this method has two disadvantages: the solution dries quickly and there is a risk of slipping on soapy water and getting injured. |
| Old rag | A soft cloth is used in the same way as a rug. However, some people moisten it with water for additional glide. Old terry towels work well for these purposes. |
| Polyethylene jar lids | The covers are suitable not only for preservation, but also for moving furniture. They are simply placed under the legs of things, and then the piece of furniture moves in the desired direction with some effort. Thanks to this method, the linoleum will remain intact, but there is a risk that you will not have enough strength to move the heavy cabinet. |
| Raw potatoes | A good method, reminiscent of the method with lard. Raw potatoes are cut into slices, which are placed under the base of the furniture. However, there are often cases when the legs of things slide off the potato, so the method is usually used for furniture that does not have legs. After using potatoes, it is important to wash the floors well - traces of starch remain on them. |
| Dough rolling pins | Sometimes ordinary rolling pins are used to move cabinets, but you need at least 4 of them to create a kind of “wheels”. The rolling pins are placed alternately under the base of the object in the direction of its movement. The method will keep the linoleum intact. |
| Remains of old linoleum | Not the best option, but still possible. Scraps of old linoleum are moistened with water and placed under the legs of the furniture. Unfortunately, perfect gliding is not always possible. |
Some people prefer to call more friends and drag the furniture manually, on their hands, but although this is the most effective method and also the first one that comes to mind, it is not always possible to implement it. The greater the risk of simply dropping a piece of furniture on the floor, which can cause damage to the floor and injure yourself or your assistants.
Reference! A large double-door wardrobe can easily weigh up to 85 kg. Of course, the figure is small, but due to its large dimensions, it will not be easy to manage this piece of furniture.

Modern solutions to the problem
Not everyone wants to return to archaic, albeit proven, methods of moving furniture. Many people prefer to act in a modern way. And there are two options for doing this work:
- disassembling furniture and moving it;
- use of special devices.
The first method involves not only removing the shelves and all things from the closet, but also completely disassembling it into its component parts. Doors and walls are removed, shelves are removed, the disassembled piece of furniture is moved to the right place and reassembled there. The main disadvantages of the method are that it takes a lot of time, and furniture quickly deteriorates due to assembly and disassembly, especially if it is disassembled frequently.
Dismantling the cabinet
Advice! To make dismantling and assembly quick, it is convenient to use a screwdriver with a special hexagon bit (for modern furniture).
Increasingly, its owners are purchasing special devices to move furniture. These are either carts for transporting furniture - rollers, or stands with wheels. The furniture moving kit contains four platforms on wheels on which furniture is placed, which is lifted using a small device that acts like a jack.

Creation of an air cushion for the redeployment of very heavy objects
In cases where you need to move an extremely heavy object, even regardless of its dimensions, the best option would be to use an air cushion, which you can make yourself. It will lift the load above the surface and simply slide along it, which means a significant reduction in the applied muscular effort on the part of the person.
To make and manage such a pillow you will need:
- A small pump (for example, for pumping up an inflatable boat);
- A sheet of plywood of the required area with a thickness of at least 8 millimeters;
- Fabric, rubberized on one side;
- Foamed polyethylene backing.
The manufacturing process involves the following steps:
- First, a cushion platform is made from a sheet of plywood, the size of which should be slightly larger in area than the base of the furniture to be moved (i.e., the edges of the plywood should extend beyond the base of the object);
- Closer to the edge, a hole is made in the plywood for inserting a pump pipe for inflating the pillow with air;
- To fit the size of the plywood, overlays are cut from foamed polyethylene, the total length of which must be at least 20 millimeters;
- Then a piece of rubberized fabric that does not allow air to pass through is prepared; its dimensions must be larger than the dimensions of the plywood base by at least 10 centimeters on each side;
- The prepared piece of fabric is folded and attached to a plywood base in such a way as to prevent the involuntary release of inflated air under the pressure of the transported item. Fixation is carried out using reliable super glue with a high level of adhesion.
Upon completion of the glue hardening process (the period is indicated in its instructions), the pillow is ready for use. You should simply place it under the object, pump air into it, and then move it. The smooth surface of the pillow will easily slide over a flat base, and its rough part, inflated with air, will hold the object being moved. However, if the object itself is large, then stability control by another person will be required.
Safety regulations
Moving furniture is always quite hard work, which is associated with the risk of injury. It is clear from this that people involved in this process must comply with minimum safety requirements:
- It is necessary to plan the entire procedure in a calm environment and technically competently, while simultaneously making sure that transport devices are securely fixed.
- You should not apply excessive force to heavy and large objects if they do not give in the first time. It is better to use special means of transportation.
- The path of movement must be freed as much as possible from all sorts of obstacles, so as not to complicate the process of movement by bypassing them.
- While moving the object, always maintain a stable position and do not make sudden maneuvers.
- Always remember that it is better to disassemble a large object in parts and reassemble it in a new place. This simple method will help you avoid dangerous situations.
- You should not neglect the help of other people - it is easier for two people to control the position of the furniture and its stability while rearranging it.
Moving a Heavy Cabinet
Let's look at how heavy furniture moves using several examples. However, before you begin to implement each of the ideas, you should carry out a number of preparatory activities.
Preparation
First, you need to free up space where any piece of furniture will be rearranged. There should be nothing in that place, other pieces of furniture are removed, it is also important to remove small elements of the room’s furnishings in the path of the object’s movement so that they do not interfere. It is recommended to immediately carry out the necessary cleaning at the new proposed installation location - wipe off dust, sweep away debris.
Also, furniture that is planned to be moved must be emptied. The closet, cabinet, etc. should be empty, and all shelves should be removed to prevent them from falling. It is better to seal furniture doors and drawers with tape so that they do not open - this will prevent the risk of injury and damage to the product.
Furniture that needs to be moved must first be emptied.
How to move heavy furniture on linoleum using lard?
Step 1. The skin is cut off from a piece of lard so that a little pulp remains on it. Then the skin is cut into four square pieces - according to the number of furniture legs. However, if the furniture has a long base instead of legs, longer strips of lard skin can be used.
Square piece of pork rind
Step 2. The skin is placed under the legs of a cabinet or other piece of furniture so that its surface is under the leg, and the fat “looks” at the floor. The skins are placed under all four legs of the cabinet or under its base.
The sandpaper is placed under the legs of the cabinet
Advice! It is better to ask an assistant to lift the cabinet. It is quite difficult to cope with this task of lifting furniture and placing improvised “rollers” alone.
Step 3. Next, the cabinet is simply pushed to its new place. Lard glides very well on linoleum, and moving furniture alone will be quite easy.

How to move heavy objects with a rug?
Step 1. Take a small rug from the bathroom or an old terry towel.
In this case, a bath mat is used
Step 2. The furniture is carefully lifted by one edge. It is important not to drop the cabinet on your feet - the simplest safety precautions are observed.

Step 4. Place the rug on the other side of the cabinet in the same way.
A mat is also placed on the other side
Step 5. The furniture is safely delivered to the new chosen location. The rugs are removed.
