Our safety measures include:

• Rigorous Training – Our crew members are regularly trained on proper lifting techniques, equipment handling, and safe driving standards.
• Protective Equipment – We use padded blankets, tie-down straps, hand trucks, and dollies to prevent damage to possessions and reduce injury risk.

• Licensed and Insured – Palmer Moving Services meets all city, state, and federal safety codes and carries complete insurance coverage for property and transport.

• Protective Padding and Wrapping – All furniture and fragile items are wrapped securely to prevent scratches, dents, and breaks.
