When one gets ready for a move, one of the first thoughts is about employing a truck rental or even hiring a professional moving truck rental company. But, there are many types of specialty movers available to help with the move as well. Sometimes, depending on the item or goods being moved, it is wise to use a truck rental specialist to avoid potential damage to the item. A specialty truck rental mover may help with the setup of the item at the destination. A specialist may also come to dismantle the item and prepare the item for moving into the moving truck rental van.

To help decide whether you require a specialty mover, here are some types of moving truck rental companies available for specific purposes.

Pet Movers
When contacting a pet mover, the first question will be what type of pet you own. Not all pet movers move all types of pets. For example, if you own a small petting farm or a little zoo, the move may require more specialized pet handlers than a regular dog and cat pet mover.

Once you know that the truck rental pet mover is able to transport your specific type or breed of pet, inquire about the credentials of the handlers. Some of the more common memberships for animal handlers are:

 The Independent Pet and Animal Transportation Association International (IPATA)
 The Animal Transportation Association (AATA)
 Professional Handlers Association
 The American Boarding Kennels Association (ABKA),
 USDA certified as pet handlers

Full service pet relocation companies will pick up your animal at home, deliver him to the airport, pick him up at the destination airport and deliver him to your new location. When required, they may provide or make arrangements for boarding as well. The animal must travel in a crate so be sure to talk to the truck rental pet relocation service before purchasing the crate so that you know what size to buy and if there are any other requirements of which you should be aware.

Piano or Organ Movers
Your piano is an expensive investment. Maybe it has been handed down from generations or maybe you recently purchased it so your child could take piano lessons, but whatever the reason for owning a piano, a truck rental move can be detrimental to the instrument if not handled properly. That is where a piano mover comes into the picture.

When choosing a truck rental piano mover, an excellent recommendation would be a company who moves new pianos from the showroom to your home. If piano dealers entrust their clients to the truck rental piano moving service, then they are most likely qualified to move your piano or organ. In addition, a professional truck rental piano moving company will send two people to ensure the safe removal and placement of the piano.

Spa Movers
Moving a spa or large whirlpool tub is a difficult job. Basically you want to be careful to not smash up the sides of the tub or damage any of the water injection nozzles. Placing the spa in a truck rental on its side can cause severe damage particularly if the move is a long distance. In the long run, it will be cheaper to hire a truck rental spa dolly to safely move it to the new location.

Antique Movers
Much like your prized piano, antiques are irreplaceable items that need special care when moving and loading into the moving truck rental. Heirlooms such as grandfather clocks, old dressers, fancy mirrors and china vases all require special handling. The mechanism in a grandfather clock is quite sensitive and the moving pieces need to be secured properly without hampering the future inner workings of the clock. You will want to avoid scratches and damage on old dressers as well as the wood splitting or bowing from pressure or humidity. Protection is important while in the moving truck rental. Antique specialists usually are qualified in the preservation of heirlooms and their proper handling and packing.

Vehicle Movers
Suppose you have to fly to your new destination or you own more than one vehicle, how will you get the vehicles to the new location without driving them? For each vehicle, you would need a driver. Extra vehicles, however, can be transported in a variety of ways.
 Some truck rental companies specialize in preparing the vehicle to travel by train.
 Other truck rental businesses use ferries if the destination is situated across a body of water.
 Some truck rental vehicle movers secure the car or truck on long flatbed trucks like you see when new cars are being delivered to car dealerships.
 In addition, vehicles can be shipped in crates or containers with other household items but must follow certain regulations. The truck rental agency will pick up the container for shipping.
 Lastly, the vehicle can be moved to the new location simply by hiring a truck rental driver.

Office or Corporate Movers
For large corporate moves, many companies will hire truck rental specialists to complete the office move as it is more efficient and less time consuming than using their own staff. Typically staff are more productive doing the job for which they were hired. From having completed many corporate moves, the truck rental specialists can come in and complete office relocation with as little downtime to the company as possible.

Further, the truck rental specialists have the experience to pack up the office and know the little tips to make the job easier. With all the cords and little gadgets that go with computers, fax machines, telephones and other office equipment, something is bound to get lost. Professional truck rental office movers, however, have figured out ways to keep everything together so setup is streamlined in the new office space.

Refrigeration Trucks for Restaurants
When moving goods from a refrigerated warehouse or a restaurant freezer, a special truck rental may be necessary in order to keep the contents of the warehouse or freezer from spoiling. In most instances, a moving truck rental driver can be hired as well who is more familiar with handling the truck rental.

Bucket Trucks
For contractors and long-term truck rental users, their company may perform tasks that require the worker to be up high off the ground. Bucket truck rental vehicles are available to keep workers safe from using ladders in unstable areas.

Industrial Movers
Industrial type moves usually involve the relocation of a factory, the disposal of materials or even the delivery of raw materials. Factories and producers may hire an industrial moving truck rental company to remove the toxic or hazardous waste from its plant to the hazardous waste dump. In addition, moving truck rental companies might move large pieces of machinery to job sites or pre-fabricated goods to the site where they are being installed. Whole houses can even be moved on specialty moving truck rental units.

Indeed there are many types of specialty moving truck rental movers. If you are not sure how to handle the move on any item in your home or business, contact an authorized dealer and they may be able to recommend a company to aid in the preparation, moving and setting up of your item. In some instances, the truck rental mover may only be experienced at packing the item and moving it. You may still require someone to test the item at the new destination or set it up. An example is a piano that would need tuning. When you book your truck rental move, let the truck rental agency know about any items that need special handling. The truck rental company should be able to advise you on where to find further help.
