Professional movers like Zenith Moving rely on specialized gear like ice cleats for enhanced traction, weather-resistant moving blankets, and heavy-duty plastic wrap to protect items from snow and sleet. Having proper snow shovels, rock salt, and sand on hand ensures pathways remain clear and safe throughout the moving process.
