Pumps, Dart boards, Slot-machines. All things you can find in your local pub. You can find of course as the centrepiece of the far corner empty space, the snooker table. It\u2019s a staple of times out drinking with buddies and missing the easiest shots. It\u2019s also a sport worth millions with tables that have to be exactly to the specifications set out by the WPBSA. (World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association). This means they need to be moved, and that\u2019s where transporters come in. We get these through the DQC website and these tips will help you keep them safe and you with a customer.<\/p>\n
Not all pool tables have stone in them though. Some simply use wood, making them lighter and offering a feature that others don\u2019t. These ones fold in half, provided the design allows for it. This makes them a less awkward shape.<\/p>\n
Before IKEA came along to infuriate everyone with \u2018easy\u2019 to build furniture, we got by removing the out sticking bits from most things. Anything that can be removed should is a general rule to be followed. The reason for this is that it stops you from breaking anything off. Anything to lower risk is usually a good thing to do. Instead of building legs into the tables, snooker tables rest on the legs usually<\/p>\n
You\u2019re being asked to move only the snooker table of course. The customer however might assume this means you\u2019ll be taking the accessories too. This seems obvious but as always, clarity makes everything easier. The customer will have to individually wrap these items as most transporters don’t offer a wrapping service<\/p>\n
For the customers, you should pack you snooker carefully and properly. Of course the most delicate part of the assembly is the cloth itself. You don\u2019t want this to tear obviously, so a layer of cardboard over the top will offer plenty of protection. If you\u2019re particular about scuffing the wood padding it with news\/packing paper will help too.<\/p>\n
You don’t need to stuff the pockets but it will stop something getting lost in there. You should wrap the balls and cues up in bubble wrap to save damage. The triangle is probably fine on its own unless it\u2019s particularly fancy.<\/p>\n
Of course the more moving parts you have, a ball release and the like, means more things can break so always make sure everyone knows exactly what\u2019s happening. Preparation is key for these items and with this knowledge you\u2019ll have an entirely new set of drinking buddies failing those simple corner shots.<\/p>\n
