Moving Pianos, Safes & Specialty Items

← Back to all guides

Some items take more than muscle — they take the right equipment, technique, and a heads-up in advance. If your move includes any of these, tell us when you book so we send the right crew.

Pianos

Uprights and especially grand pianos are heavy, top-heavy, and delicate inside. We use proper dollies, straps, and padding, and plan the path (doorways, turns, stairs) before lifting. Never try to "walk" a piano down stairs without the right gear.

Gun safes & heavy safes

Safes concentrate hundreds of pounds onto a tiny footprint, which can damage floors and stairs if mishandled. We assess the route, protect surfaces, and use equipment rated for the weight. Tight basements and stairs are doable — but we plan them carefully.

Gym equipment & appliances

Treadmills, multi-station gyms, and large appliances often need partial disassembly. Let us know the make/model if you can, and whether anything needs to be disconnected (we recommend a pro for gas appliances).

What we need from you

• List specialty items in your booking and add the specialty handling option.
• Tell us about stairs, tight corners, and long carries at both ends.
• Clear the path in advance so the crew can move safely.

A flat specialty add-on covers the extra equipment and care these items require, on top of the standard rate.
