Moving Pianos, Safes & Specialty Items

← Back to all guides

Some items take more than muscle to move safely — they take the right equipment, the right technique, and a heads-up in advance. Whether it's a piano, a gun safe, or heavy gym equipment, our professional movers come prepared. If your move includes any of these, just tell us when you book so we send the right team and gear.

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 team can move safely.

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