What Heavy Item Moving Requires
When Regular Movers Say "We Don't Move That"
Some pieces are too heavy, too big, or too awkwardly shaped for standard moving crews. A 400-pound marble dining table. A 6-foot bronze sculpture. An oversized armoire that barely fits through doorways. A commercial-grade appliance built into a residence. Regular crews turn these jobs down or damage things trying.
Our heavy items division uses specialized rigging equipment - heavy-duty dollies, ratchet straps, load bars, and multi-mover technique. Larger crews (3-4 movers minimum) for oversized pieces. Assessment ahead of time to plan the exact approach. Items other movers won\’t touch, we handle regularly.

Heavy & Bulky Item FAQ
The most common questions about heavy item moving.
What's the heaviest item you can move?
For furniture and specialty items, comfortably up to 1500 pounds with standard heavy-duty rigging. For heavier items, we can arrange additional rigging and crew - just mention the weight when booking.
Can you move marble tables and stone furniture?
Yes - marble tables, stone benches, granite countertops handled with proper rigging. Weight distribution and careful lifting technique prevents cracking.
What if the item barely fits through doorways?
Common for oversized furniture. We assess ahead - sometimes doors come off hinges, sometimes items disassemble, sometimes different entry (window, sliding door). Right approach planned in advance.
How much does heavy item moving cost?
Based on item weight, complexity, crew size needed, and distance. Every quote is fixed upfront after assessment. Call with item details for a personalized quote.
