Heavy Items Need a Plan, Not Just Muscle
Most moving damage happens with the heaviest pieces. A safe tips on a step, a piano gets dragged across hardwood, or a refrigerator takes a chunk out of a doorframe. Moving heavy items safely comes down to planning the route, having enough people, and using the right equipment for the weight.
Before we lift anything, we look at the path: stairs, door widths, turns, and what the ground is like outside (concrete, gravel, or grass). Then we bring a crew and equipment sized for the job.
Heavy items we move
- Gun safes and home safes
- Pianos
- Refrigerators, including sub-zero units
- Washers, dryers, and deep freezers
- Home gym equipment and weight machines

On the commercial side, we've removed an X-ray machine from Jones AT&T Stadium. If it's heavy and has to come out carefully, we want to hear about it.
How We Move Heavy Items
Send a photo
Tell us what it is, where it is, and where it's going. Photos of the path help a lot.
We plan the route
We check stairs, doorways, and turns, and choose the right crew size and equipment.
Protect, then lift
The item is wrapped and padded, and floors and doorjambs are protected before it moves.
Placed and level
It goes exactly where you want it, set down carefully.
Moving a Gun Safe
Safes are the most common heavy item we move, and the heaviest. A few things make the job go smoothly:
- Empty it first. Firearms and ammunition can't ride along on a move, and an empty safe is lighter and safer to handle.
- Know the size. Brand, model, or height and width help us bring the right dolly and enough hands.
- Tell us about the ground. Steps, gravel driveways, and grass all change how we move it.
- Plan the final spot. Once it's down, moving a safe again is a whole new job.
What Affects the Cost of Moving a Heavy Item
- Weight and size of the item, and how many people it takes
- Stairs and steps. These add time and risk, and they're factored into the price.
- Ground and access: gravel, grass, narrow gates, and tight turns
- Distance between pickup and drop-off
- Extra items moved on the same trip

Heavy Item Moving FAQ
How heavy of a safe can you move?
We've moved safes around 1,000 lb, including across rough terrain and into homes. Tell us the size and model, and we'll plan the crew and equipment.
Do I need to empty my gun safe before you move it?
Yes. Firearms and ammunition can't be transported on a household move, so please remove them before we arrive. An empty safe is also lighter and safer to move.
Do you move pianos?
Yes. We move pianos within the home, across town, and to family members' houses. Tell us the type of piano and any stairs involved.
Can you move a refrigerator upstairs or into a tight kitchen?
Yes. We've moved a 776 lb sub-zero refrigerator with care. We measure the path and protect floors and doorjambs before moving it.
Will you move just one heavy item?
Yes. Single heavy items are a normal job for us. See small moves for other just-a-few-items jobs.
