What to expect
Gun safes, cash vaults, pool tables, treadmills, and workshop machines. If it is heavy and it has to go down to a basement or up a flight of stairs, we move it.
Basement safe installs, pool tables, Pelotons, and workshop machines all go to a crew sized for the weight. We check stairs, turns, and doorways before anything is lifted.
Heavy item jobs are priced as a flat job, quoted from the item and the access at both ends.
Careful help built around your move.
Moving is 20% lifting and 80% physics. A 700-pound safe on Pittsburgh stairs needs a crew that knows how to control it. Safes and heavy items are part of our specialty moving work.

Questions before you move.
Here are the practical questions customers most often ask before a move. Call us if your access, inventory, packing, or destination needs more context.
What should I share about Safe and Heavy Item Moving?
Share the move date, both addresses, inventory, stairs or elevator access, parking, and any packing help you need.
Why do you want photos of my furniture?
A flat-pack dresser and a 200-pound solid oak one need different help. Photos show the crew what they're lifting, so the right people and gear show up. Text them to (412) 498-5562 with your name and move date.
Do you handle walk-ups and steep streets?
Yes. We do third-floor walk-ups nearly every day, and our crews carry things by hand when the truck cannot reach the door.
Where will the truck park?
Sort out parking at both addresses. Some city spots mean parking on a busy street, and city moves need a permit from the Pittsburgh Parking Authority. Tell us anything the crew should know.
