Extra heavy lifting when moving

Moving is not an easy task, especially when you need a hand with extra heavy lifting. While many moves that we don’t involve extra heavy lifting because typically we move household items such as furniture boxes, and sometimes appliances, other things that we need to do come with more demanding challenges. When items are too heavy or bulky, or we need additional mover to lift extra heavy items from the ground. This is called extra heavy lifting that comes into play, and we charge $60 per item for all items over 160 lbs.

Extra heavy extra charges
Born To Move charges for extra heavy lifting for items over 160 pounds. We charge $60 per item, which will involve paying this amount directly to the Movers for their hard work and sacrificing their muscles to move heavy stuff out from your current place to your new apartment. When we provide extra heavy moving service, we bring special trucks equipped with lift gates and ramps. Make sure we will place everything according to what you need, special equipment training, and the crew. This is what we need for your precise relocation, as well as for safety and efficiency.

When do we charge for extra heavy lifting?

  • All items over 160 pounds
  • Safe and vaults
  • Pianos (especially Grand or baby grand piano)
  • Hot tubs
  • Industrial equipment
  • Gun safes
  • Statues

Extra Heavy LiftingWhy is this different from a standard move?

Unlike regular moving furniture in boxes, extra heavy items will provide unique challenging and every challenge will require a solutions from us. That’s why, especially if we need to move a piano up or down the stairs.It will require us extra work and extra preparation to navigate stairs and tight spaces. Ensure getting 600 pound safe down the flight of stairs, isn’t just difficult. It’s dangerous without right equipment and right experience.

What equipment do we use?

At Born To Move, we use a variety of different equipment. Make sure to bring up or down pianos pr other extra heavy or bulky items, and move even one of the heaviest items. Our guys are strong, but nothing can be stronger than professional equipment. For extra heavy lifting, we always use liftgate truck straps and dollies—this equipment is utilized to perform a safe move. Sometimes we do need the crane if we have to move extraordinarily heavy objects that we cannot get up the stairs, and Born To Move provides a crane by customer request, so it’s very easy if you’re looking for crane services.

Permits

We do not require permits, but if you require to bring the crane to your location in one of the most congested area of the city we will have to get police involved to get in this street block and as well as getting the permit so make sure to secure a right spot to do the extra heavy Moving for you.
For information regarding moving permit and police details, you can contact our Moving representative directly and give us more details about whether you need the crane services so we can accommodate your request accordingly.

Safety first

Safety is our number one priority. We know it’s going to be challenging for guys to do the moves without safety, which is why we use specialized straps, stair climbers, and protective floor covering to ensure everything is handled professionally. We don’t want to risk an injury or property damage. That’s why we follow safety regulations. Sometimes it goes against the customer’s will, because the move will take longer, but safety is always our number one priority. We prioritize it first.
