Specialized moving services

Safes, machinery and heavy equipment

Seek heavy-item riggers with appropriate lifting equipment, floor protection, and experience navigating tight spaces.

Pianos, large instruments and delicate electronics

Dedicated piano or equipment movers can be a better fit than general movers for items requiring specialized stabilization.

White-glove delivery details

How I would narrow down the choices

• For artwork, antiques, glass, or irreplaceable objects: start with Craters & Freighters and Matheson Transfer.
• For safes, machinery, very heavy furniture, or difficult stairways: contact Frick Transfer and ask about rigging.
• For a combination of ordinary furniture and specialty items at both locations: compare Shively's and We Haul Moving.

Before booking, request a written quote that specifies packing and crating, protection for floors and walls, loading and unloading, any disassembly or installation, and coverage for loss or damage. Confirm the coverage limits and exclusions for each high-value item.
