Furniture & Heavy Item Moving

Safe & Professional Heavy Item & Furniture Moving Services

Some items require special handling because of their size, weight or value. Pianos, gun safes, hot tubs and large antiques can be dangerous to move without the right equipment and experience. Sumners Dependable Movers offers dedicated furniture and heavy item moving services. Our crew uses specialized lifting techniques, protective padding and the proper equipment to ensure safe transport.

What we move

  • Pianos: Upright and baby grand pianos require careful disassembly, padding and securing. We use piano boards and straps to prevent damage.
  • Safes and gun cabinets: We protect floors and doorframes while moving heavy safes. Weight distribution is critical, and our movers are trained to handle it safely.
  • Large furniture: Sectionals, armoires and entertainment centers are disassembled, wrapped and moved with caution.
  • Special equipment: Hot tubs, pool tables, exercise equipment and workshop machinery are moved using dollies, skids and ramps.

Our process

Assessment

We measure doorways, staircases and hallways to plan the best route. We may remove doors or handrails temporarily.

Preparation

 Items are padded and wrapped. Moving blankets and shrink wrap protect finishes.

Team lifting

Heavy items are moved by teams using straps and dollies to distribute weight evenly. We may use additional movers for very heavy objects to avoid injury.

Transportation and placement

Once loaded, the item is secured in the truck. At the destination we unload and place the item exactly where you want it, and reassemble if necessary.

Tips for moving heavy items

  • Clear pathways: Remove rugs, doors or obstacles before the movers arrive.
  • Inform us ahead of time: Let us know what heavy items you have so we bring the proper equipment.
  • Do not attempt alone: Heavy item moving is dangerous without training. Leave it to professionals to avoid injury or damage.

FAQs About Weekend Movers LLC

  • Do you move pianos up or down stairs?

    Yes, but we need to evaluate the staircase and may require extra movers for safety.


  • Will you move a gun safe containing firearms?

    For safety, the safe must be emptied prior to moving. We will not transport firearms or ammunition.

    If necessary, we may remove interior doors or handrails temporarily. We replace them after completing the move.
