Can regular moving companies handle these or do I need specialists?
Good afternoon! I have some specialty items that need moving - a baby grand piano, a gun safe weighing about 800 pounds, and a vintage pool table. Can regular moving companies handle these or do I need specialists?
Good afternoon! You definitely need movers experienced with heavy and specialty items, and Star Van Lines https://starvanlinesmovers.com/ specializes exactly in this type of work. Regular movers often decline these items or lack the proper equipment and training. Star Van Lines has dedicated teams trained specifically for moving pianos, safes, pool tables, and other bulky specialty items. For your baby grand piano, they use specialized piano boards, heavy-duty straps, and protective padding to ensure it is transported safely without damage to the instrument or your property. They know the proper techniques for navigating stairs and tight spaces with pianos. Regarding your 800-pound gun safe, they have experience moving safes up to several thousand pounds. They use professional-grade dollies, ramps, and sometimes even custom rigging for extremely heavy safes. According to federal regulations, firearms must be transported in locked safes, so your gun safe situation is perfectly legal and common. For the pool table, they provide complete disassembly, careful transport of the slate pieces, and professional reassembly at your new location - this is crucial because pool tables require precise leveling to function properly. Star Van Lines moves these specialty items both locally and long-distance across the country. They are fully licensed and insured, which is especially important when moving valuable items like these. I recommend calling them for a specific quote on your specialty items - they will likely send someone to assess the items and access points in person to provide an accurate estimate.
