Scope of this page: moving steel safes, filing cabinets and heavy items inside a home or office, or between them, in the Eastern Province. For a whole home office see home office movers, and for pianos and instruments see piano and instrument movers.
What counts as a heavy item?
A heavy item is one a single worker cannot handle safely: a steel safe, a metal filing cabinet full of papers, a large commercial fridge, a marble piece or a solid-wood dining table. The weight alone is not the problem; it is the weight combined with narrow corridors, floor height and no lift.
So we give no answer until we know the approximate weight, the size, where the item is, and the width of the door, corridor and stairs.
Measuring before lifting
We ask you to measure the item and the narrowest point along its exit route and send a photo of the corridor and door. If a safe is wider than the door or a spiral stair will not let it turn, we say so before booking, not at the door. If the piece needs special equipment or a specialist safe mover we tell you honestly and do not gamble with it.
For buildings without a lift read moving without a lift because the floor changes the crew size.
How we lift: crew, straps and dollies
We use trained workers in sufficient numbers, lifting straps and moving dollies placed under the item instead of dragging it, and we cover the floor with boards or sheets. We do not drag safes over marble or tile, and we do not use one or two workers for what exceeds their capacity.
Our service relies on workers inside the building; if an item cannot pass inside we tell you before booking.
Protecting floors, walls and the item itself
We shield door edges and walls with thin boards and wrap the item against scratches. For safes we confirm the door is locked before lifting so it cannot swing open. We advise emptying the safe of valuables and carrying them yourself.
See protecting floors and walls while moving for more on protection.
Placing it in the new location
At the new place we agree the position before bringing the item in. Some homes fix safes to a wall or floor; we only move the item into position, and fixing is done by a specialist you choose. We place other heavy pieces and check they sit level.
