One piano. One safe. One antique armoire. One treadmill stuck in the basement. We move individual items that are too heavy, too awkward, or too valuable to handle on your own.
When You Just Need One Thing Moved
Sometimes you do not need a full move — you need one specific item picked up and delivered, or moved from one room to another, or taken down three flights of stairs and loaded into a new home across town. The item might be a piano, a gun safe, a marble dining table, a commercial-grade treadmill, a hot tub, or a solid oak armoire that weighs more than it looks.
Moving Co. offers dedicated single item moving services for exactly these situations. We send the right number of movers with the right equipment to handle your item safely — whether that means a two-person crew with a dolly and moving blankets or a four-person team with a stair-climbing machine and specialty straps.
We do not believe there should be a massive minimum charge just because you only need one thing moved. Our single item service is priced fairly for the work involved, and we treat your one item with the same care we would give an entire household.
Items We Commonly Move
Pianos and Organs
Upright pianos, baby grands, full grand pianos, and electronic organs all require specialized handling. We use piano boards, heavy-duty straps, and padded wrapping to move pianos safely, including navigating staircases when necessary.
Safes and Gun Cabinets
Heavy safes — some weighing over 500 kilograms — require proper equipment and experienced movers. We handle floor safes, wall safes, gun safes, and commercial vault units with the right dollies and techniques.
Appliances
Refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves, and dishwashers — whether you are replacing a unit, moving one to a new address, or repositioning an appliance within your home, we handle the disconnection logistics, transportation, and placement.
Exercise Equipment
Treadmills, ellipticals, home gyms, and weight machines are heavy, bulky, and awkward. Many are in basements with narrow access. We disassemble what needs to be taken apart, move the components safely, and reassemble at the destination.
Antiques and High-Value Furniture
An antique grandfather clock, a marble-top credenza, a vintage hutch — these pieces need movers who understand their value and fragility. We use custom wrapping, blanket padding, and careful technique.
Oversized and Awkward Items
Hot tubs, pool tables, large artwork, sculptures, commercial signage — if it is heavy, awkward, or unusual, we have likely moved something similar before. Contact us with the details and we will tell you exactly how we would handle it.
Why Hire Professionals for One Item?
A single heavy item is often more dangerous to move than a house full of boxes. A dropped piano can go through a floor. A safe that tips on a staircase can cause serious injury. A treadmill base can gouge hardwood floors. An antique can crack if it is not properly supported during transport.
Professional single-item movers bring proper equipment — appliance dollies, stair-climbing devices, heavy-duty straps, custom padding — and the trained muscle memory to handle awkward loads in tight spaces. We also carry insurance, so your item and your property are covered.
For many people, a single item move also saves them from the cost and hassle of renting a truck, buying straps and blankets, and trying to recruit enough help to do it safely.
Common Single Item Move Scenarios
- Moving a piano from one home to another across town
- Getting a treadmill or elliptical out of a basement
- Delivering a large piece of furniture purchased from a private seller or online marketplace
- Relocating a safe to a new home or office
- Moving a washer and dryer to a new laundry location within a building
- Transporting a pool table with professional disassembly and levelling
- Moving a large piece of artwork or sculpture that requires specialty handling
Tips for Booking a Single Item Move
- Know your item’s dimensions and approximate weight. This helps us determine crew size and equipment needs.
- Tell us about access at both locations — stairs, elevators, narrow doorways, outdoor pathways, gravel driveways. The route matters as much as the item.
- If your item requires disassembly (like a pool table or exercise equipment), let us know in advance so we bring the right tools.
- For pianos, let us know the type — upright, baby grand, or grand — as each requires different handling and equipment.
- Clear a path. Remove rugs, door stops, and anything that might obstruct the route from the item to the truck.
- If the item has sentimental or monetary value, consider taking photos before the move for your own records.
