? Specialty Items We Move
Many homeowners and businesses have items that require special attention during a move. Here are some of the most common large and awkward items we move regularly.
? Piano Moving
Pianos are incredibly heavy, with some weighing over 1,000 pounds, and they’re also delicate instruments that require careful handling.
✔ We move all types of pianos:
- Baby grand and grand pianos
- Upright pianos
- Concert grand pianos
- Organs
Moving a piano yourself? It’s a huge risk! Let our team carefully disassemble, transport, and reassemble your piano so it arrives in perfect condition.
? Pool Table Moving
Pool tables are another bulky and complicated item to move. With multiple pieces, slate surfaces, and precise leveling, these tables require careful handling.
✔ Our pool table moving process includes:
- Disassembling the table
- Safely transporting all parts
- Reassembling and leveling at your new location
Whether you’re moving homes or just relocating a pool table, our professionals ensure safe, damage-free transport.
? Gun Safe Moving
Gun safes can weigh hundreds (or even thousands) of pounds, making them difficult and dangerous to move without professional equipment.
✔ Our gun safe moving services include:
- Using heavy-duty dollies and lifting straps
- Navigating tight spaces and stairs safely
- Preventing damage to floors, walls, and doorways
If you need your gun safe relocated, don’t risk injury—call the professionals!
?️ Moving Heavy Furniture
Large furniture pieces like sectional couches, bed frames, dining tables, and armoires can be difficult to maneuver, especially through narrow doorways and staircases.
✔ We ensure your furniture is protected by:
- Wrapping items in protective padding
- Using specialized lifting techniques
- Reassembling furniture after the move
If you need in-home moving to rearrange furniture, we also offer heavy-lifting services for home renovations and staging.
⏳ Antique & Grandfather Clock Moving
Grandfather clocks and other delicate antiques require extreme care when moving. The inner mechanisms and glass panels must be protected to prevent damage.
✔ Our team secures every part of your clock by:
- Removing pendulums and weights
- Wrapping fragile components in protective padding
- Reassembling the clock properly at your destination
If you’re moving family heirlooms or valuable antiques, trust Cross Town Movers to handle them with the care they deserve.
?️ Home Gym Equipment Moving
Investing in home gym equipment is great for your fitness, but moving it? Not so much! Treadmills, ellipticals, weight machines, and squat racks are bulky, heavy, and complex to move.
✔ Our gym equipment moving services include:
- Disassembling large machines for easy transport
- Securing weights and fragile parts
- Reassembling your gym at its new location
Let us handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on getting back to your workouts!
