TAKE A LOAD OFF MOVING · SPECIALTY MOVES
Large item movers in Nanaimo.
Pianos, pool tables, hot tubs, safes and bulky equipment. Plan the item, access and destination with one Nanaimo-based team serving Vancouver Island.
Based in Nanaimo. Estimates tailored to your job.
CARE IS IN THE PREPARATION
The right plan starts with the item.
Oversized pieces need more than extra hands. Their dimensions, construction, condition and route determine the crew and equipment. Whether you are moving home, collecting a purchase or relocating business equipment, send the details before arranging the pickup.
Pianos
Upright, grand and digital piano moves need instrument details and a clear route. Share dimensions and photos of stairs, turns and doorways.
Pool tables
A pool table technician is available, including for solid-slate moves. Plan the table assessment, disassembly and destination setup together.
Hot tubs
A drained, disconnected tub still needs its dimensions and access assessed. Plan preparation, transport and the destination placement before booking.
Safes, vaults & heavy furniture
Send size, approximate weight if known, floor level and route photos. Identify delicate finishes, loose parts and access restrictions.
Fitness & household equipment
Treadmills, gym equipment, Murphy beds, wall units and oversized furniture may need preparation or disassembly. Discuss the item and destination requirements.
Business & shop equipment
Motorcycles, commercial refrigeration, machinery, workbenches and bulky stock need job-specific handling. Confirm preparation, unloading and placement with the office.
FROM FIRST CONTACT TO PLACEMENT
A coordinated move, at every stage.
Show us the item
Share the type, size, approximate weight if known, condition and photos. Include all specialty items in the same request.
Map both access routes
Identify the pickup and destination floor, stairs, lifts, tight turns and truck parking. Photos make awkward access easier to assess.
Review the written plan
Confirm crew, equipment, travel, preparation, specialist work and charges in your estimate and booking documents.
Prepare for the agreed move
Clear the route, arrange building access and complete any agreed preparation. Qualified trades should handle any necessary utility disconnection.
MAKE THE FIRST CONVERSATION USEFUL
Show us what needs moving.
Use the detailed estimate form and include the following. If a measurement or construction detail is unknown, say so and send photos.
- Item type, make or model, dimensions and approximate weight if known.
- Clear photos of the item and any fragile or loose components.
- Pickup and destination addresses, with the final placement location.
- Stairs, landings, doors, lift dimensions and loading-area photos.
- Parking, carry distance, building hours and reservations.
- Preferred date, disassembly, reassembly and specialist work required.
What determines the price?
Crew size, equipment, preparation, specialist work, stairs, carry distance and travel affect specialty-moving estimates. Review applicable minimums, taxes and charges in the written estimate and current booking terms.

Provide both addresses, the loading route and any fixed arrival window. Confirm the handling and travel arrangement for the individual job.

For a move beyond the Island, discuss the complete route and specialty handling with our office before booking.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Good questions. Clear next steps.
Can you move a single large item?
Yes. Include the item, both addresses, preferred date and access photos. A single item still needs suitable handling, equipment and a confirmed booking.
Do you have a pool table technician?
Yes. Technician support is available for pool table moves, including solid-slate tables. The estimate confirms table assessment, preparation, handling and setup requirements.
Can you move large items on stairs?
Send photos and measurements before booking. Suitability, crew and equipment depend on the specific item and route; stairs or tight turns must be assessed first.
Can this be part of my household or business move?
Yes. Include every specialty item in the full inventory so the office can plan the services, sequence and equipment together.
What preparation is required for appliances or machinery?
Describe the item and any utility connections. Confirm preparation before the move, with qualified trades handling disconnection where necessary. Do not assume installation or specialist trade work is included.
CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
Care through the move.
“They moved my Harley for me and I was extremely impressed with how careful and precise the team was. They secured the bike properly, used the right equipment, and treated it with real respect. It arrived exactly as it left, and I would trust them again for any specialty move.”
Daniel Harper · Comox, BC
“We needed a large safe moved from our basement and I was worried it would be a difficult job. Their crew handled it smoothly, planned the route, and protected the walls and flooring the entire time. Professional, steady, and clearly experienced.”
Nicole Fraser · Tofino, BC
“We hired them to move an upright piano and the process was efficient and stress free. The movers communicated clearly, coordinated the lift, and placed it perfectly in our new home. They made a complicated move look easy.”
Jordan McKay · Abbotsford, BC
