What Does a Heavy Item Removalist Do?
A heavy item removalist moves things that are too heavy for a normal lift. They plan the way out, bring the right gear and send enough people to do it safely.
Moving a heavy item yourself is risky. A safe can tip on the stairs. A treadmill can scratch your floor. You can also hurt your back.
Our heavy item movers check the path before anyone lifts. We look at the stairs and the doorways. Then we move the item.
What Heavy Items Do We Move?
We move safes, gym equipment, stone tables, big appliances and solid timber furniture. Our heavy lifting removalists often move:
- Home and office safes
- Treadmills, exercise bikes and rowing machines
- Squat racks, weight benches and multi-gyms
- Marble, granite and stone-top tables
- Large fridges and freezers
- Washing machines and dryers
- Solid timber wardrobes, sideboards and dining tables
- Heavy outdoor settings and large BBQs

Moving a Safe
To move a safe, you need a strong trolley, floor protection and a clear path. The safe must also be unbolted first.
Safes are small but very heavy. They are often in hard-to-reach places, like a garage corner or the bottom of a wardrobe.
As safe removalists in Perth, we check the weight and the path before we quote. Keep your keys and codes with you, not inside the safe.
Moving a Home Gym
The easiest way to move a home gym is to take it apart. Box the loose weights and move the frames on their own.
Treadmills are long and hard to get around corners. Racks and multi-gyms usually need to come apart.
Our gym equipment removalists label every part. Then we put everything back together at your new home.
How Do You Move a Marble Table Without Cracking It?
Take the marble top off the base. Wrap it well and carry it upright, on its side. Never carry it flat, because it can crack.
Our marble table movers do this for every stone-top table. The base is moved on its own.
We take the same care with solid timber furniture. As heavy furniture removalists, we wrap each piece and plan how it will leave the room.
Fridges and Heavy Appliances
Big fridges must stay upright. They need to be strapped in and moved on an appliance trolley.
Empty and defrost your fridge at least one day before. Measure your doors too, as some fridges are wider than a hallway.
Our fridge removalists strap every fridge to the truck wall. We do the same for washing machines and dryers. Please drain your washing machine before we arrive.
Where Heavy Moves Get Tricky
Stairs, lifts, garages and steep driveways make heavy moves harder. Here’s how we plan for each one.
Garages and Sheds
Safes and gym gear are often kept in the garage. We check the driveway and the space to move before the day.
Two-Storey Homes
Many new homes in Ellenbrook and Baldivis have an upstairs gym or study. Heavy items on stairs need more people and a clear plan.
Apartments and Lifts
Moving out of an apartment in Cottesloe? Ask your building manager for the lift size and weight limit. Then send those details to us.
Steep Driveways in the Hills
Steep driveways in Kalamunda and Roleystone make heavy moves harder. We bring the right trolleys and plan the safest way to the truck.
How Much Does It Cost to Move Heavy Items?
The cost of heavy goods removals in Perth depends on the weight of the item, how easy it is to reach and how far it is going.
- Weight and size: Bigger items need more people and time.
- Access: Stairs, lifts and steep driveways take longer.
- Taking apart: Racks and big furniture take more time.
- Distance: A short move costs less than a move across Perth.
Send us a photo of the item. Add the weight or model if you know it. We’ll send you a free written quote.
