What Makes a Move “Specialty”?

Not every move fits neatly into a standard box truck. Specialty moving is designed for items that are too heavy, too delicate, too large, or too valuable to be handled like everyday furniture.

These moves require:
Specialized equipment
Experienced crews
Careful planning
Clear communication before move day
If your item needs extra protection, custom handling, or advanced transport options, it qualifies as a specialty move.

If it’s heavy, fragile, oversized, or expensive — it probably does.

How Our Specialty Moving Process Works

We take a structured, plan-first approach to specialty moves to minimize risk and surprises.

1. Detailed Estimate  (We gather information by phone, text, video, or on-site to understand weight, dimensions, access, and transport needs)
2. Planning & Preparation (We determine the right crew size, equipment, protection materials, and transport method before scheduling the move)
3. Careful Handling (Items are padded, secured, lifted, and maneuvered using proper techniques and tools)
4. Secure Transport & Placement (We safely transport and place your item exactly where it needs to go)
We plan first — then we lift.

The Right Tools for the Job

Specialty moves demand more than basic dollies and straps. Our teams use professional equipment designed for heavy and delicate items, including:

Heavy-duty dollies and lifting straps
Ramps and floor protection
Padding and secure strapping systems
Liftgate-equipped trucks when needed
Experienced foremen overseeing complex moves
This allows us to move challenging items safely, efficiently, and without damage.

Flatbed & Specialized Transport Options

Some items don’t belong in a standard moving truck. For oversized, industrial, or palletized items, flatbed transportation may be the safest and most efficient option.

Flatbed transport is ideal for:
Palletized shipments
Heavy machinery or industrial equipment
Large commercial appliances
Construction or shop equipment
Oversized items that exceed box-truck limits
Flatbed moves require advance planning, proper access at pickup and delivery locations, and secure loading. Our team will assess whether flatbed transport is the right solution for your move.

How Specialty Move Pricing Works

Specialty moving is priced differently than standard household moves due to the added planning and equipment involved. Factors that affect pricing include:

Weight and dimensions of the item
Access challenges (stairs, tight hallways, limited clearance)
Crew size required
Equipment or transport method needed
Labor-only vs full transport services
We explain all pricing factors upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
