Moving with Difficult Access

Are you moving with difficult access and have oversize furniture?

Here at Smartmove we often come across properties with tight stairwells or obstructing walls that mean you can’t get your much loved furniture to the desired spot in your home or even worse not even in the front door.

SmartMove have solutions where as other companies might struggle.

Balcony Lifts

The solution to moving with difficult access might be a balcony lift, this involves protecting your furniture with removal blankets, shrink wrapping to ensure the maximum protection then some cleaver removal rope tying before man power come into play.

In order to conduct a balcony lift we often require images of the item, the view of the balcony from the ground and the view from the ground to the balcony to ensure its safe to carry out.

Craning

When an item is exceptionally heavy we have the resources to bring in a mobile crane to mechanically lift the item to an access point.

Using the crane does require a site visit prior to the move to ensure we meet all the OH&S requirements and the lift can take place without incident but can be the only answer to moving with difficult access for some customers.

No matter what lifting job you need to be done, Smartmove has the skills and knowledge you need!
