Pricing guide
Costs for heavy-item moves are driven by the item type and the access or handling difficulty. Simple moves using standard trolleys and a 2–3 person crew are typically less expensive than jobs that need specialist rigging, crane or repeated stair carries; regional callout and hourly rates also influence the final cost. After-hours attendance, large equipment hire and permit requirements can further increase the overall price.
Item type and weight
Bulky or dense items such as pianos, safes or pool tables often trigger specialist handling and increase scope.
Access and carry route
Stairs, tight landings, long carries or restricted access typically add significant labour time and complexity.
Crew size and labour-hours
Quotes are based on crew labour-hours, so moves needing more hands or slower handling usually require more labour time.
Equipment hire and permits
Crane, forklift or other specialist hire and any necessary permit allowances are treated as additional material costs and planning effort.
Callout, timing and region
Regional callout and hourly rates are applied, and after-hours attendance typically attracts a higher rate than standard hours.
