Specialty Moving Services for Heavy & High-Value Items

Some items can't go on a regular moving truck without special preparation. A gun safe in the basement, a solid wood armoire on the second floor, or a piece of commercial equipment needs the right tools, the right technique, and a crew that has done it before.

Castle Express Moving & Storage offers specialty moving services across Hartford County and Western Massachusetts. Our specialty team has the equipment and experience to move heavy, oversized, and high-value items safely, without damaging your home or the item itself.

What Sets Specialty Moving Companies Apart

Not all movers are equipped for specialty work. Specialty moving companies invest in the tools and training that heavy and fragile items require. Our specialty team uses:

Piano boards for upright, baby grand, and grand pianos
Heavy-duty dollies rated for safes and dense furniture
Stair climbers for moving heavy items up and down staircases
Custom crating for fine art, mirrors, and fragile oversized pieces
Padding and wrapping sized to each item

Gun Safe Movers

Gun safes and fire safes are some of the heaviest items in a home, and they're often in the hardest places to reach. As experienced gun safe movers, we handle:

Gun safes and fire safes of all sizes
Basement safe extractions using stair climbers
Moving safes up or down staircases
Placement exactly where you want the safe in your new home
Every safe move starts with an assessment of the safe, the path out of your home, and any obstacles along the way

Heavy Furniture Movers

Solid wood dressers, armoires, sleeper sofas, and antique pieces can be just as tricky as a safe. Our heavy furniture movers protect both the furniture and your home:

Antique furniture that needs extra protection
Large and heavy furniture pieces that need disassembly and reassembly
Pool tables
Hot tubs
Specialty beds, including adjustable Sleep Number beds
Every piece is padded, wrapped, and moved with the right equipment, then placed where you want it

Heavy Equipment Movers

We also work as heavy equipment movers for homes and businesses. Our specialty team moves:

Heavy machinery and commercial equipment
Medical and wellness equipment, including hyperbaric oxygen chambers
Oversized items that need a planned route and extra crew

How Much Do Specialty Moving Services Cost?

Pricing depends on the item, the number of stairs, and the distance. Because every specialty move is different, we give you a specific quote after we know what's moving. Request a free estimate and choose Piano / Gun Safe as your move size.
