Built for the heavy stuff — up to 1,500 lbs.

Some items are simply too heavy, too bulky, or too valuable to trust to a standard move. That's exactly what our Oversized Items service is built for. We regularly handle single items weighing anywhere from 200 to 1,500 pounds — think gun and commercial safes, restaurant-grade refrigerators and ranges, commercial and fitness equipment, dense hardwood furniture, and similar heavy-duty pieces.

1,500 lbs is our hard maximum. If your item is heavier than that, reach out anyway — we'll give you an honest answer and point you in the right direction. No matter the size, distance, or number of items, every oversized move is handled by a licensed and insured crew.

A specific process, followed every time.

Moving oversized items isn't about brute force — it follows a very specific methodology that keeps your item, your property, and our crew safe from start to finish. Here's how every oversized move works:

Assessment & Planning

Before anything moves, we measure doorways, stairs, and tight turns, then map the safest path in and out. The right plan prevents the vast majority of problems on move day.

Property Protection

We lay floor runners along the entire route and add corner and doorway guards. Hardwood, tile, and stair treads are the most common damage points — so we protect them first.

Specialized Equipment

Heavy-duty appliance dollies, stair-climbing and hydraulic dollies, straps, rigging, and lift-gate trucks. Our crews lift with proven technique and proper crew size — never brute force.

Secured Transport

Your item is braced and strapped down for transit, then delivered door-to-door and placed exactly where you want it — backed by our 100% damage coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Oversized items are the heavy, bulky, or awkward pieces that a standard move isn't equipped for — gun and commercial safes, heavy-duty and commercial appliances (think restaurant-grade refrigerators and ranges), commercial and fitness equipment, industrial machinery, and dense hardwood or stone furniture. If it's heavy enough that you'd think twice about moving it yourself, it's a good candidate. Not sure? Just reach out and we'll let you know.
Yes. We move single items weighing roughly 200 to 1,500 pounds, and 1,500 lbs is a hard maximum for this service. If your item is heavier than that, reach out anyway — we'll give you an honest assessment and help point you toward the right solution.
Crew size is matched to the weight and the path — heavier items and stairs mean more movers. We bring heavy-duty appliance dollies, stair-climbing and hydraulic dollies, straps, rigging, and lift-gate trucks. Most importantly, our crews are trained to move with proper technique rather than brute force, which is what keeps both your item and our team safe.
Before the item moves an inch, we clear and protect the route — floor runners along the entire path, plus corner and doorway guards at the common contact points. Hardwood, tile, and stair treads take the most abuse during a heavy move, so they're the first thing we cover.
That's completely fine — oversized moves are rarely one-size-fits-all. Send us the details (what the item is, roughly how much it weighs, and where it's going), request a quote, or email us at friends@nypmovers.com, and we'll walk you through exactly how we'd handle it.
