Moving is stressful enough as it is. Add big, heavy, precious items to the equation, and it becomes downright grim—not to mention exhausting. Seasoned moving companies like Bighorn Moving and Storage are piano movers, and hot tub movers rolled into one. Learn more about how Bighorn handles specialty items for your move. 

What is specialty moving?

When we say specialty moving, we mean those big, expensive, fragile items that you look at and think, “We can’t possibly move that.” This could be hot tubs, pool tables, pianos, arcade games, safes…well, you get the idea. Challenging items that look impossible to our customers but are an everyday part of our job. 

The big three

Three of the most common specialty items we’re asked to move include pool tables, hot tubs, and pianos. Here’s a bit about the process for each of these to inspire you with confidence when trusting Bighorn with your big items. 

Pool tables

The centrepiece of every good den, games room, or wood-panelled basement is the pool table. Pool tables are loads of fun but also costly, hard to move, and easy to damage. We handle pool tables by going straight to the source. Here’s how it works:

• Working with a professional partner company, your table is disassembled and crated for the ultimate protection on moving day. 

• When it reaches your new home, our partners re-assemble your table, ensuring felt quality (even refelting if necessary) and level, so you’re on an even playing field.

Pianos

A musician’s instrument is one of their most prized possessions. We have extensive experience as piano movers, including upright, grand, and even concert grand pianos. Hobbyist or professional, we protect your piano. 

How we move pianos safely and securely:

• It all starts with a phone or virtual consultation.

• We assess which equipment will be necessary and make a plan.

• Crating, lifting, and transporting your piano generally occur in one piece, not disassembled. 

• Your piano is safely delivered to your new home. If you require tuning services, we’re happy to connect you with a reputable tuner in your area!

Hot tubs

Don’t stress about the centrepiece of your backyard when it comes to planning your move. Here’s how we handle moving your hot tub:

• We set up a phone consultation with you to determine the best plan to move your hot tub. 

• Leading up to your moving date, one of our trusted partners will prepare your hot tub for moving, including draining and electrical.

• We bring in the necessary equipment for the safe moving of your hot tub. 

• Our partners hook up your hot tub at your new home!
