More information

Heavy furniture removalists: your questions answered

What can JB Stair Climbers move?+

Pianos, safes, machinery, commercial refrigeration, medical and laboratory equipment, arcade machines, stone, marble, oversized furniture and other heavy or fragile items. Every item and route is assessed individually. For instrument-specific preparation, see our piano removals service.

Can the equipment handle stairs and tight access?+

The stair-climbing system is designed to mechanically control heavy loads on suitable stair routes. JB considers stair width, landings, turns, load dimensions, weight distribution and surface protection before confirming the method. The stair climber hire page explains the machine, operator and managed-move options.

Does the machine replace the removalist crew?+

No. Specialist equipment reduces uncontrolled manual lifting, but trained removalists are still required to secure, guide and monitor the load. Crew size depends on the item, route and selected methodology.

What should I send for an assessment?+

Start with the item type, pickup and delivery locations, and your preferred timing. Add approximate weight and dimensions if known. Photos or video of the item, stairs, lifts, landings and final placement area help the assessment. You can submit an initial enquiry without every measurement; JB will confirm what else is needed.

Can you move heavy furniture as part of a house move?

Tell JB about marble tables, large cabinets, oversized furniture and other items needing specialist handling when you enquire. Include the full household inventory and explain the access at both properties. The team can assess specialist handling alongside your home removal. Confirm the equipment, protection, crew and any separate charges in the written scope.

What affects the cost of a heavy item removal?

The item’s weight, dimensions and fragility are considered alongside stairs, turns, carrying distances, loading access and final placement. Equipment, crew, protection and any site preparation also affect the plan. Provide the same details when comparing quotes and ask what is included. JB confirms pricing after reviewing the job; weight alone does not determine the cost. Include any packing and unpacking or storage between moving dates in your enquiry. Confirm suitability for large or oversized items, handling, redelivery and charges in the written quote.

How should I prepare access for a specialist move?

Share building-manager requirements, lift dimensions, loading-dock bookings and permitted working hours before the method is agreed. Explain anything that has changed since the inspection, including parked vehicles or construction work. Confirm who will arrange access and meet the team. For larger sites, our warehouse removals page covers inventory and operational planning.
