Large Item Moving Requires the Right Team
Moving large and heavy items is not simply a matter of having enough people. It requires an understanding of weight distribution, structural vulnerability, and safe maneuvering techniques — as well as the purpose-built equipment needed to execute a move without damaging the item, the surrounding space, or the people involved.
At Jones Moving & Storage, our large item moving specialists are trained specifically for the demands of oversized and heavy item relocation. We arrive at every job with the right equipment, the right crew size, and a well-developed plan for navigating the specific challenges of your item and your property. Whether you are moving a single oversized piece or multiple large items as part of a broader relocation, our team is equipped to handle the job safely, efficiently, and without unnecessary risk to your belongings or your home.
We serve customers throughout Glendale, Scottsdale, Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Peoria, and communities across the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. Whatever large item you need moved, Jones Moving & Storage has the team and tools to get it done right.
Our Large Item Moving Process
Successfully moving large and heavy items requires careful planning, the right equipment, and a methodical approach that accounts for the specific characteristics of each item and the logistical challenges of each property. Our process is structured to eliminate risk and deliver a smooth, damage-free large item move every time.
Step 1 — Free Consultation & Assessment We begin with a detailed consultation to understand the specifics of your large item move. We discuss the type, dimensions, and weight of the item or items involved, their current location, the destination, any access challenges such as narrow doorways, stairways, or tight spaces, and the overall timeline of your relocation. This information allows us to develop an accurate quote and a detailed moving plan tailored to your specific situation.
Step 2 — Custom Move Planning Every large item move is planned in advance. We assess your property’s access points, pathways, floor types, and any obstacles that could complicate the move. We determine the right equipment, crew size, and approach for your specific item and location — so that nothing is left to chance on moving day.
Step 3 — Proper Preparation & Protection Before any large item is moved, our team takes the necessary steps to prepare and protect it for transport. This includes disassembly where applicable, protective wrapping and padding, and securing loose components to prevent damage during maneuvering and transit.
Step 4 — Specialized Equipment & Safe Maneuvering Our large item moving team uses purpose-built equipment — including heavy-duty dollies, furniture sliders, moving straps, ramps, and protective floor coverings — to safely maneuver oversized and heavy items through your home and onto the transport vehicle. Every movement is carefully coordinated to protect the item, your floors, walls, and doorframes throughout the process.
Step 5 — Secure Transport Once loaded, your large item is carefully secured inside the moving vehicle using professional strapping and bracing techniques that prevent any movement or shifting during transit. We treat your oversized belongings with the same level of care on the road as we do in your home.
Step 6 — Safe Delivery & Placement Upon arrival at the destination, our team carefully unloads your large item and positions it exactly where you want it. We take every precaution to protect your new space’s floors, walls, and finishes throughout the delivery and placement process, leaving your home in perfect condition once the job is complete.
Large Items We Move
Jones Moving & Storage is equipped to safely move a wide range of large, heavy, and oversized items throughout the Phoenix Valley and beyond.
Oversized Furniture Large sectional sofas, oversized dining tables, king-sized bed frames, armoires, and other bulky furniture pieces require careful disassembly, proper protection, and precise maneuvering to move without damage. Our team handles oversized furniture moves with the expertise and care these pieces deserve.
Gym Equipment Home gym equipment — including treadmills, ellipticals, weight machines, squat racks, and cable systems — is heavy, complex, and often requires partial disassembly before it can be safely moved. Our team handles gym equipment moves with the technical know-how and physical capability required to relocate your fitness investment without damage.
Safes Safes are among the heaviest items found in any home or business, and moving them safely requires specialized equipment and a team that understands how to manage extreme weight in confined spaces. Jones Moving & Storage is equipped to move safes of all sizes without damage to the unit, your floors, or your property.
Pool Tables Pool tables are deceptively complex items to move. They require careful disassembly — including the removal of the felt, rails, and slate — and precise reassembly at the destination to ensure the playing surface remains level and functional. Our team handles pool table moves with the technical precision this specialty item demands.
Arcade Games & Entertainment Systems Large arcade cabinets, pinball machines, and oversized entertainment systems are heavy, tall, and often top-heavy — making them challenging to maneuver safely without the right approach. Our team handles entertainment and gaming equipment moves with the care and equipment required to protect these items throughout the process.
Large Appliances Oversized refrigerators, commercial-grade stoves, wine refrigerators, and other large appliances require careful disconnection, proper protection, and precise handling to move without damage to the unit or your home. Our team manages large appliance moves safely and efficiently.
Antique & Oversized Furniture Large antique pieces — including armoires, buffets, china cabinets, and ornate headboards — combine significant size and weight with delicate finishes and irreplaceable value. Our team approaches antique and oversized furniture moves with the heightened level of care these pieces require.
Commercial Equipment Large commercial equipment, office furniture systems, industrial machinery, and other oversized business assets require a moving team with the right equipment and expertise to handle the demands of commercial-scale large item relocation. Jones Moving & Storage is equipped for large item moves in both residential and commercial environments.
