Furniture packing/unpacking
Some moves require more than standard transport. Born to Move Movers offers special moving services designed for situations where access is limited, items are oversized, or standard entry points are not possible. From hoisting furniture through windows to arranging crane services and parking permits, every detail is handled with care. The team plans each move based on your building layout, street conditions, and item size to reduce delays and complications. With the right equipment, trained movers, and clear coordination, even the most difficult moves can be completed safely and efficiently.
Solving Difficult Moves Others Cannot Handle
Special Moving Services are needed when standard moving is not enough. Tight staircases, narrow doorways, heavy items, and limited street access can cause delays, damage, and added stress without proper planning.
Born to Move Movers provides Special Moving Services in Greater Boston and nearby areas, including Cambridge, Newton, Brookline, and Somerville. The team handles complex moves, including furniture hoisting, crane services for upper floors, and parking permit coordination to improve truck access.
With trained crews, proper equipment, and clear planning, each move is managed to protect your belongings and reduce complications. If your move involves tight spaces, oversized items, or difficult access, contact Born to Move Movers today for the right solution.
Specialized Moving Help for Tight Access and Heavy Items
Parking Permits
Parking is one of the most common challenges during a move. Moving trucks typically require at least two parking spaces, and if there is no loading dock, a permit is highly recommended. This ensures proper truck access, saves time, and helps avoid delays.
Permits are especially important in busy areas and on one-way streets. Without one, movers may need to park farther away, increasing move time and cost. Customers are responsible for any parking tickets if a permit is not secured. Permits can be arranged through City Hall or handled for you for an additional fee. Planning at least two weeks is recommended.
Hoisting Services
When items do not fit through doors or staircases, hoisting may be required. Furniture can be safely moved through windows or balconies by trained professionals using proper equipment. This service typically requires three movers and additional effort. Hoisting fees and hourly labor rates apply, depending on the scope of the move. In some cases, windows can be temporarily removed to allow safe access.
Crane Hoisting
For large or heavy items that need to reach higher floors, crane service may be required. This is commonly used for items like pianos or oversized furniture. Crane services are billed hourly, usually with a minimum time requirement, plus labor.
Crane Permits and Police Details
Crane operations require proper permits and, in some cases, temporary street closures. These permits can be obtained through City Hall or arranged for you. For safety, police details may also be required to control traffic and secure the area during crane operations.
Smart Solutions for Hard-to-Access Moves
Special moving services require more than standard moving experience. Born to Move Movers helps solve difficult access problems when furniture, pianos, or oversized items cannot fit through doors, hallways, or staircases. The team can provide hoisting through windows or balconies, crane services for upper floors, and parking permit coordination when truck access is limited. These solutions help reduce delays, protect the property, and make the move safer. Proper planning is especially important in areas with narrow streets, limited parking, or one-way roads. With trained movers, the right equipment, and careful coordination, each move is handled safely and with control. Choosing experienced special moving services helps avoid damage, save time, and complete challenging moves with confidence.
