Heavy Lifting Help From Smooth Move People

The Portland moving experts at Smooth Move People know how to get heavy things from Point A to Point B. Actually, it’s more like Point A to Point Z since there are lots of intermediate steps in between your current home and your new one.

Think about it: There’s the initial heavy item prep (dismantling, if necessary), securing the item(s) on a hand truck, attaching the moving straps, moving the item into the truck — and then out of the truck, down the ramp, into the new place, etc., etc., etc.

For truly heavy items, this kind of work should always be left to experienced and expert movers. A lot of things can go wrong — up to and including injury. Why put yourself to that sort of worry and stress when you have heavy lifting help near me — all done at the cheapest rates allowed by Oregon law? (It’s true; take a look here.)

We’ve got a handle on heavy lifting and moving because we’ve seen it all and moved it all before. We are really efficient at what we do, from loading and unloading items to wrapping them up so that no damage occurs during transit. We know how to make the best use of space and to make your moving day not a stressful one, but one in which you can tend to other necessities that come along with moving from one place to another.

The movers coordinated the delivery perfectly and kept everything in a secure truck until the day I could receive it. I was relieved when they arrived with everything in good condition. The long-distance move went more smoothly than my last local move.

They worked around the issue without complaint and stayed organized the whole time. I could see they had done this kind of job before, and their experience showed in how they handled everything.

I was impressed by how respectful the movers were when handling those items. They asked questions, packed things properly, and didn't rush the process. I felt relieved knowing their belongings were being handled with real care.

They moved quickly and didn't waste a second of the reserved time. I watched how carefully they loaded everything without banging into walls or doors. I felt relieved when everything was done without a single delay.

They worked really hard and finished packing everything securely, and I could not believe how easily they managed the whole process. My delicate antiques made it here unscathed, and for that I am eternally grateful.

I relocated my entire kitchen, including glassware and a big dining table, and I was so nervous something would break. The movers took their time and wrapped everything carefully, even the things I forgot to pack properly. I watched them handle it all with such focus. I was really glad I didn't try to do it myself.

I had some unusual furniture, like a hanging chair and a glass console table, and they wrapped each piece carefully. The crew worked steadily, remained polite, and arrived at the new location right on schedule. It was one of the few moves I’ve done that didn’t feel chaotic.

Our workplace moved last weekend, and I have never seen a group operate so efficiently. They were very careful with our gear, and we never had any downtime.
