Heavy & Unusual Moving

Swift Movers provides expert heavy and unusual item moving services in San Antonio, handling everything from gun safes and pianos to gym equipment and oversized furniture. Our trained team uses specialized tools and proven techniques to move your toughest items safely, efficiently, and without damage.

What we move?

We handle items most movers won’t touch — including gun safes, upright pianos, pool tables, arcade machines, commercial fridges, gym equipment, artwork, large sculptures, and more. If it’s bulky, fragile, or just plain awkward, we’ve got the team and equipment to move it safely.

Special Equipment for Special Items

Our trucks are equipped with liftgates, heavy-duty dollies, and the right tools to move tough items with precision. We use straps, pads, and protective materials to avoid damage to the item or your property. Specialty crating is also available for fragile or high-value items.

Why Moving Experience Matters

Moving heavy and unusual items isn’t just about strength — it’s about strategy. Our team has moved thousands of oversized and awkward items over the years. We know how to navigate tight doorways, stairs, and delicate surfaces without causing damage. It’s muscle memory and experience you can’t fake.

Frequently asked questions

What types of heavy items do you move?

We move pianos, gun safes, pool tables, gym equipment, commercial appliances, large furniture, statues, arcade machines, and more. If it’s oversized or awkward, we’ve likely moved it before.

Do I need to empty my gun safe or appliance first?

Yes, for safety reasons we ask that you remove all contents from safes, fridges, or other heavy items before moving.

Do you provide padding or wrapping for fragile or odd-shaped items?

Absolutely. We use custom padding, shrink wrap, and protective equipment to ensure your items and property stay protected during the move.

Is there anything you don’t move?

Yes. For safety and legal reasons, we do not move ammunition, propane tanks, or other hazardous or flammable materials. If you’re unsure about a specific item, just ask — we’re happy to guide you.

How should I prepare my heavy item before the move?

If possible, disconnect or empty the item beforehand — for example, remove weights from gym equipment or empty drawers. Clear a safe path and let us know about stairs, tight spaces, or access concerns so we can bring the right tools and crew.
