This was my first big move and I was nervous, but Zero Hour Moving made it painless. Booking was quick, the crew showed up on time, and nothing was scratched. Five stars from me!

Specialty Movers For Safes, Hot Tubs, Art And Equipment
Some items need more than strong backs: a 600-kilogram safe, a hot tub that has to go over a fence, a sculpture worth more than the truck. Zero Hour Moving specialty movers assess each item, bring the right equipment and move it without a scratch.
We move safes, hot tubs, fine art, antiques, medical and gym equipment, arcade and pinball machines, commercial kitchen equipment, light machinery and oversized furniture that regular movers turn down.
Our toolkit includes stair climbers, machine skates, hydraulic lifts, custom crates, padded art frames and rigging straps. Our crews are trained to protect both the item and your property.
Every specialty move is quoted individually after we understand the item and the access. The price is fixed and the job is done right the first time.
Good to know: every specialty move job is quoted individually and in writing. Tell us the details and we confirm availability and a clear price the same day.
