Specialty Items

Pianos, gun safes, antiques, art, and gym equipment — the stuff that needs a plan.

Specialty Items

For owners of heavy or irreplaceable items.

You probably want this if…

  • An upright or grand piano
  • A 600-lb gun safe
  • Antiques, art, or a chandelier
  • A pool table or hot tub

What’s included

  • Piano boards, skids & straps
  • Custom crating for art & antiques
  • Stair & doorway rigging plan
  • Specialty dollies & padding
  • Extra-careful, extra-insured handling

Common questions

  • Per FMCSA rules, every interstate move includes free Released Value Protection ($0.60 per pound per item). You can upgrade to Full Value Protection, where we repair or replace damaged items, for an added charge. We explain both in writing before you choose; full coverage is worth it for valuable shipments.

  • Yes — it’s one of the things we’re known for. Pianos, gun safes, pool tables, art, antiques, and gym equipment get the right boards, skids, straps, and crating, plus a rigging plan for stairs and tight doorways. Specialty items are a flat add-on, quoted after a quick survey.
