Why Regular Junk Haulers Say No: Most junk removal companies limit items to what 2 guys can lift. A 700-lb slate pool table or 800-lb gun safe requires trained crews with proper equipment — heavy-duty dollies, moving straps, stair-climbing equipment, and floor protection. We invest in the right crew size and tools for every job.

Heavy Items We Specialize In

Pianos

Upright, baby grand, grand, and digital pianos. We handle the legs, lid, and pedal assembly. Uprights go out on a piano dolly; grands are partially disassembled. We protect floors with moving blankets and hardboard.

Gun Safes

From 200-lb residential safes to 1,000+ lb commercial models. We use heavy-duty appliance dollies and stair-climbing equipment. Safes are moved upright and strapped throughout transport. We can remove from basements, second floors, and tight closets.

Pool Tables

Slate pool tables are disassembled on-site — rails removed, felt preserved if requested, slate pieces carried separately. A 3-piece slate table can weigh 1,000+ lbs assembled; breaking it down is the only safe way to move it.

Hot Tubs & Spas

Empty hot tubs still weigh 500-900 lbs. We disconnect (you handle electrical), cut apart if needed for access, and haul away. Shell material goes to recycling where possible. See our hot tub removal page for full details.

Exercise Equipment

Treadmills (200-350 lbs), ellipticals (200-300 lbs), weight machines (300-600 lbs), and Pelotons. We disassemble multi-station home gyms and heavy commercial equipment. Metal frames are recycled.

Solid Wood Furniture

Antique armoires, executive desks, hutches, grandfather clocks, solid oak dining sets. These pieces are beautiful but brutally heavy. We have the crew size and care to remove them without damaging your home.

Our Heavy Removal Process

  1. Assessment: You send photos and describe the item, location (floor, stairs, doorway width). We quote based on weight, access, and crew needed.
  2. Crew dispatch: We send the right team — 3-4 person crews for heavy items, with appropriate equipment pre-loaded on the truck.
  3. Floor protection: Moving blankets on floors, corner guards on doorframes, hardboard on hardwood. Your home is protected.
  4. Disassembly: Pool tables broken down, piano legs removed, safes tilted onto dollies. We do it right.
  5. Removal: Professional lifting techniques, strapping, and controlled movement through your home and out to the truck.
  6. Disposal: Metal frames recycled. Wood recycled or donated. Pianos donated when playable. Safes scrapped.

Stair & Access Considerations

Heavy items + stairs = higher risk and more crew time. Here's how we handle it:

  • Basement stairs: Most common challenge. We use stair-climbing dollies and controlled descent techniques. Add $50-$100 for basement heavy items.
  • Second/third floor: We assess stairway width and turns before starting. Some items (grand pianos) may need crane service for upper floors — we'll tell you upfront.
  • Tight doorways: Items disassembled when possible. Pool table rails removed, piano legs detached, safe doors removed to reduce width.
  • Elevator buildings: Weight limit of the elevator determines approach. Most freight elevators handle gun safes and pianos. Residential elevators may not.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you remove a piano from a basement?
Yes. We remove pianos from basements regularly across Denver. Upright pianos come out on a piano dolly with 3-4 crew members controlling the ascent. Grand pianos are partially disassembled first (legs and lid removed) to reduce weight and width. Basement piano removal typically adds $100-$200 to the standard price depending on stair configuration.
How do you move a 1,000-lb gun safe?
Heavy-duty appliance dollies rated for 1,200+ lbs, moving straps, and a 4-person crew. The safe stays upright throughout. For stairs, we use stair-climbing equipment and controlled descent with one person per corner. We protect floors with hardboard and blankets. The entire process typically takes 45-90 minutes depending on access.
Do you donate pianos?
When possible, yes. Playable pianos in good condition go to schools, churches, and community organizations. However, many older pianos are not worth the cost of tuning and repair — in those cases, we recycle the metal components (strings, harp, hardware) and responsibly dispose of the wood cabinet. We'll assess your piano's condition on-site.
Can you remove a pool table from upstairs?
Yes. Slate pool tables are always disassembled before removal — we remove the rails, pockets, and felt, then carry each piece of slate separately (each piece weighs 150-250 lbs). This is the only safe way to move a pool table through doorways and down stairs. Full disassembly and removal takes 1-2 hours.
What's the heaviest thing you've removed?
We've removed commercial safes over 2,000 lbs, industrial equipment from basements, and full commercial kitchen setups. If it fits through a standard doorway (or can be disassembled to fit), we can remove it. For items over 1,500 lbs, we may use specialized equipment or additional crew members.
Do regular junk removal companies handle heavy items?
Most don't. Standard junk removal crews are 2 people with a truck — they can handle couches and dressers, but they'll turn away pianos, gun safes, and pool tables. We specifically staff for heavy removal with 3-4 person crews, heavy-duty equipment, and training in proper lifting techniques for oversized items.
Will you damage my floors or walls?
We take every precaution to prevent damage: moving blankets on hardwood and tile floors, corner guards on doorframes, hardboard for heavy rolling loads, and wall protection in hallways. In 500+ heavy item removals, we've maintained a clean damage record. If anything is damaged during removal, our insurance covers it.
How quickly can you remove a heavy item?
Same-day service is available for most heavy items when you call before 2pm. We dispatch a properly-sized crew with the right equipment. Heavy items typically take 30-90 minutes on-site depending on the item, access, and stairs. For large gun safes or grand pianos, allow 1-2 hours.
