Heavy item movers in Surrey, BC. We move the gun safes, vaults, hot tubs and oversized pieces a normal crew won’t touch, with the right people and the right gear.
Honest hourly estimate. No obligation.
Some items don’t fit in a normal move. A heavy gun safe down a flight of stairs. A pool table that has to come apart and go back together level. A hot tub off a back deck. These need a crew that has done it before, not a pair of extra hands and a hope. Local Movers Ltd has been moving Surrey’s heaviest items for over 6 years, with hundreds of moves behind us.
We run our own crews. No subcontractors, no rotating strangers showing up at your door. The same trained people who handle our IKEA, Cozey and Samsung deliveries are the ones lifting your safe or your appliances. They know how to read a doorway, a stairwell and a turn before they pick anything up.
We work across Surrey homes and businesses, seven days a week, including the heavy industrial items out in Port Kells. Pricing is time-based, billed on the actual hours worked and broken down up front. If you have something big and awkward and you’re not sure it can be moved, that’s the call we want.
Gun safes and vaults are the items most movers flat out refuse. We do them. The right crew size, skid boards and stair-climbing gear get a heavy safe through a doorway and down to the basement without gouging your floors or cracking a step. We plan the path before anyone lifts.
Big appliances, hot tubs, pool tables, oversized sectionals and treadmills, the pieces that are too heavy, too wide or too awkward for a standard truck and a two-person lift. We bring dollies, straps and the people to match the weight, and we protect every doorway and corner on the way out.
Heavy moving is about equipment as much as muscle. We come with dollies, skid boards, straps and stair-climbing gear, plus floor and doorway protection. The right tools mean the item moves controlled instead of dragged, and your home or business looks the same after as it did before.
You pay for the hours the move takes, broken down before we start. Never a flat-rate guess.
The team that quotes your move is the team that shows up and does it.

Heavy item movers in Surrey all get asked the same first question. What will this cost? Our answer never changes. Pricing is time-based, billed on the actual hours the crew works. There’s a minimum charge that covers the truck and crew to your door. After the minimum, the clock runs in 30-minute increments. You never pay for a rounded-up hour nobody worked.
Before we book your move, we break the price down up front. The hourly rate, the crew size, the travel time, all in plain numbers before anyone touches your safe. It’s the same breakdown we give IKEA and Cozey on their biggest deliveries, and it’s why the bill matches the estimate. Four things move the number more than anything else.
A 300 lb gun safe is a 2-mover job with the stair-climbing dolly. An 800 lb vault takes 3 or 4 movers plus skid boards. We set the crew size when we quote, not on your doorstep.
A straight roll through a garage is the fastest job we do. A basement staircase with a tight landing can add 30 to 60 minutes. In a condo tower, a booked and padded service elevator keeps the clock short.
Pool tables, big wardrobes and gym machines come apart, travel, and go back together. That work sits inside the hourly rate, never a hidden fee. Plan on about an hour each side for a slate pool table.
A hot tub through a narrow side yard, or machinery out of a Port Kells shop. The tighter the path, the more time the crew spends steering and protecting. Photos of both ends make your quote sharper.
That’s the whole pricing story. Actual hours, 30-minute increments after the minimum charge, the breakdown in your hands before we start. Call (778) 242-2877 with the item, the weight if you know it, and what the path looks like at both ends. You’ll have an honest number in about 5 minutes.
Six years of Surrey safes, hot tubs and pool tables taught us what saves customers real money. Here are 10 things worth doing before our truck pulls up. Every one of them takes time off your bill.
Even a small gun safe sheds 50 to 150 lb once the contents come out. Pull the shelves too if they lift free. A lighter safe can mean a smaller crew, and fewer hours on your bill.
Tell us how many steps we’re working and whether the staircase has a landing. A tape measure on the narrowest doorway takes you 2 minutes and can save the crew 30 on move day.
Condo towers in Surrey usually reserve service elevators in 2-hour windows, and weekends fill first. Ask your strata for the pads and the key. A locked-off elevator is the biggest time-saver in any tower move.
Pull the drain plug 24 hours out and leave it open. The lines hold water long after the shell looks empty, and a tub that’s half full isn’t safe to lift.
One of the item, one of the path out, one of where the truck parks. Those 3 photos let us size the crew right the first time. A 2-mover crew that should’ve been 3 costs you more hours.
Move the shoe rack, roll up the runner, and prop the doors. If the fit is within an inch, ask us about pulling a door off its hinges. Every 10 minutes of clearing you do is 10 minutes off the clock.
Check the manual or the sticker on the back. A 400 lb safe and an 800 lb safe are different jobs with different gear. Can’t find it? Give us the make and model and we’ll look it up.
Don’t unbolt the rails or lift the slate yourself. Slate cracks, and cracked slate can’t be repaired. Our crew takes a 3-piece slate table apart, moves it, and levels it again, roughly an hour each side.
Defrost the freezer, tape the doors shut, and leave the water lines to us. A Samsung fridge with an ice maker needs the line disconnected and the reservoir drained before it tips onto a dolly.
Crews are freshest and the day has slack. A 9 am safe move that runs long still finishes on time. A 4 pm start runs into your evening. Weekends book out first, so call 5 to 7 days ahead.
Fraser Heights is its own little island. Highway 1 seals off the whole south edge, the Fraser River runs the north, and most days you get in one way, up 160 Street. Once you’re in, it’s big detached executive homes on elevated, treed lots, and a lot of them sit at the top of a long, steep driveway. That geometry is the whole job on a heavy move. A gun safe or a hot tub doesn’t care that the truck can’t get close to the door.
Take a typical safe move up near the Fraser Heights Village Centre off 108 Avenue. Truck parks at the bottom of the driveway, the safe has to travel up the slope, then through the front door and down to a basement room. We plan that route before anyone lifts. Skid boards and a stair-climbing dolly so the weight rolls, not drags. Slope means we control the descent, not fight it. Doorways and corners get padded, floors get protected.
A move like that runs a crew sized to the weight of the item and the access, billed on the actual hours worked and broken down for you up front. No flat-rate guess on something this heavy. If your place is one of the gated ones off 160 Street with a tight turn at the gate, tell us at booking so we bring the right gear and the right number of hands.
Yes. Safes and vaults are one of the main reasons people call us. We size the crew to the weight, use skid boards and stair-climbing gear, and plan the route through doorways and stairs before we start the lift.
Heavy item moves are billed on time, on the actual hours worked. We break the rate down for you up front so you know how the price is built before we begin. We never quote a flat rate or hide the hard part in fine print.
Yes. Both are regular jobs for us. Hot tubs come off decks and through tight side yards, and pool tables are taken apart, moved and reassembled level. We bring the dollies, straps and crew the job calls for.
Not the way we work. We lay floor protection, pad doorways and corners, and use dollies and skid boards so weight rolls instead of drags. Protecting the home is part of the job, not an extra.
No. Every heavy move is handled by our own trained crew, the same people trusted by IKEA, Cozey and Samsung for their largest deliveries. You get experienced movers, not whoever was available that day.
Yes. We work with Surrey businesses, including heavy machinery and oversized equipment out in the Port Kells industrial area. Tell us the item, the weight and the access, and we’ll bring the right crew and gear.
Usually not. Our crew handles disassembly and reassembly for pieces like pool tables and large furniture as part of the move. If there’s something you’d like to prep, tell us when you book and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Yes, and it’s a big part of the job up there. A lot of Fraser Heights homes sit at the top of a long slope off 160 Street. We park the truck where it fits, then move the item up the driveway on skid boards and a stair-climbing dolly so the weight rolls and we control the slope. We plan that route before we lift anything.
Yes. Fraser Heights has some of Surrey’s gated communities, and the tight turn at a gate or a narrow lane is exactly the kind of access we plan for. Tell us at booking that it’s gated and give us the item and weight, so we bring the right dollies and the right number of hands for the turn.
