Move heavy table upstairs

$100

Malvern VIC 3144, Australia

29th Dec 2025

I’ve a heavy table that I’ve managed to get out of my car and into the building but that’s as far as I could get it. Looking for someone (probably two strong people or we could assist a ding one strong person) to get the table the rest of the way. The table is a wooden square, 1100x1100m and just unnecessarily heavy. Before I scare off potential taskers, I have managed to get it from my ute and into my house before now and yesterday, with some assistance, we’ve managed to get it from ute into another building … we were just super hesitant when looking up the stairs! Will update post with pictures shortly. Thanks for reading this far

Prompt, polite and efficient. Easiest transaction ever.

Heavy Lift: Move Boxed 83" OLED TV Upstairs

$150

Carnegie VIC 3163, Australia

18th Dec 2025

Looking for two strong, experienced movers to carry one 83-inch OLED TV (boxed) from the ground floor to the first floor. This is a high-value, fragile item that requires careful handling. Item Details: Box Weight: Approximately 68kg. Box Dimensions: 209cm wide. Strict Requirement: The box MUST be kept upright at all times during the move to prevent panel flexing or internal damage. Stairwell Details: Route: 1 flight of stairs consisting of 3 sections and 2 bends. Width: The stairs are 0.8m wide. Landing Platforms: Each of the 2 bends has a 2m platform, providing space to pivot.

​Alex and Luke did a fantastic job moving my 83" OLED TV upstairs today. It was not an easy job due to the tricky layout and stair turns, but they handled it with total ease. Super careful with the equipment and walls. Great communication and a job well done. Thanks, guys!
