Need a 100kg dentist chair moved from Clifton Hill to Brunswick

$120

Clifton Hill VIC 3068, Australia

1st Jul 2026

Hi, I need help moving an item from Clifton Hill to a studio in Brunswick on June 6. Access at pickup is straightforward. The item is just up the stairs in the foyer. The stairs are about 2 m wide, with no tight turns, nooks, or narrow stairwell. It is just a wide open set of 8 steps. The doorway is a double-width door and can be completely detached, so clearance should be good. I would recommend sliding/lowering the item down the stairs with rope or straps, rather than carrying it down the stairs or using a dolly. Once it is down the steps, it can be loaded and transported to the studio in Brunswick. Please bring suitable rope/straps, moving blankets, and a vehicle large enough for the item. :)

Northcote VIC 3070, Australia

URGENT - Labourer Needed Today (Northcote) We urgently need two strong workers to help move a very heavy solid travertine coffee table into a client’s home.

The job should only take less than an hour, but you must be physically fit and comfortable lifting heavy items as the table is extremely heavy. 📍 Location: Northcote 📅 When: Today (urgent) preferably before 2pm If you’re available today, please get in touch as soon as possible with your availability.

Move an extremely heavy table from Parkville to Brunswick

$400

Parkville VIC, Australia

25th May 2026

This job will require 4 strong men to complete. The table has been dismantled so that the tabletop is separate from the legs. It is solid oak and the table top weighs around 200kg. It’s is no joke extremely heavy. (Like marble or stone). Unfortunately it is on the 6th floor of an apartment building and does not fit in the lift (we have attempted). It will need to go down 6 flights of stairs. This will require smart and safe removalists and the right equipment. Pickup location: Parkville VIC, Australia Drop-off location: Brunswick VIC, Australia Removals size: A few items Stairs: At pickup

Clayton was absolutely incredible. He and his team mate moved an incredibly big and heavy table (over 200kgs) down 6 steep flights of stairs without a single problem. He’s also the nicest guy ever. Highly recommend
