Excellent work! Marco and his team got my washer out of a very tight alcove which had to be lifted up over a basin sink to be removed and down a flight of tight stairs with a bend. They got the washer out in 10-20 mins quickly and efficiently.

Lift fridge up narrow set of stairs

$100

Canal Ward VIC, Australia

4th Nov 2025

I had a fridge delivered this morning and it is slightly too wide for the turning circle in my apartment’s flight of stairs. The delivery drivers don’t have permission to use things like ratchet straps to lift it up and over the railing. It’s heavy, I think it would be a 2-person job

Really happy with Sam’s service, they completed the job extremely quickly and he was lovely to deal with. Thanks Sam!
