Move heavy museum exhibit

Chippendale NSW 2008, Australia

24th Nov 2025

Hi, we’re looking for someone to help us move a 200 to 250 kg pin wall that’s part of a museum exhibit into position. We’re thinking we could possibly place it on a blanket and slide it upstairs onto the first level where it needs to go, then we need someone to help us assemble it. Someone with experience in moving heavy items would be ideal. This job would probably take half an hour to an hour at most. It involves a flight of stairs that curves, so please be mindful of that.

Move several heavy item next door.

$150

Beaconsfield, New South Wales

3rd Oct 2025

I’m moving into the house next door, so it’s a very short move. I’ll already have all the smaller items packed and moved myself — I just need help with the larger, bulkier pieces of furniture. Items to move include: • 4 x large mirrors • 1 x large 3-seater couch • 1 x large chair • 1 x bed frame (possibly, depending on timing) • 1 x large dining table • 1 x desk • Several ceramic planter pots/containers • 1 x large plant Access details: • Most items are just down a few steps and up a few steps. • A few items will need to go upstairs. Other details: • The move is literally into the house next door. • The main challenge is the size and weight of the items, not the distance. Note: I couldn’t add a photo of everything - Bed, Desk (not pictured is a standing / sitting desk ) and one mirror are in the second floor so will need to go downstairs and then upstairs.) everything else is on street level with four stairs in front of the home that will need to go down and up. Looking for someone with the right equipment and experience to move bulky furniture safely. Pickup location: Beaconsfield NSW 2015, Australia Drop-off location: Beaconsfield NSW 2015, Australia Removals size: House Stairs: At both places

Awesome crew, worked extra hard to make the move happen
