Beyond impressed! Abdallah and his righthand man did such a brilliant job moving what I’d expected to be a 3 man job, with such care and strategy. Manoeuvring a 2.5m HEAVY wooden sideboard is one thing. Getting it in a room from a hallway is a whole other set of skills. Definitely saving his number for any future jobs, and would highly recommend him for your job. Punctual. Friendly. Careful. Efficient.

$50

Blackburn South VIC, Australia

4th Nov 2025

I am looking for two strong and reliable individuals to safely lift and place my washing machine onto a recently built base unit/pedestal. This is a quick and straightforward task that requires coordinated heavy lifting. What is Required: 1. Safety First: Coordinated, safe, and careful lifting of the washing machine. 2.

The machine will be fully disconnected and ready to move prior to your arrival. 5. Care of Property: Care must be taken to avoid scratching the floor, the base unit, or the washing machine. The base unit is fully assembled and has small slider pads under the legs. Details of Items: * Washing Machine: Standard size front-loader. (See photo.) * Base Unit: Flat pack unit, which is now fully assembled and in place. The box image is provided for reference of the unit type. (See photo.) * Location: The lift is a very short distance, straight up from the floor onto the unit in the laundry area. (See photo of the laundry area.) Important Notes: * This is a two-person job due to the weight and awkwardness of the washing machine. * Please confirm that you have experience with heavy/awkward lifting.
