In the United States, heavy lifting help (or labor-only, short-haul moves) varies based on the length of the job, the number of movers, surge fees, building access conditions (stairs, narrow hallways), and included services. For local moves or lifting tasks, hourly rates for a standard two-man crew, moving truck included, often fall in the range of $100 to $160 per hour.

On Airtasker, you can post your task, get competitive quotes from local businesses and compare price, availability and reviews to find the right fit.
