Whether you need help shifting furniture, transporting appliances, or moving a fragile item, you can easily find heavy lifting help near you by using the platform. You can also negotiate for help with packing, depending on the Tasker.
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.
Professional heavy movers use tools such as dollies, trolleys, lifting straps, sliders, and sometimes even mobile lifting machines. These help reduce strain and ensure safe handling of bulky or awkward equipment and furniture that don’t easily fit in boxes.
The 5 P’s (Plan, Position, Pick, Proceed, and Place) are guidelines for lifting safely. They help ensure you assess the load, position your body correctly, lift carefully, and set the item down safely.
Yes, many Taskers are experienced in moving heavy or bulky items up and down stairs. When posting your task, it’s helpful to mention details such as stair width, number of flights, and whether there are tight corners.

Everything is already in a van at the destination, ready for unloading. This job probably takes 1 hour with 2 people helping.
