We do the heavy lifting safely

Let's be blunt: trying to get a 600lb gun safe up a narrow set of stairs in a Hull duplex is how people end up with broken backs or shattered hardwood floors. It's not about brute force; it's entirely about physics and leverage.

We don't lift these beasts on our shoulders. Our specialized crews use heavy-duty safe dollies, stair-climbing crawler tracks, and reinforced harness systems. We distribute the immense weight safely, taking it one inch at a time so your walls and doorframes stay untouched.

Protecting Your Floors (Our #1 Priority)

A heavy safe will crush standard tile and leave deep grooves in hardwood the second it rolls over them. We create a completely reinforced path using high-grade neoprene floor runners and plywood sheets to disperse the load perfectly.

Specialized Equipment

Equipped with heavy-duty dollies and reinforced straps designed for extreme weights.

Property Protection

We use high-grade floor runners and plywood to ensure no damage occurs to your flooring.

Staircase Navigation

Trained professionals using techniques to safely move heavy items up or down stairs.

Secure Strapping

Safes are bolted and strapped securely inside our trucks to prevent any movement.

How it works

1

Weight & Path Assessment

We evaluate the weight of the safe and plan the exact route, considering stairs and flooring.

2

Securing the Safe

The safe is wrapped in blankets and strapped to specialized moving equipment.

3

Controlled Transport

Using professional lifting techniques, we safely maneuver the safe to its new location.

Oleg, Vladimir & Radion are fantastic! I couldn't be happier with the job they did! They were so friendly, professional & efficient! I hired them to move my business from an hour outside of Ottawa into the city. Oleg met me ahead of time and viewed both places & what I was moving. I had several heavy appliances to be moved, and I was worried about them fitting in my new location. Oleg was very reassuring that they would put every effort into getting them in & put me at ease immediately. They had to carry in the fridges & freezers & flip them around to stand them up under a low ceiling. They moved a couch up a flight of stairs & it was heavy and not an easy fit. They were so friendly while they worked and had great senses if humour! They took a lot of care with everything they moved & the space. They worked quickly & efficiently, disassembled items, removed door hinges, and they put everything where I wanted. It was the easiest and least stressful move I've ever gone through & I can't recommend them enough!

I hired Ottawa Best Movers (UpMove Ottawa) last month to help me move into my first home, and I couldn’t have been happier with the service. Since I had never hired professional movers before, I was feeling a little anxious about the process and having strangers handle my furniture and personal belongings. However, Oleg and Milan were both friendly, hardworking, respectful, and trustworthy. They immediately made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the experience. Moving into my first home was a very important milestone for me, and I truly appreciated how positive and stress-free they made the experience. It was a pleasure having Oleg and Milan as my movers, and I have absolutely no complaints. I would highly recommend Ottawa Best Movers to anyone looking for a reliable and professional moving company. Laura K

It was a great experience. Everything was on time, and the movers were very professional. They handled our large furniture well and were careful with everything. Overall, very happy with the service and would definitely recommend them!

UpMove led by Oleg is an excellent business. The team who helped us really cared about our belongings and were very efficient. They worked so hard to get the truck to fit for the load out and delivered early the next day as we moved cities. This team are pros and I would highly recommend to anyone moving within city and to a different city. Very clear pricing model with great communication for the clients. Thank you rod, Tanya, Nadia, old, Alex and Andrew for all your help. You guys are amazing

Oleg and his team were exceptional for my move from Ottawa to Montreal! I will absolutely be using them again. They showed up on time, worked incredibly efficiently, and handled my items with care. They even went the extra mile and fixed a drawer for me before packing it on the truck. They were very accommodating when I had an address update and made the day as stress free as one could expect a move to be. Their “we got this” attitude really helped to keep me at ease throughout the day. Thank you so much for the awesome experience!

I am very pleased to hire the UpMove who helped me with moving. Moving can be very stressful, but not so much if you hired the right person. I’d like to recognize the team of Oleg, Radion & Nikita. They were professional, efficient, carefully wrapped my furnitures and move my upright piano with skillful hands. The price is very reasonable, given that it also included my heavy piano move. They were also very skillful at stacking the furnitures so that everything fits into the storage unit - this is a big save on my end. I would highly recommend UpMove and the team of Oleg Radion Nikita :)!

I hired UpMove Ottawa to move me from my apartment unit to another unit. They showed up earlier than expected; but they gave me notice of the time change. Andrew and Rad were very efficient and friendly. They were very professional and the move went well. I was very impressed when I arrived at my new place to see the boxes neatly stacked. The furniture was well placed too. I would hire UpMove again when needed. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a moving company for their move.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Yes. As long as you have the safe open so we can access the interior bolts, we can back them out. We cannot, however, patch the concrete holes left behind.

Absolutely. We carry comprehensive liability insurance specifically for this reason, though our track record of using plywood tracking and stair-crawlers means we almost never need to use it.

Yes, 100%. Not only for liability and security reasons, but because even 50lbs of internal weight shifts unpredictably during a tilt, which is incredibly dangerous for the movers.

We can, but we need photos of the path. Walkout basements often mean moving over soft grass or mud, which requires us to build a solid plywood runway so the 800lb safe doesn't sink into your lawn.
