Our Oversized Expertise

Lifting a 600 lb piano, an iron-clad safe, or a slate pool table isn't just about muscle. It's about physics. It's geometry. Trying to DIY a massive item like that is a fast track to a serious injury—or a destroyed hardwood floor. We have the technical know-how to maneuver wildly heavy and oversized pieces, from grand pianos to industrial fridges.

Our UpMove technicians aren't just strong; they’re highly trained in heavy-load handling. We use exact tilt angles, heavy-duty ergonomic straps, and specialized dollies to glide complex loads with surprising ease. Even in the tightest Ottawa hallways or the steepest, narrowest staircases.

The difference with our experts:

  • Absolute protection: Floor protectors, neoprene mats, and thick covers deployed systematically.
  • Technique and precision: Every maneuver is calculated to distribute weight and avoid any impact.
  • Advanced gear: Reinforced tire dollies, stair sleds, and certified strength straps.

Billiard Table Disassembly

Meticulous disassembly of the rails, removal of slates, and expert reassembly at destination.

Trained Heavy Handling Technicians

A specialized team mastering synchronized lifting techniques for oversized loads.

Absolute protection of floors and door frames

Total insulation of your home with protective mats and frame guards to prevent the slightest scratch.

Specialized Lifting Equipment

Use of transport straps, harnesses, heavy-duty rolling platforms, and moving sleds.

How it works

1

Access Evaluation and Angle Calculation

We rigorously measure doorway widths, staircase inclines, and landings to devise the safest exit route.

2

Custom Preparation and Protection

The heavy object is fully padded (blankets, wraps), and the surfaces of your home are covered with industrial protectors.

3

Synchronized Lifting, Transport, and Positioning

Our technicians use their straps in perfect sync to lift the mass, secure it in the truck, and install it exactly where you want it.

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

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!

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

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 :)!

Milan and Yaroslav were really great guys. Showed up on time, wrapped everything fragile, and worked efficiently. The move took longer than expected but they did not complain and continued working. Nothing got damaged and everything was delivered perfectly. They were also fun to chat with and were great communicators. I’d hire Milan and Yaroslav again.
