Furniture Lift Checklist: Forget Nothing

Furniture lift checklist: clarify what matters beforehand
Sorted in advance, relaxed on the day
A furniture lift, also called a furniture hoist, is the professional solution when bulky furniture such as wardrobes, sofas or pianos does not fit through the stairwell. Instead of hours of lugging up narrow stairs, the piece of furniture moves along the outside of the building directly to the window or balcony. That way you save time, spare your furniture and avoid damage to walls and railings. Especially with moves into upper floors without a lift, this service is indispensable.
Our furniture lift service is part of our comprehensive offer for private moves and is operated by our team. We check the conditions on site in advance, calculate the time needed and secure the surrounding area properly. You receive the fixed price after the survey, so you know what costs to expect before moving day. For your belongings we are liable under the rules of the German Commercial Code (HGB).

What we think about when planning
Leaving nothing to chance
With a furniture lift, the day depends on details that are easy to forget: the window that cannot be taken off its hinges, the tree in front of the façade, the missing parking restriction. We go through these points with you during the survey and note who takes care of what. You receive the fixed price afterwards; for your belongings we are liable under the HGB. We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21) – the Locations overview shows which places have their own pages.

Our range of services
A good checklist divides up the tasks: what do you clarify with the property management and neighbours, what do we apply for, and what gets checked once more on the day itself? That way nothing is left undone that would hold up the lift or the lorry.

Final check
Few belongings, but still a lift?
Even if only a few pieces of furniture are moving, a single heavy item can make the furniture lift necessary. For the journey itself a shared load may then be enough: your belongings travel along on a planned trip, and you pay for the loading space used. The lift and permit are listed separately in the quote.

Questions about the furniture lift checklist
Process of a furniture-lift deployment
Before the job, our experts inspect the location in order to plan the parking space, window height and access routes for the furniture lift as well as possible. On moving day the lift is set up safely, the surrounding area is cordoned off and all pieces of furniture are properly packed and transported.
How long the job takes depends on the floor and the number of items; we agree the schedule together in advance. Our team always works to clear safety standards so that both your furniture and the building stay protected.
Typical situations for a furniture lift
A furniture lift is particularly worthwhile in period flats without a lift, narrow stairwells or with bulky individual items such as pianos, wardrobes or large sofas. With spiral staircases that make conventional furniture transport impossible, the lift is also the safe alternative.
In new buildings, too, the furniture lift can make sense if bulky items do not fit into the lift car. Our team will gladly advise you on whether the job is worthwhile in your particular case.

What you should know about moving costs
The price depends primarily on the volume and the distance (from €4.15/km). But the floor and lift, as well as a necessary parking restriction zone, also have an effect. If you need additional furniture assembly or a shared load, you should say so in advance.
