Safes & Heavy Cabinets
Heavy cabinets, safes and similarly dense items that concentrate their weight in one spot and need controlled handling with the right equipment.

Heavy Item Moving
Some pieces are too heavy or too awkward for a normal move — a safe, a full-size appliance, a loaded gym rack or an oversized sectional. As heavy item movers in Montreal, UnBox brings the right dollies and straps, protects your floors and doorways, plans the access at both ends and keeps every lift controlled from the room to the truck.
Why choose it
Heavy-duty dollies and moving equipment
Protective padding and floor protection

What we move
Describe your item when you ask for a quote — with its rough dimensions and weight if you know them — and we'll confirm we can handle it safely.
Heavy cabinets, safes and similarly dense items that concentrate their weight in one spot and need controlled handling with the right equipment.
Heavy household appliances that have to clear doors, hallways, stairs and loading areas without marking floors or catching on tight corners.
Heavy exercise and fitness equipment — racks, machines and weights — that needs a planned route and controlled lifting rather than brute force.
Large or awkward furniture that can be difficult to move through standard doorways, staircases or elevators without careful angling and protection.
Local know-how
With a heavy item, the risk isn't the weight itself — it's the path it has to travel. Montreal's narrow triplex staircases, tight doors and hallways, angled landings and condo elevators often decide how a dense piece comes out. We weigh up parking and carry distance, protect floors, walls and doorways, and map every turn in advance so nothing is forced or improvised on the day.

The process
Share the item type, rough dimensions and weight if known, the pickup and delivery access, and any stairs or elevators involved.
We set the handling approach, crew size, dollies and straps, and the route through the building before moving day.
The item and surrounding surfaces are protected, then it's handled in a controlled way and loaded securely.
Secured for the drive, then unloaded carefully and set in the agreed spot at the destination.
Pricing
A heavy item move is priced on what the job actually requires, not a flat guess. What you pay depends on the item's type, dimensions and weight, access at pickup and delivery, stairs and floors, carry distance, the distance between addresses, and the crew and equipment required — including any difficult turns, doors or access constraints. You'll see a clear estimate before you book.

FAQ
Safes and heavy cabinets, large household appliances, gym and fitness equipment, and oversized or awkward furniture. Describe your item — with rough dimensions and weight if you know them — and we'll confirm we can handle it.
Yes. Single-item heavy moves are common — a treadmill, a fridge, a safe or one oversized piece — and we size the crew and equipment to that one item so you're not booking a full move.
Often yes, once we measure the staircase, width and turns and confirm the weight. If the access is too tight to do it safely, we'll tell you before booking rather than on moving day.
We use heavy-duty dollies, padding and floor protection along the planned route, and pad tight doorways and corners so a dense item doesn't mark the floors or scrape the walls on the way out.
An exact figure isn't required — a rough weight and the dimensions are enough for us to plan the crew and equipment. The make and model of an appliance or safe also helps us estimate accurately.
Yes. We plan the move around walk-up stairs or the building's elevator, narrow doors and tight turns, and any loading window or parking limits at both ends so the item and the building come through safely.
Pricing reflects the real work: the item's type, dimensions and weight, access at pickup and delivery, stairs and floors, carry distance, the distance between addresses, and the crew and equipment required. You'll see a clear estimate before you book.
Tell us what the item is, its rough dimensions and weight, the stairs or floors and elevator or parking access at both addresses, and your preferred date. If an appliance needs disconnecting from gas or plumbing, have a licensed technician handle that before we arrive.
