What Is Specialized Moving?
Specialized moving is more than regular moving. It’s handling the things that matter the most — items that are:
unusually heavy
oddly shaped
fragile
expensive
sensitive to movement or climate
This includes things like pianos, safes, fine art, medical and lab equipment, electronics, and custom wood crates made just for your items. These moves need extra planning, special tools, and movers who know what they’re doing. Many Hillsboro movers can do a basic local move, but specialized moving is its own craft.

What Makes Our Service Different from Others in Hillsboro?
Most local movers listed in directories offer basic services like loading, storage, or local transport. But specialized moves require real expertise. Competitors often list services like piano moving or crating in a list, but they don’t explain how they protect items. We do.
Instead of generic packing, we:
- assess sensitivity to humidity and temperature
- document item condition before moving
- design custom protection plans
- use industry-grade equipment
That level of detail matters.
Specialized Moving Services We Provide
Here’s a closer look at the services people in Hillsboro, OR ask for most.
Piano Moving
Whether it’s an upright piano in Jackson School Neighborhood or a concert grand near The Streets of Tanasbourne, piano moving isn’t a standard task. Our crew uses special piano boards, lift straps, and handling techniques so keys, legs, and soundboards stay intact.
We can:
- move baby grands, uprights, and concert pianos
- pack them safely for long distance
- maintain environmental stability during transport
This isn’t something a typical mover offers — it’s a specialized skill.
Safe & Vault Moving
Heavy, awkward, and secure — safes are a challenge. Our movers use:
- air-ride moving trucks
- appliance dollies
- tie-downs and rigging tools
to move safes without twisting your back or damaging floors.
Antique & Fine Art Moving
These items often have emotional value, not just monetary value. We pack antiques with:
- felt pads
- anti-vibration packaging
- art-specific glassine wrap
- custom crating
and transport them in climate-controlled vehicles.
Estate & High-Value Item Moving
Estate moves need precision, respect, and a plan. We help coordinate:
- packing, unpacking
- inventory tracking
- safe transport of heirlooms and collections
This service is ideal for downsizing, liquidating, or moving a loved one.
Medical & Laboratory Equipment Moving
Delicate scientific and medical equipment demands accuracy and stability. We use:
- secure packing
- shock-absorbing padding
- precision loading
to make sure sensitive devices arrive ready for use.
Electronics & IT Equipment Moving
From home theaters to servers, electronics need protection from static, bumps, and movement. We use:
- anti-static wraps
- secure crate systems
- padded transport
to protect your tech investments.
Trade Show & Exhibit Moving
Big displays, breakables, and complicated setups require organization. We help with:
- custom crating
- packing and unpacking
- setup logistics at the destination
Custom Crating Services
Some items simply don’t fit a box. That’s why we build crates tailored to:
- irregular shapes
- fragile materials
- special weight distributions
Custom crates mean fewer surprises.
Packing & Unpacking
Packers aren’t all the same. We use materials that match your item’s needs, labeling everything to reduce confusion when you arrive.
Loading & Unloading Assistance
Heavy moves start and end with safe loading and unloading. Our team knows:
- how to protect walls and floors
- how to balance loads for safe transport
- how to manage tricky spaces like narrow hallways and stairwells
Climate-Controlled Storage
Sometimes your move needs a pause. Our secure units protect items from heat, humidity, and moisture until you’re ready.
Local & Long-Distance Moving
Whether your specialty items go across town or across the country, we plan for the distance, conditions, and environment of the journey.
How Our Process Works (What You’ll Actually Experience)
Here’s how we make sure your move goes well:
Step 1: Free Consultation & Pre-Move Evaluation
We talk, inspect items, and spot challenges before moving day. You get clarity.
Step 2: Clear Quote & Contract
No hidden fees. You see what you’re paying for.
Step 3: Professional Packing
We only use materials and methods that protect your items right.
Step 4: Precision Loading
Everything goes on the truck in a way that prevents shifting or damage.
Step 5: Safe Transport
Climate control, secure strapping, and careful driving.
Step 6: Unpacking & Setup
Not just drop and go. We place items where you want them.
Step 7: Follow-Up
We check in to make sure everything worked out.
This process isn’t common with every mover in Hillsboro. Many only do basic loading and unloading. We go deeper.
