Specialized Moving in Milwaukie, OR
Professional Care for Your Most Valuable, Fragile, or Heavy Items
You’re moving something that ordinary movers don’t handle every day. This isn’t about boxes and beds. It’s about the things you can’t replace — a piano you learned on, that antique armoire passed down generations, a gun safe filled with valued items, or a pool table that anchors family game night.
At Moving Fellows, we focus on specialized moving services for people in Milwaukie, OR, and nearby areas like Historic Milwaukie, Ardenwald, Island Station, Linwood, Lewelling, and Oak Grove. We help with every detail so you don’t have to worry about your specialty items getting scratched, dented, or damaged.

Our Specialized Moving Services in Milwaukie
Here’s what our team can help you with:
🎹 Piano Moving
Whether it’s upright, baby grand, or concert grand, we handle it with precision and team coordination. We protect your instrument throughout the move — from wrapped legs to secure placement in the truck.
🛡️ Gun Safe & Heavy Safe Moving
Gun safes can weigh hundreds or thousands of pounds. We plan the lift, use specialty lifting harnesses, and move them safely without scratching floors or stressing door frames.
🎱 Pool Table Moving
Pool tables need disassembly, careful padding, and reassembly at the new location. We do exactly that — and make sure it plays true afterward.
🖼️ Antique & Fine Art Moving
Fragile antiques and fine art items need custom protection like foam inserts, art boxes, and sometimes custom crates. Our trained crews know how to wrap and transport without compromising history or value.
🏥 Medical Equipment & Industrial Equipment Moving
Heavy or sensitive equipment like diagnostic tools or machinery need expert planning, special materials, and secure loading — and that’s what we provide.

How Our Process Works
We don’t guess. We plan.
Free onsite or virtual assessment
We look at the items you want moved, measure, and plan the route.
Item inventory & packing plan
Your specialty items get listed and assigned the right materials — double-walled boxes, bubble wrap, glassware boxes, custom foam.
Protective prep
We protect floors, walls, and doorways with runners and padding before a single item moves.
Safe loading & transport
We use appliance dollies, stair climbers, and air-ride suspension trucks to keep things smooth.
Unloading and placement
At your new location we put everything right where you want it — including reassembly.
Final check
We walk through with you. Everything should arrive intact and exactly as planned.
This method cuts down stress and surprises. And yes — we clean up before we leave.
Why Specialized Moving Matters in Milwaukie
Most moves are straightforward — box up the kitchen, load the truck, drive a few miles, unload. But some items are heavy, fragile, odd-shaped, or super valuable. They need more than strength. They need:
- The right tools — heavy-duty dollies, stair climbers, liftgate-equipped trucks, padding, custom wooden crates.
- The right technique — protective floor runners, shrink wrap, straps & tie-downs, anti-static wraps.
- The right plan — item assessment, custom crating where needed, inventory documentation, gentle loading, careful unloading.
Standard movers often charge extra or simply don’t offer this level of care. That’s where we’re different.

- Local Residential Moving

F.A.Qs
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a specialized move?
For local specialized moves, booking 2–6 weeks ahead is smart, especially in the spring and summer when demand is highest.
What counts as a “specialty item?”
Anything heavy, fragile, or valuable — pianos, safes, pool tables, fine art, antiques, medical or industrial equipment. If you’re unsure, just ask. We’ll let you know before we quote.
Do you provide packing materials?
Yes. We use custom crates, glassware and art boxes, foam inserts, anti-static wrap, and more depending on the item.
How much does a specialized move cost?
Costs vary by the item type, size, access challenges (like stairs), and distance. We give detailed, transparent estimates so there are no surprises.
Can you move items in rainy weather?
Milwaukie gets more rain than many places, but we plan for it. We protect items with weatherproof coverings and don’t cancel unless conditions are unsafe.
What if my item needs disassembly or reassembly?
Our crews handle that. We bring the tools for disassembling and reassembling large or complex items.
Do you offer storage if my new place isn’t ready yet?
Yes. We provide short-term and long-term storage options, including climate-controlled space if needed.
