Moving Large Items and Equipment? Here’s What You Need to Know
Long-distance moves often involve more than boxes and furniture. Vehicles, gym equipment, pianos, and even backyard playsets require extra care—and sometimes extra planning. That’s where Atlas Van Lines Canada comes in.
With decades of experience, a trusted national network, and crews trained to handle specialty items, we help ensure that your large and unique belongings arrive safe, secure, and ready to use in your new home.
What Counts as a Special Item?
Some items are just too large, delicate, or valuable for a standard moving process. These include:
- Vehicles (cars, motorcycles, boats, ATVs)
- Pianos (upright, baby grand, concert grand)
- Pool tables and home gyms
- Outdoor playsets and swing sets
Every one of these requires the right equipment, protective materials, and experienced movers—and that’s exactly what Atlas provides.
Vehicle & Equipment Transport Across Canada
Moving a car, motorcycle, or boat? Atlas can arrange secure enclosed or open-carrier shipping to your new address.
For motorcycles, our movers:
- Drain the fuel before transport
- Use a ramp and straps to secure the bike
- Wrap fragile or protruding parts (with your permission)
We also coordinate boat transport as part of your full household move or as a separate shipment. Either way, we’ll walk you through how to prep your boat for long-distance travel.
Piano Moving You Can Trust
Pianos require more than strength—they demand skill. Our piano movers use:
- Proper dollies and padded wraps
- Floor protection at both locations
- Piano boards for safe stair navigation
- Interior trailer strapping to prevent shifting
For larger instruments like concert grands, we work with specialized crews to carefully disassemble and reassemble your piano.
Pool Tables, Home Gyms, and Backyard Equipment
We also manage the moving of:
- Pool Tables: Disassembly and reassembly with trusted experts
- Home Gym Equipment: Secure transport for treadmills, ellipticals, and weight machines
- Playsets & Swing Sets: We coordinate disassembly and professional reassembly so your kids feel right at home
If additional expertise is required, your local Atlas agent will connect you with our network of trusted specialists.
