Heavy Item & Rope Access Removals in Perth

When rope access is the right choice

Rope access is the answer when the only way in is through the balcony: a couch that won't turn the corner in a stairwell, a bed base too long for the lift, or a building with no lift at all. The item is wrapped and padded, tied off securely, and hoisted by rope from the street or courtyard to the balcony, with a team member guiding it at the bottom and at the top.

Crane-assisted lifts

For the biggest and heaviest pieces, or for heights where a rope lift isn't suitable, we arrange a crane-assisted lift. We'll look at photos of the item and the building and tell you which method is safest before you book.

Rope access prices

Every rope-access job is different, so we look at the site before quoting. Rope access starts from $400. Moving a piano adds $100 to our normal hourly rates. Prices exclude GST. See all our prices.

Heavy and fragile items we move

• Pianos
• Marble and stone dining tables and benchtops
• Timber and stone vanity benches
• Sculptures, large artworks and mirrors
• Other heavy or awkward pieces that need extra hands

How we plan a heavy or difficult move

1. You send photos of the item and of the access: stairs, doorways, the balcony and where the truck can park.
2. We work out the method (stairs, rope or crane), the team size and the equipment.
3. We confirm the price and anything you need to arrange, such as notice to your building manager.
4. On the day, the item is padded and strapped, moved, and placed where you want it.

Common questions

Do I need approval from my building for a balcony lift?

Many strata buildings ask for notice before furniture is lifted over a balcony. Check with your building or strata manager. We can give them the details of the job and our public liability insurance.

What do you need to know to quote a rope-access job?

Photos of the item with rough measurements, the floor level, photos of the balcony and of the ground below, and where the truck can park.

Can you move a piano up or down stairs?

Yes. Moving a piano costs $100 on top of our normal rates. Tell us the type of piano and send photos of the stairs, and we'll plan the team and equipment needed.
