Strength Machine
Moving & Installation

In most cases, yes. Strength machines like functional trainers, cable crossovers, and smith machines typically require partial or full disassembly for safe transport. This allows proper weight distribution, protects cable systems from damage, makes navigation through doorways and stairs easier, and prevents structural stress on frames. Our technicians only disassemble what's necessary based on your specific equipment and access requirements.

Typical strength machine moves take 3-6 hours total, including disassembly (1-2 hours depending on complexity), transport preparation (30-45 minutes), loading and unloading (15-30 minutes each), transport time (varies by distance), reassembly (1-3 hours), and testing (15-30 minutes). Multi-station functional trainers and commercial cable systems may require additional time. We prioritize proper handling over speed.

Yes, we regularly move strength machines to and from basements, upper floors, and locations with challenging access. For stair moves, we disassemble equipment into manageable components, use specialized stair-climbing dollies for heavier pieces, deploy teams of 2-4 technicians with proper lifting techniques, protect all surfaces including stairs, walls, and railings, and take precise measurements to ensure clearance through tight spaces.

Cable systems require specialized handling. Our technicians document the original cable routing with photos and detailed notes, label each cable, pulley, and attachment point, protect cables from kinking, fraying, or tangling during transport, ensure proper routing and tension during reassembly, and test all cable movements and resistance throughout the full range of motion. This expertise is a key differentiator from general movers.

Yes, we provide professional assembly and installation for newly purchased strength equipment. Whether you've bought a functional trainer, power rack, smith machine, or cable crossover, we assemble it properly according to manufacturer specifications, ensure correct cable routing and tension, verify safety mechanisms, level the equipment, and provide a walkthrough of proper operation. This is often preferable to retailer assembly due to our specialized expertise.

We carry comprehensive insurance specifically designed for fitness equipment. In the rare event of damage during our service, we handle the claims process directly and work to resolve issues promptly. Our careful handling procedures, specialized equipment, and experienced technicians make damage extremely rare — but you're fully protected throughout the entire process.
