Weight Machine
Moving & Installation

In most cases, yes. While some compact single-station machines can occasionally be moved intact, most weight machines should be partially or fully disassembled for several important reasons: weight distribution becomes safer and more manageable, reduces risk of structural damage to the frame, makes doorways and staircases easier to navigate, protects cable systems from tangling or damage, and prevents weight stacks from shifting. Our technicians disassemble only what's necessary based on your specific equipment and moving situation.

The total time for weight machine moves typically ranges from 3-6 hours, including disassembly (1-2 hours depending on complexity), transport preparation (30-45 minutes), loading/unloading (15-30 minutes each), transport time (varies by distance), reassembly (1-3 hours), and testing and adjustments (15-30 minutes). Multi-station home gyms and commercial equipment may require additional time. We always aim to be efficient while ensuring proper care and attention to detail.

Yes, we regularly move weight machines to and from basements, upper floors, and locations with stairs. Our specialized equipment and techniques make these challenging moves possible. For stair moves, we typically disassemble the machine into manageable components, use specialized stair-climbing equipment for heavier pieces, implement proper team lifting techniques with 2-3 technicians, protect stair surfaces, walls, and railings, and take precise measurements to ensure clearance through tight spaces.

Cable systems require special attention during weight machine moves. Our technicians carefully document the original cable routing with photos and notes before disassembly, label each cable and pulley component, protect cables from kinking or fraying during transport, ensure proper routing and tension during reassembly, and test all cable functions to verify smooth operation. This expertise is one of the key differences between our service and general movers.

Yes, we provide professional assembly and installation services for newly purchased weight machines. Whether you bought a multi-station home gym, plate-loaded machine, or selectorized equipment, we can assemble it properly, ensure correct cable routing, test all functions, and provide a walkthrough of proper operation. This is often preferable to retailer-provided assembly services due to our specialized expertise with fitness equipment.

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 the issue promptly. Our careful handling procedures, proper equipment, and experienced technicians make damage extremely rare, but you're fully protected throughout the process.
