Moving Special Items
Special Items Require Special Handling
Yes, we can! American Red Ball is a full service household goods carrier and we can move just about anything, be it a car, piano, hot tub, pool table, etc.
We utilize professional techniques to protect and move your belongings. Your upholstered furniture will be shrink wrapped to protect it from dust, snags and mars, then it will be pad wrapped for additional protection. Leather furniture will be pad wrapped only, to prevent damage to the leather. We'll use dollies, piano boards and other devices to move your larger items.
Mirror cartons can be customized to fit large pictures and mirrors.
Crates can be specially built to size if needed to protect items such as grandfather clocks, slate tops for 
pool tables, etc. Your American Red Ball agent can advise you about crates and what they would cost.
Third Party Service may be needed for non-moving services. While we have the skill to move items, we do not have specific knowledge of your household items and how they work or are assembled. Some will require special knowledge about electrical or water hook-ups, specific product knowledge, etc. Here are some examples of tasks that need to be completed before the mover arrives. If you are not comfortable performing these tasks, ask your American Red Ball agent for the name of a third party service provider or contract with a company in your area.
- Disconnect appliances from power, gas and water;
- Stabilize/lock down mechanical parts, such as the workings of a grandfather clock;
- Have swing sets, weight sets, trampolines, and other items with moveable parts disassembled and ready to move.
