Hoisting Service
Safe lifting of large or heavy items through windows or balconies when stairs or elevators aren’t an option.
Safe & Professional Hoisting Services
Furniture hoisting is a specialized service used when large or heavy items cannot fit through staircases, elevators, or doorways. In urban environments — especially around Boston — tight spaces and limited access often make traditional moving methods impossible.
Lofty Moving & Storage offers expert hoisting services to safely lift items such as sofas, beds, artwork, and oversized furniture through windows, balconies, or exterior openings using proper equipment and trained professionals.

How Our Hoisting Process Works
Step 1: On-Site Assessment
We evaluate the building layout, window or balcony access, and determine the safest hoisting approach.
Step 2: Equipped for Every Scenario
We bring the necessary equipment — hoisting straps, ropes, pulleys, or a crane if required.
Step 3: Safe Lifting & Maneuvering
Our trained movers lift, guide, and maneuver your furniture through the designated opening with maximum care and precision.
