Hoisting Service

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.

When Hoisting Is Needed

• Difficult Access:
  When stairwells, doorways, or elevators are too small for large furniture.
• High-Rise Apartments:
  Upper-floor moves where interior access isn’t possible.
• Obstacles & Tight Spaces:
  Situations with narrow hallways, tight corners, or limited room around entrances.

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.
