Mine is a fairly heavy-duty one & it needs to go from the second floor to the basement. I want pros who are not going to damage my walls. I figured I could call Sports Authority (where I purchased it originally) & see how they subcontract with, but I thought I'd toss it out here first. Thanks!   Dave Ross Supporter Username: Dave Post Number: 6083 Registered: 4-1998 Posted on Wednesday, January 7, 2004 - 6:25 pm:        My gut feeling is that a piano mover could do it well.   greenetree Supporter Username: Greenetree Post Number: 1947 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Thursday, January 8, 2004 - 9:55 am:        Hmm- thanks for the idea! Hadn't thought of that. Anyone know any piano movers?   jro Citizen Username: Jro Post Number: 51 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Thursday, January 8, 2004 - 10:42 am:        I need to have a number of large items moved as well. I've called around and nobody will return my call. I spoke to one company which charges a $125/hour with a 4 hour minimum!

A little while back they had a service to disassemble and move and reassemble equipment I recall it being kind of pricey.

Don't have number, but I've seen their advertisements in local papers. They had no problems with this limited job.   bobk Supporter Username: Bobk Post Number: 4234 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Thursday, January 8, 2004 - 2:58 pm:        The other solution is to buy a keg and put it in the basement and then invite all your friends over with instructions the only way to get to the keg is by moving the treadmill down to the basement.
