Specialty Moving for the Things That Can’t Be Replaced

Pianos, fine art, antiques, electronics, trade-show exhibits and vehicles — moved with the right equipment, materials and hands.

High-value & unusual items

The Right Crew, Equipment and Crate for Every Item

Some pieces need more than a moving blanket. Allegheny Valley Transfer’s specialty crews move grand pianos down Pittsburgh row-house stairs, crate museum-quality art, transport servers with anti-static packing and shock indicators, and deliver trade-show exhibits to the convention floor on time.

Every specialty move is scoped in your survey so the equipment, materials and crew size are right before moving day.
