I'm planning a local move for the end of the month, and I'm a bit stuck on how to handle my garage and basement setup. I have a pretty extensive home gym with a heavy squat rack, a couple of heavy Olympic barbells, and several hundred pounds of iron weight plates. On top of that, my garage has a massive steel toolbox and some heavy bench tools. I’m worried that standard residential movers will turn up, look at the sheer weight of the iron and steel, and tell me they can't lift it or that it requires a specialized industrial team. Has anyone successfully moved a home gym or heavy workshop gear in Calgary? Do regular crews handle these heavy lifting jobs?
