Trust Wheaton to Move Your Specialty Items Safely
Specialty Moving Services
It’s one thing to pack clothes and towels for a move. It’s another to pack china, glassware, instruments and other fragile items. With Wheaton, you can rest easy knowing our movers will carefully pack and deliver your most delicate belongings. Whether you need to move your car, your furniture or something else entirely, we can handle the heavy lifting. Plus, we offer a range of coverage options with our specialty moving services to ensure your items are protected against the unexpected.
Specialty Moves: Relocating Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment
Wheaton partners with the best of the best—ELS Essential FF&E Project Management—to provide the relocation of furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E). ELS handles everything from fragile china cabinets to light fixtures to delicate upholstery. In addition to moving services, they provide professional warehousing and distribution facilities, too.
Wheaton Car Relocation Services
It’s common to need help moving an automobile, especially over the course of a long interstate move. At Wheaton, we’ll make sure your vehicle arrives safely at your destination. We offer an in-van service as well as the use of a third-party carrier. If you choose in-van service, your vehicle will be transported on our moving truck along with the rest of your goods. Your Wheaton agent can advise you about which of our options best fit your needs and budget. Please note that there may be a charge for choosing to use a third-party automobile carrier.
Wheaton Appliance Moving Services
Items like pool tables and appliances aren’t just heavy, they’re also delicate. You don’t want them shoved or jostled onto a truck by someone who doesn’t appreciate the care they require. Wheaton’s air-ride trailers are equipped with furniture pads, straps, decking materials and walk boards to ensure items are protected and cared for during your move.
If you’re moving major appliances (freezers, stoves, etc.), they must be properly disconnected prior to the arrival of the mover. Authorized service firms can disconnect and prepare appliances for transport. Please be sure that refrigerators and freezers are defrosted, cleaned and dry before the movers arrive. Your local Wheaton agent can help facilitate these services.
Piano Moving Professionals You Can Count On
Pianos are heavy and cumbersome, but they’re also delicate. It’s difficult to navigate a piano through living spaces without bumping against walls and floors. All that bumping could seriously damage the instrument. Professionals help make sure your piano isn’t damaged and doesn’t harm anything else during your move. Your Wheaton agent is proud to offer expert piano moving services. We arrive quickly, make a plan for moving your piano safely and get it where it’s going without missing a beat.
Our team has experience relocating:
- Vertical pianos
- Console pianos
- Upright pianos
- Baby grand pianos
- Full-size grand pianos

Frequently Asked Questions
Start by looking for a nationally recognized specialty moving company like Wheaton World Wide. Wheaton has agents all over the country who are experienced in handling specialty moves. If you have cumbersome furniture, instruments or other large items that need to be moved, find an agent in your area to get started.
Specialty moving services are required when the items you need moved are difficult to move—maybe they have large dimensions, are of high value or have unique care instructions. Examples of these items are pianos, pool tables, antiques, fine art, vehicles, large tech products, appliances and more. These services go beyond standard residential moves to ensure each item arrives safely and securely.
Typically, yes. Specialty moving services require additional labor, equipment and care. At Wheaton, we provide upfront estimates with no surprises, so you understand the investment involved in protecting your valuable items.
Absolutely! As a full-service specialty moving company, Wheaton offers vehicle relocation services for safety and convenience. Whether you’re moving cross-country or just across state lines, we can arrange to relocate your car along with your household goods.
Yes. If you’re not moving your entire home but need help with large or heavy furniture, Wheaton offers furniture-only relocation services. Whether it’s a single piece or an entire room, we can move it with care.
We prepare, securely load and safely deliver items like refrigerators, washers, dryers and ranges, treating your appliances with care. We recommend disconnecting and prepping appliances before the move, but we can coordinate professional services if needed.
First, Wheaton’s team looks at factors like what kind of piano you have and where it’s located inside your home to determine the best route for removing it. Once we have our plan, we’ll prepare the piano, disassembling as necessary and securing the rest using padded tarps, straps and other protective material. We’ll also lay walkboards on your floors and pads on your walls to prevent jostling damage.
Whenever possible, the team moves the piano by strapping it onto a dolly to minimize the possibility of dropping it. When we’ve reached the moving vehicle, we’ll strap the piano down and insulate it to prevent other items from bumping it during transportation. Then, we arrive at your destination and repeat the loading steps in reverse to place your piano in your new space. Moving a piano safely requires an experienced team to coordinate every step of the way—Wheaton is that team.
At Wheaton, we prioritize a compassionate approach, customized moving plans and attention to detail. Our goal is to ensure your specialty items are moved with the same care you’d expect for your most treasured possessions.
