Top 7 Most Challenging Items to Move

Moving into a new home—whether it’s along the historic streets of Charleston, SC or the scenic coastline of Myrtle Beach—can be an exciting experience. But some belongings can be incredibly difficult to move, especially large or delicate pieces that require more than muscle. Still, you should keep in mind that having a moving day essentials box would make your relocation a lot better.

At LaBarbera Movers, we specialize in handling even the trickiest items with care and precision. Here are the 7 most challenging household items to move, and how our professional movers ensure they arrive at your new home safely and intact.

Pool tables are often a centerpiece of game rooms, but they can weigh up to 1,000 pounds and span 9 feet. Moving one involves:

• Disassembling the frame
• Carefully removing and protecting the felt
• Transporting the heavy slate slabs with precision

At LaBarbera Movers, we offer professional pool table disassembly, transport, and reassembly services—so you’re ready for game night the moment you move in.

A 500+ pound hot tub with electrical and plumbing components? Not something you want to move alone. Relocating a hot tub in Charleston or Myrtle Beach’s humid climate adds even more complexity.

We handle everything from safe disconnection to careful loading and setup at your new address —ensuring it’s ready for a relaxing soak after a long day of unpacking.

Safes come in all sizes, and the larger models can weigh over 1,000 pounds. Improper handling can damage your home or injure someone.

Our professional movers use heavy-duty equipment and safety protocols to move safes securely without damaging flooring or door frames, whether you’re relocating to a downtown condo in Myrtle Beach or a new build in Charleston.

While not the heaviest item, foosball tables are awkward to move because of their shape, rods, and fragile components.

One wrong move and you could be looking at costly repairs. We use custom padding and secure wrapping to safeguard foosball tables during transport, so they arrive ready for your next match.

Pinball machines blend weight (up to 300 lbs) with fragile glass, electronics, and vintage parts. These unique machines deserve special treatment.

LaBarbera Movers provides custom cushioning and stabilizing to keep your pinball machine safe throughout the entire move, no matter how bumpy the ride.

Large desks, especially built-ins or antique pieces, can be time-consuming to disassemble and move. They often can’t fit through standard doorways without careful breakdown.

Our team is skilled in furniture disassembly and reassembly, ensuring your desk gets to your new home in perfect condition—ideal for professionals moving their home office in Charleston or Myrtle Beach.

Mirrors over 60 inches in length are notoriously fragile and expensive to crate. Many homeowners risk it with a picture box and a waiver—but why take the chance?

We offer custom crating options and insurance to protect delicate items like mirrors, art, and marble pieces for safe transit.

Leaving bulky or sentimental items behind during a move can feel like leaving part of your story behind. That’s why  LaBarbera Movers is committed to helping you move everything that matters—safely, securely, and professionally. We have a list of our stress-free moving tips so you should check it!
