Large tank movers, any recommendations?

[Dearth]

I personally have never had to move a large tank but have heard the stories of others. There are movers out there that may move your tank but you would have to call and I would only get reputable movers as many local movers are under equipped and may not be insured or insurable. As with anything Any professional movers you use make sure that they are fully insurable and have the knowledge and equipment to do a move which is another reason I shy away from local companies on stuff like this.

Other than brute force and strength that is the only thing I can help with.

Call Piano moving companies. That's who I got to move my 270 down a flight of stairs.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Down a flight of stairs... giving me anxiety just imagining that!

Two years later I'm revisiting this!
It is almost time.

Anyone do any big tank moves in the last two years?
How did you do it?

I will look into some piano movers again.
I remember I never got any callbacks from my messages when I called 2 years ago lol.

Was covid during the time too. Hopefully you'll get proper call backs now. Money talks right?

You may want to make it easy and put together photos and expected problems for them, so they can quote easily.

Thanks for the input Guy. Good points. I will provide as much details as I can to the potential movers.

So, the transporters will no longer do oversized deliveries to the premise.
So this will need to be picked up by the movers from the depot in Surrey and then brought to my house in Burnaby.
