Different names are used for equipment that moves furniture from outside a building. This service concerns lifting materials. We determine the suitable machine and configuration during the assessment; these names do not mean that all types of equipment are interchangeable.
The service described is for materials. It does not provide passenger baskets, access platforms for working at height or mobile cranes. Reach and load capacity cannot be inferred from the service name.
Also for windows, terraces and business premises
We can assess requests involving windows and frames, building-services components, plants, planters and furniture for hotels, offices or shops. Always specify weight, dimensions and condition. Feasibility depends on equipment and access, not simply the type of item.
How we assess your request
- Describe the items, floor and work address.
- If available, add photographs of the façade and the positioning area.
- We check suitability and whether further information or an on-site survey is needed.
- We agree the work, team, date and price before confirmation.
How much does furniture lift hire in Milan cost?
To prepare a quote, we need the location, load details, estimated time and tasks required. The price should identify the included personnel, any transport, duration and permit arrangements. An enquiry does not confirm a booking or establish a final price.
Space and permits
Tell us whether the lift would be positioned on the street or on private property. See our information on temporary use of public space in Milan e i forms available in our Moving tools section. Applicable procedures will be checked for the location and the work.
Questions before requesting a quote
Can I request a lift for just one sofa?
Yes. You can enquire about a single item. We need its dimensions and information about access to the floor.
How many floors can it reach?
This depends on the machine, distance from the façade and positioning conditions. Reach must be confirmed after assessment; one general capacity does not apply to every job.
Are staff on the upper floors included?
The quote will specify the team and included tasks. Tell us if you also need help with loading and unloading.
Are photographs required?
No. You can submit an enquiry without photographs, although we may need further information to assess feasibility.
