A move is never just a change of location. It's always about what goes with you: memories, favorite items, things of great personal or material value. It becomes particularly challenging when paintings, sculptures, pianos, bicycles or other valuable (designer) items need to be moved safely to their new home.
In such cases, it's not about quantity, but class - and the right preparation. Because standard packaging or normal removal helpers quickly reach their limits here. In this article, we show you how Intermove makes the safe transportation of special items possible - with experience, special technology and a great deal of sensitivity.
A well-wrapped dining table is nothing to worry about. But what about an oil painting on canvas? A delicate bronze sculpture? Or a grand piano that not only weighs tons but is also extremely sensitive to impact?
Moving goods like these is about more than just furniture, it's about investments, heirlooms or unique artistic pieces. This is precisely why a professional approach is required: suitable materials, experience in handling and transportation solutions that are designed for safety and stability.
Works of art in particular need to be individually secured. Every shape, every surface and every material requires different packaging techniques. Our teams work with acid-free protective materials, custom-fit wooden crates, impact protection and, if necessary, even climate-controlled modules.
Paintings, photographs and framed art are packed individually, sometimes supplemented with special foams or tubular insulation and labeled precisely. This allows everything to be loaded systematically, without friction, pressure or scratches.
We can also place large sculptures or installations in custom-made crates or protective frames for safe transportation on request. Each object is assessed and treated individually, never with standard solutions. Because we at Intermove stand for service that also covers "the last mile". Only in this way can your move run 100% smoothly.
A piano is not a piece of furniture like any other. Its weight alone - often 250 to 500 kilos - requires special measures. But the mechanics inside are also sensitive. Even the slightest vibrations or incorrect lever techniques can cause damage.
Intermove therefore uses special belts, air suspension in the vehicle, furniture lifts for narrow stairwells or old buildings and, if required, lifting platforms. Our employees are trained, carry systematically and secure your instrument at every stage.
Before transportation, we also check whether dismantling is necessary, which packaging is suitable and how the instrument will be set up at its destination. And if you have a particularly valuable piece, you can of course also take out suitable insurance.
Valuable objects not only need protection - they also need legal security. That's why we document the condition and packaging of each individual item on request with photos, logs or in cooperation with insurers.
If you have works of art transported, it makes sense to be able to prove the insurance value, for example by means of an expert opinion or proof of purchase. This will help in the event of a claim and ensure smooth processing.
With Intermove, you are doubly safe: our standard insurance already covers many things; additional art insurance or special cover is possible at any time.
We know that a valuable item is not just a "bulky item". That's why we have developed our own special solutions - including customized transport boxes that can be used multiple times, are easy to dismantle and are environmentally friendly.
If you wish, we can accompany your entire move individually: from the on-site appointment to the planning to the perfect packing. And we also take care of the things that are often forgotten: Import conditions, climatic requirements, customs formalities - this is particularly important for international transportation.
With partners such as Petmove, we also cover sensitive animal transportation. And with our "last mile" service, we even help with settling in at the new location.
Moving is not just a question of logistics, but also of trust. If you have special items, you want to be sure that they arrive safely. Intact, protected and with the care they deserve.
At Intermove, we understand what is important: we offer expertise for special requirements, materials of the highest quality and a way of working that combines respect and professionalism.
Whether it's art, a piano or a collector's item: we make sure that your valuables arrive safely. Talk to us and find out what a quality move looks like.
