Moving lift The Hague: when do you need one?
Not every home in The Hague lends itself to moving via the stairs. During the home visit we look at the staircase, the turn on the landing and the dimensions of your largest pieces of furniture. We bring in a moving lift when:
We set the lift up against the façade. The platform carries boxes and furniture up or down through a window or balcony, while our team stands ready upstairs and downstairs. That way banisters, walls and your belongings stay intact.
- your walk-up apartment has no lift and the stairwell is tight
- the staircase is narrow, steep or winding
- heavy or large items are above the first floor, such as wardrobes, sofas or a washing machine
- the balcony or a window is the only way in or out
From request to moving day
You request a quote via the form or call us on 070 - 225 0263. We will contact you within 24 hours. After that we visit you at home with no obligation, or we do a video walkthrough of your home.
During that home visit we can see straight away whether a moving lift is needed and where it will stand in the street. You receive one fixed price, with the lift and the operator included. No billing by the hour and no surprises afterwards.
On moving day our team is at your door on time with the truck, materials and the lift. Where the stairwell will not cooperate, the moving lift is up within fifteen minutes. We are only finished once everything is in its place.
Walk-ups, upstairs apartments and narrow streets
The Hague is a city of walk-ups and upstairs apartments. We know the cramped portiek entrances of Laak and Moerwijk inside and out, just like the narrow, steep staircases of the townhouses in the Statenkwartier and the Archipelbuurt. An upstairs apartment above a shop in the city centre often has only a steep staircase behind a narrow front door.
That is exactly where the lift makes the difference: your belongings go straight down through the street-facing window. In the narrow streets of the city centre, around the Binnenhof, the Plein and the Lange Voorhout, this requires a temporary parking ban or exemption. We apply to the municipality for this on your behalf, so the lift can simply stand outside your door on moving day.
What you get with our moving lift
If the home visit shows that the lift is needed, it is not an extra item on the invoice but part of your fixed price. The same team that carries your furniture and loads the truck sets up and operates the lift; you have one dedicated point of contact. Your belongings are insured throughout the entire move, from the first box on the platform to the last one at your new address.
Would you rather move yourself but skip the stairs? Then you can also hire the moving lift from us on its own, always operated by one of our people. That way the lift stands safely against the façade and your belongings go up or down in a controlled way.
