The three lifts
Standard furniture lift. The workhorse. A wide platform and a capacity of 400 kg, suitable for almost anything in your home. It measures 5.50 by 1.70 by 3.20 metres and the ladder reaches 27 metres, up to the eighth floor.
Trailer lift. For narrow streets and places a standard lift cannot reach. Compact and easy to manoeuvre, 4 by 0.87 by 1.5 metres, capacity 250 kg, reaching 18 metres, up to the fourth floor.
GEDA lift. If you need a lift that fits through a standard doorway and can reach your back garden, this is the one. Capacity 250 kg, ladder up to 20 metres, third or fourth floor.
If one lift runs into its limits, there is almost always another that can do the job. We look in advance at the height your floor calls for.
When a moving lift helps
If the sofa will not go up the stairs and the wardrobe will not fit through the door, we lift your belongings in through the window or over the balcony.
Using a lift reduces the risk of damage to your things and speeds the move up, particularly where the stairs are narrow or the passage is tight. In a high-rise building it also saves a great many trips in a small passenger lift or up the stairwell.
Which lift you need, and where it stands
Which lift suits your move is something we work out together. Over the phone we go through your situation and look at the map with you: the facade, the street and the room for the lift.
A furniture lift needs at least one and a half parking spaces. That is the space you keep free, or that you report to the municipality. Many municipalities do not ask for a permit for the placing itself, but there are exceptions. Call or message us and we will find out what applies in yours.
How it works
1. Get in touch. It starts with a phone call, a message or the form on this page. We answer your questions and help you choose which lift you need.
2. What you need and where it goes. Together we decide which type of lift fits and where it will stand: how the location can be reached, whether there is room for the lift, and which route your belongings take to get inside. We do that on the phone, with the map in front of us.
3. Planning. We agree a date and a time that suits you, at short notice as well. Before the lift arrives, put out what has to go, so the lift is not left waiting.
4. On the day. Our team comes to you with the lift. We take care of everything, from setting the lift up to carrying your belongings inside. Afterwards we would like to hear how it went.
What it costs
You rent the lift by the hour, and the operator who works it is included. The first hour costs 148 euros, including the call-out. Every hour after that costs 90 euros. The clock only starts running when we arrive, ready to begin. If you need a lift urgently the same standard rate applies.
The current rate is kept on our Dutch page, verhuislift huren.
At short notice, and when plans change
If you need a lift urgently, say so when you call. We move things around in the planning and are often there within an hour, at most two, for the same standard price. In Rotterdam, Utrecht, The Hague and Amsterdam there is usually a lift nearby; other places are a phone call away.
Moves are unpredictable, so if your date or time changes we move with it, at the last moment as well, and we do not charge a cancellation fee.
Questions we get
How do I book a moving lift?
Call, send a message or fill in the request form. We answer your questions, decide with you which type of lift fits, and confirm the date and the time slot.
Is the operator included?
Yes. Every moving lift is worked by a professional operator; we operate our lifts ourselves. The operator stays with the lift for as long as things are being lifted.
How are my belongings protected?
Our lifts come with protective material such as moving blankets as standard, and every job is insured as standard. What that covers is set out in our terms and conditions.
