Renting a removal lift

If you need a removal lift to transport your belongings from the ground to an upper floor or vice versa, you can rent it from a removal company or from some specialized companies.

Be aware that renting this equipment may be very expensive; so take into account if you really need it.
Prices depend on the height you need, however up to 5th or 6th floor it will be about 200 euros for half a day and 300 euros for all day; in half a day you can move a lot of material if the furniture is already disassembled. The problem is that in many cases, if you perform the removal by yourself, you will disassemble the furniture step by step.

Usually renting a removal lift is convenient if you have:

* A lot of items to move: if you have many belongings besides the furniture, it would be better to arrange them in order so as to let them down quicker. You can transport the remaining objects downstairs at another time.
* Difficult access to the stairs: in some old buildings, the transportation of items by stairs is quite difficult and renting a removal lift is always good value.
* Furniture and belongings ready to be transported; if furniture and belongings are all disassembled and ready to be transported, renting a removal lift is good value and you will save time and hard work.
