Lift (exterior elevator) home relocation service is a modern solution that makes the moving process both faster and safer, especially for families living in high-rise buildings or apartments with narrow staircases. The risk of damage, time loss, and physical strain caused by carrying large furniture up and down stairs is minimized by using an exterior lift system.
As Relocation, we provide lift-assisted home relocation both within Istanbul and intercity, from Istanbul to all 81 provinces of Turkey. With our modern exterior lift systems, experienced operator team, and professional packing approach, we move your belongings safely without ever bringing them into contact with the building’s staircase.
How Our Lift-Assisted Home Relocation Service Works
An exterior lift is a special platform system positioned outside the building that allows your belongings to be lowered or raised directly from window or balcony level to the vehicle or to a different floor. This method eliminates the risk of items getting stuck in stairwells, hitting walls on turns, or damaging door frames. For bulky and heavy items such as wardrobes, sofa sets, appliances, and pianos in particular, lift-assisted relocation offers major advantages in both labor efficiency and item safety.
Building and Floor Assessment
Before the move, our team inspects the building’s location, floor height, window/balcony dimensions, and the area where the lift will be positioned on-site, in order to prepare the most suitable operation plan.
Secure Loading and Unloading
Your belongings are packed with protection against impacts before being placed on the lift platform; they are also secured with additional safety straps on the platform itself to prevent shifting during ascent or descent.
Furniture Disassembly and Assembly
Large furniture such as wardrobes and bedroom sets is disassembled by our expert staff to make it suitable for lift transport, and reassembled again at your new address.
Insured Transport
Upon request, our lift-assisted relocation service is carried out with insurance, keeping your belongings covered throughout the moving process.
When Should You Choose Lift-Assisted Relocation?
- High-Rise Buildings: Homes on the 4th floor and above, where moving via stairs becomes difficult.
- Narrow Staircases and Corridors: Older buildings where large furniture doesn’t fit through the stairwell.
- Bulky and Heavy Items: Pianos, safes, large wardrobes, and other items requiring special handling.
- Intercity Moves: For long-distance relocations, saving time and improving the safety of your belongings.
- Gated Communities and Residences: Buildings where shared-area rules restrict the use of the staircase.
Factors Affecting Istanbul Intercity Lift-Assisted Relocation Prices
Lift-assisted relocation prices vary depending on many factors, including the building’s floor height, the amount of belongings, the moving distance, the conditions for positioning the lift outside the building, packing needs, and the destination city. For this reason, instead of a fixed price, we prepare a clear and transparent quote after a free assessment.
- Number of floors in the building and the height the lift needs to reach
- Total amount and volume of belongings
- Distance for the move — within Istanbul or intercity
- Conditions for positioning the lift outside the building (street width, parking space, etc.)
- Window/balcony dimensions and access suitability
- Furniture disassembly/assembly and special packing needs
- Insurance request
Why Is a Free Assessment Important?
During the assessment, the building’s exterior, floor height, and the area for positioning the lift are inspected on-site; vehicle and staff planning is done based on the amount of belongings. This way, no issues arise on moving day, and the price for Istanbul intercity lift-assisted home relocation is clearly established in advance.
What to Do Before a Lift-Assisted Move
1. Get Approval from Building Management
Obtaining the necessary permission from the building or site management for positioning the lift outside the building prevents time loss on moving day.
2. Share Window and Balcony Dimensions
Providing accurate window and balcony measurements during the assessment makes it easier to position the lift correctly.
3. Keep Your Valuable Documents With You
It’s recommended to keep important documents such as your ID, property deed, and diploma with you rather than loading them onto the moving vehicle.
4. Inform Your Neighbors
Since the street or building entrance may experience temporary congestion while the lift is set up outside the building, it’s helpful to inform your neighbors in advance.
