When your furniture is too large, too heavy, or too valuable for standard carriers, Austin Crate & Freight steps in. We crate it in our Austin shop and move it anywhere in the country using specialty freight — no dropped claims, no damaged deliveries.
Standard parcel carriers like UPS and FedEx have weight limits around 150 lbs and dimensional restrictions that exclude most oversized furniture. Standard movers are not equipped for high-value single-piece shipments going through an LTL network. That leaves a gap — and we fill it.
We handle oversized and heavy furniture from the assessment through to final placement. Custom crating protects against the rough handling that large pieces inevitably experience in freight networks.
Our trucks are equipped with liftgates for heavy pieces that cannot be hand-carried. No dock required at pickup or delivery.
All oversized furniture shipments are handled by a two-person crew with proper equipment — dollies, straps, and protective gear.
Large and heavy pieces get reinforced crates with additional internal blocking, corner protection, and base skids for forklift access.
We use freight carriers experienced with high-value oversized goods — not the cheapest carrier, but the right one for your piece.
We have the equipment and crew experience to navigate tight stairwells, elevators, and awkward entry points safely.
All oversized furniture shipments are fully insured with declared value coverage available for high-value pieces.
We build a custom wood crate around the piece in our Austin shop, load it onto a liftgate truck with a two-person crew, and ship via specialty LTL freight with full insurance and tracking.
Yes. We offer free heavy furniture pickup anywhere in Greater Austin. We bring a two-person trained crew and all necessary equipment — you do not need to help lift anything.
