Our Specialty Moving Services in Central Illinois

Our Central Illinois specialty moving solutions cater to a variety of items that require special care and handling during your relocation. Whether it’s a grand piano, a set of ornate and fragile mirrors, or complex electronic equipment for your business, you can count on our team for smooth, secure transport. Here’s an overview of the common types of specialty items we are equipped to handle.

Custom Crating

Our Central Illinois custom crating service ensures fragile or delicate items have the protection needed during transportation or shipping. Custom crating is also used to give heavy-duty protection to very heavy items. Our specialty movers create custom wood crates to the exact specifications of unique or high-value items at risk of damage in a move. Padding, stands, or molds may be used to cradle and secure the item in place.

Custom crating may be recommended for artwork, sculptures, instruments, unique items, and specialty light fixtures.

Fine Art & Artwork

You can count on the expertise of our trained fine art movers in Central Illinois to protect your artwork at every stage of your move. We understand the unique challenges of moving artwork and art pieces, whether it’s paintings that are sensitive to humidity, temperature, and punctures or sculptures that require meticulous crating and padding.

Federal Companies is the art moving company you can trust with tailored art packing services, custom crating, and archival-quality materials to ensure your art remains pristine during its journey.

Antiques

Transporting delicate antiques and vintage belongings requires a mover with expertise. Our Central Illinois antique movers take immense pride in moving antique furniture, light fixtures, decor, and collectibles with the utmost precision and care. We understand that each piece is unique and often irreplaceable, necessitating a personalized approach with specialized packing and handling.

Our team utilizes high-quality materials, special equipment, and proven techniques to guard against any potential damage during the move, ensuring that each antique remains in its treasured condition. Whether it’s a valuable Victorian-era dresser or a vintage item with sentimental value, our antique moving services give you peace of mind.

Our Central Illinois collectibles movers are trained to use the right packing and crating solutions and equipment to protect your collection.

You can trust Federal Companies to go the extra mile to protect your prized collection.

Grandfather Clocks

Grandfather clocks are not only precise timepieces and beautiful statements in a home, but they are often family heirlooms reflecting personal history and tradition. At Federal Companies, we understand the complexities involved in moving these timeless treasures.

Our careful handling begins with the disassembly process. Pendulums and weights are carefully removed, wrapped, labeled, and packed separately. High-grade packing materials cushion and protect every component of your clock, ensuring its intricate mechanisms are safeguarded throughout transit. At your new home, our team removes packing materials, rehangs the pendulums and weights, and ensures it’s level.

Large & Unique Furniture

When it comes to large and unique furniture pieces, such as custom-built bookshelves or heirloom dining tables, Federal Companies brings a level of care that is unmatched. We’re prepared for the challenges of heavy or large items moving with the specialized equipment and expertise you need.

Treadmills & Home Gym Equipment

Not all movers are equipped or up for the challenge of moving heavy, awkward fitness equipment. Our Central Illinois gym equipment movers can handle everything from ellipticals and rowing machines to treadmills and free weights.

We employ custom-built crates, heavy-duty wrapping materials, straps, and other solutions to secure your equipment, ensuring no damage during the move. Our fitness equipment and treadmill movers will ensure everything arrives in perfect condition to resume your health and fitness journey in your new home.

We build custom crates specifically designed to each item’s dimensions, ensuring a snug fit during transport. Each unit is wrapped and secured to arrive at your destination, ready for your next high score.

Motorcycles

Motorcycle transport should always be handled by a specialized motorcycle shipping company, not a mover accustomed to cars or household goods. We handle motorcycle transportation through Federal Motorcycle Transport, a division of Federal Companies. We have decades of experience transporting all brands of motorcycles as the exclusive motorcycle shipping company of HOG, AMA, and more.
