Pool Table Movers in Orlando, Florida: What You Need to Know

Moving a pool table is not the same as moving an ordinary piece of furniture. Pool tables can be extremely heavy, difficult to maneuver, and challenging to transport without the appropriate equipment and planning.

Whether you're moving a pool table to a new home, another room, a storage facility, or a different property, professional moving assistance can make the process easier to plan.

Why Is a Pool Table Difficult to Move?

Pool tables can be heavy and awkward to handle.

Depending on the table, moving it may involve:

Significant weight
Large dimensions
Tight doorways
Narrow hallways
Stairs
Sharp turns
Uneven surfaces
Long distances between the property and moving truck

A pool table can also have components that need to be carefully handled during disassembly, transportation, and reassembly.

Can Movers Move a Pool Table?

Professional movers may be able to move a pool table depending on its size, construction, condition, and the access available at both locations.

When requesting an estimate, provide information about:

Table size
Table type
Current location
Destination
Stairs
Doorways
Elevators
Distance to the truck
Whether disassembly is required

Photos of the pool table and access areas can also help the moving company understand the job.

Does a Pool Table Need to Be Disassembled?

Some pool tables may need to be partially or completely disassembled before they can be moved safely.

The amount of disassembly depends on the construction of the table.

Components can include:

Rails
Pockets
Felt
Playing surface
Frame
Legs

If disassembly or reassembly is required, ask the moving company whether those services are included.

Can a Pool Table Be Moved Upstairs?

A pool table may need to be moved up or down stairs depending on the location.

Before scheduling the move, tell the mover about:

Number of stairs
Stairway width
Turns
Landings
Railings
Doorways
Ceiling clearance

A difficult stairway can substantially change the requirements of the move.

Can Movers Move a Pool Table Through a Narrow Doorway?

Access is one of the most important considerations when moving large recreational equipment.

Before the move, measure:

Pool table dimensions
Doorway width
Hallway width
Stairway dimensions
Turning areas

Don't assume that an item that fits in a room will automatically fit through the doorway.

If you're uncertain, provide photographs and measurements to the moving company before the moving date.

How Do Movers Protect a Pool Table?

A pool table can contain delicate components that should be protected during handling and transportation.

Movers may use appropriate protective materials and equipment depending on the table and the move.

Protection may need to account for:

The table
Rails
Playing surface
Legs
Felt
Walls
Doorways
Floors
The moving truck

Ask your moving company how they intend to protect the table and surrounding property.

Can You Move a Pool Table to Storage?

A pool table can potentially be transported to a storage facility, but you should confirm that the storage location can accommodate it.

Before moving the table into storage, check:

Storage-unit dimensions
Door dimensions
Facility access
Elevator availability
Loading area
Facility hours
Appointment requirements

If the table will remain in storage for an extended period, ask the storage facility about its recommendations for storing the components.

Can Movers Move a Pool Table to Another Room?

Moving a pool table doesn't always mean transporting it to another property.

You may need to move a table:

From one room to another
From an upstairs room downstairs
Into a garage
Out of a garage
Into a game room
Into storage

Even a short-distance move can be difficult if the table is heavy or the route is complicated.

Can I Move a Pool Table Myself?

It may be tempting to move a pool table with friends or family, especially when the destination is nearby.

However, the combination of weight, size, stairs, doorways, and disassembly requirements can make a pool table difficult to handle.

Before attempting the move yourself, consider the equipment and manpower required and whether the route presents any hazards.

How Much Does It Cost to Move a Pool Table in Orlando?

There isn't one standard price for every pool table move.

The cost can depend on:

Pool table size
Construction
Weight
Distance
Number of movers
Stairs
Doorways
Elevators
Disassembly
Reassembly
Access conditions

A moving company will need information about the specific table and locations to provide an estimate.

What Should I Tell a Moving Company Before Booking?

The more information you provide, the easier it is for the moving company to plan the job.

Tell them:

What type of pool table you have

Include the size and any identifying information you know.

Where it is located

Mention the room, floor, and property type.

Where it is going

Provide the destination and any important access information.

Whether there are stairs

Include stairs at both the pickup and destination.

Whether there are narrow doorways

Mention any areas that could make maneuvering difficult.

Whether disassembly is required

If you know the table needs to be disassembled, mention it when requesting your estimate.

Whether you need storage

Tell the mover if the pool table is going into or coming out of storage.
