Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

A moving lift, also called a ladder lift or furniture lift, is a lift that is used to lift large, heavy or large numbers of items up or down. Instead of having to walk up and down the stairs endlessly with unmanageable freight, a furniture lift from Lift-express.nl can also be used. This means that all items weighing up to 400 kg and up to the 12th floor (34 meters) can be taken down or up without difficulty with the moving lift and can be taken up again just as easily with the moving lift at the new location if necessary.

At Lift-express.nl you can rent a moving lift at no additional costs. We rent out a moving lift for €89 per hour including VAT, including an experienced and cooperating mover/operator. Our travel expenses reimbursement from Venlo is €0.59 per KM. No unexpected costs, but a clear price agreement. An overview of the rates can be found here

We only rent moving lifts with a cooperating operator/experienced mover so that you do not have to operate the moving lift. No manuals or accidents due to lack of experience, but a truly experienced professional at your side who is familiar with the moving lift and knows what is and what is not possible. Because he has a lot of experience, he builds up quickly and is finished quickly, meaning he is ready in a fraction of the time it would have taken you.

Lift-express.nl operates from North Limburg, which means we can get to your location faster than parties from the west or the Randstad, which logically makes us cheaper because we simply need less time and kilometers to get to you. If you need us in Limburg Brabant or the German border region, then we are the suitable candidate.

This varies and depends on the situation. Because our lift is mounted on a car, it can be done quickly and safely, perhaps even 10 minutes under difficult circumstances. If it is a standard situation, we will be ready in 5 minutes.

Our experience has shown that we usually finish most lift jobs (80%) in one hour.

If it is a move of, for example, a 2-person household, and it fits in a truck (box) of 20m3, we can be ready in 2 hours if there is sufficient help and the items are ready.

If you have any doubts, please call us and we will discuss everything with you so that you are not faced with an unpleasant surprise when the time comes.

The intention is that you are present with enough “volunteers” to load the moving platform, our operator is a cooperating mover but cannot do everything himself in view of the rental time. He operates the elevator and gives instructions, and he also advises how things can best be done. However, if you have no help and are unable to lift it yourself, we will come with extra manpower and take all the work off your hands.

Our moving lift has a load capacity of up to 400KG. This means that there are no items in household goods that we cannot lift.

The moving lift that we rent can lift up to a height of 34 meters, which is approximately 11 floors. Depending on the distance from the elevator to the facade, that is. We may also have to lift far, not high, for example over a deep garden or ditch. If you have any doubts, call us or send a photo of your situation. We will find out and advise you what is best to do.

Our moving lift can be rented by the hour and can be requested via our website or by telephone at: +31 643 710 777. If it is a large move, we will be happy to make you a price proposal. If it takes longer, we will of course reduce the price.

A move is usually done during the day, but it often happens that our help is suddenly necessary. For example, a sofa bought on Saturday afternoon and taken in the trailer does not fit through the stairwell and is in the hall blocking the business. One phone call to us and within a few hours the sofa will be in the living room.

For us, a week has 7 days and as long as there is light we can lift your stuff.

Yes, our ladder lift has a load capacity of 400 kg. It often happens that we have to move pianos. Pianos give many owners sleepless nights. We have a lot of experience with pianos, you provide 2 or 3 assistants and we will arrange for the piano to be lifted in one piece.

There are many names for a pre-round lift, we call it a moving lift. Other names are furniture lift and ladder lift, there is no essential difference.
What is important is whether it is a lift mounted on a vehicle such as ours or a so-called drag lift.

The tow lift is a kind of trailer with the lift installation on it, the disadvantage of this is that the lift can never have the stability compared to a fixed moving lift and that the set-up and dismantling times are significantly longer. This in turn results in the rent being unnecessarily higher.

Our core activity is operating the moving lift, but if you want to hire us for a complete move, we can also assist you. Thanks to our partners, we also have the option to offer complete moving services. You can request a no-obligation quote via the contact form.
