"Jose and his 2 man team from Rocket Services showed up yesterday right on time and after a through walk through with myself began to unload my two full Pods. Their respectful and efficient unloading of all of my personal items was something to behold and I was very pleased with the overall experience! I would highly recommend Rocket Services to my family and friends as my new moving resource for the Front Range from now on..."

"Jose and his crew did an amazing job. They were very professional and treated our items and home with respect. They loaded our pod efficiently and ensured all of our furniture was protected and would not move around during transit. I would highly recommend them for anyone's moving needs. We were grateful for their hard work and impressed with the professionalism they showed."

How much does it cost to move a heavy appliance or gym machine?
Rocket Services helpers start at $149/hr for two with a 2-hour minimum. Items over 300 lb need at least 3 helpers, or 4 if there are stairs, and stairs add $20 per flight after the first. Share the item and weight when you book so the quote includes everything.
How many helpers do I need for a heavy item?
Two helpers handle most refrigerators and washers. Very heavy gym machines, oversized furniture or items going up several flights may need three or four. The office matches the crew to the weight and path when you share the details.
Can your helpers take apart gym equipment before loading it?
Crews can remove loose plates and simple attachments and take apart equipment when practical. For complex machines, check the manual and call to confirm. Rocket Services also offers exercise equipment assembly if you want it rebuilt at the new place.
Is there anything too heavy for Rocket Services helpers?
Yes. Rocket Services handles items up to 400 lb, and heavier pieces are outside the scope. Share details and call (720) 336-1661 to confirm before booking. Items over 300 lb need at least 3 helpers, or 4 if there are stairs, and some jobs may need a larger crew.
