Pool Table Removalist
Pool tables should only be moved by professional removalists. Here's why...
Pool tables are very large, very heavy, & very fragile - all at the same time.
Quality pool tables are made of slate, which makes them not only heavy but also very fragile & prone to damage if transported incorrectly. We specialise in pool table & heavy furniture removals. Here's what you need to know about getting your pool table moved with Austate.
Can you move a pool table without taking it apart?
Whether or not you can get away with not taking your pool table apart for transportation depends on the size, weight and construction of the table.
MDF pool tables
MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard) pool tables are the smallest home-use pool tables, usually purchased as they're more affordable.
How heavy is this pool table?
MDF tables weigh in around 80-100kg.
Is Disassembly required?
MDF's are one of the lightest pool tables around and can usually be moved without disassembly.
Can I store an MDF pool table?
MDF is susceptible to moisture, so you'll need to ensure any storage options take this into consideration to avoid warping.
Large / slate bed pool tables
If you have a pool table other than an MDF pool table, we'd recommend you get in touch with us to move your table.
How heavy is this pool table?
Larger home-use pool tables usually weigh between 210kg and 250kg, depending on their construction. They usually have a slate bed playing surface, which increases the weight and fragility of the table.
Is Disassembly required?
Heavier slate bed pool tables will usually require disassembly for transportation. Tables this size are usually made up of multiple slate sections that definitely require disassembly and can’t be moved without specialist equipment and tools.
Thinking of moving a pool table yourself?
Pool tables shouldn’t be dragged or pushed. This can cause major damage to the pool table leg fittings. Always lift the table at all times.
Pool tables that have several sections of slate require specialist tools and expert handling. We don’t recommend you try to move this type of table yourself.
Can a pool table be moved upstairs?
In most cases, your pool table should be able to be installed upstairs or downstairs. It will most probably have to be dismantled to do so, though.
How our pool table removalists disassemble your table
Here's what needs to be disassembled for your pool table to be moved
What you need to supply to get an accurate quote
Give us as much information as you can about your pool table and where it is to be moved to.
Pre-plan where you’re moving your pool table to
Check out the flooring of the room you’re thinking of relocating the table to. This is especially important for heavier pool tables. Some flooring, such as timber floors or slate tiles, may not be suitable due to the weight of your pool table.
Measure your pool table
Supply your pool table's dimensions and specify what type of table it is. If you have the information, supply the weight and construction as well.
Take measurements for the access route to get the pool table in
Check with our pool removalist team that the place where you’re thinking of moving the table to will be accessible. Eg, Measure the width of hallways, staircases and doorways (inside the door jam please). Let us know of any sharp turns in corridors, any stairs, etc.
Show us the way
If you can supply it, provide floor plans or take photos or video of the route the pool table has to take to get it to its new location.
