WELLINGTON POOL TABLE MOVERS

Dismantling, Relocating, and Reassembling a Slate Pool Table Typical Duration: Approximately 6 hours with 3 movers. Note that the actual time may vary depending on the specific table and its location.

Relocating snooker, billiard, and pool tables presents significant challenges due to their considerable size and weight, combined with their fragility. Incorrect transportation can risk damage, particularly to the slate—the dense material that contributes both to the quality and the delicate nature of these tables.

At Mr Shifter, we specialise in the relocation of heavy furniture and pool tables. Our team of professional Moveologists boasts over 150 successful pool table relocations, in collaboration with our sister company in Auckland. If you require pool table moving services in Wellington, we are here to assist.

CAN A SLATE  POOL TABLE BE MOVED INTACT?

  • It is rarely advisable or possible to transport a slate pool table without first dismantling it. The decision to dismantle depends on factors such as size, weight, and construction of the table. At Mr Shifter, we do not relocate slate pool tables without disassembling them due to the risks involved.

MDF POOL TABLES

  • Weight: Typically between 80-100kg.
  • Disassembly Required: Often, MDF pool tables can be moved without disassembly due to their lighter weight.

LARGE/SLATE POOL TABLES

  • For non-MDF (slate) pool tables, we strongly recommend contacting us for relocation services.
  • Weight: Home-use models usually weigh between 210kg and 250kg. The inclusion of a slate bed significantly increases both weight and fragility.
  • Disassembly Required: Transporting these heavier, slate-bed pool tables generally necessitates disassembly. They are often composed of multiple slate sections requiring specialised equipment for safe relocation.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR DIY POOL TABLE MOVES

  • We advise against dragging or pushing pool tables as this can severely damage the leg fittings. Always lift the table to move it. Slate pool tables, which feature multiple slate sections, require expert handling and specialised tools. We strongly discourage attempting to move these tables on your own.

For safety and security, Mr Shifter does not support the idea of separating the top from the base to manoeuvre the table onto trucks or through buildings. If you need professional assistance with your pool table in Wellington, please contact Mr Shifter to ensure it is handled with the utmost care and expertise.
