Gym Equipment Shipping Cost from Southaven, Mississippi to San Jose, California

LTL freight shipping is the most cost-effective option when shipping large exercise machines like treadmills.

Moving an elliptical can cost anywhere from $50 for local help to several hundred dollars for professional movers, depending on distance, disassembly, and if you use specialized fitness movers ($200-$500), general movers ($100-$500), or a junk removal service (starting around $115 for pickup). DIY methods involve truck rentals (e.g., U-Haul, Home Depot) and labor, while professional services handle the heavy lifting, which is safer for stairs.

Use a dolly + ratchet straps and a second strap as a safety tether anchored upstairs (to a banister or sturdy post). Position the dolly at the base of the stairs, treadmill strapped and balanced on the dolly with the weight slightly rearward so it doesn't tip forward unexpectedly.
