Moving a treadmill desk in Kansas City

A treadmill desk is not a gym deck and it is not a filing cabinet. It is a standing top on a motorized belt. The desk comes off the deck if it can. Glass comes off. We will not guarantee the motor, the console, or a belt that has never been moved.

A plain treadmill is treadmill and elliptical. A desk without a belt is desk and filing cabinet. A walking pad still attached on a walk-up is how hours move. From $160 an hour for two movers and a truck is the house starting point. A third person is often the deck — when you need a third. Two ZIP codes: Get my price.

What comes apart before we tip it

• Unplug it. Photograph the cable layout if you need it back the same way.
• The desktop comes off the deck if the maker meant it to.
• Glass tops come off and ride as glass — glass table tops off.
• Consoles, tablets and remotes go in a bag you keep, not a drawer that will invert on a stair.
• Say the stair, the turns, and the floor. A basement deck is a different job than a ranch.

We pad the frame. We will not rebuild a folding mechanism we did not write. We will not carry a loaded walking pad down glass. Heat on a third-floor walk-up still applies — heat and a third-floor walk-up.

What we will not promise

Electronics and motors fail in ways that have nothing to do with a scratch on a rail. We will not write that the belt will calibrate at the new house. If the unit is too wide for the stair, say so in photos — photos that get you a written price.

Checklist

• Unplug. Remove the glass. Bag the console.
• Send a photo of the stair and the assembled unit.
• Tell us if it has to come apart.
• Have a dest room numbered if two rooms could take it — how to number rooms.
