You have a rental van or your own transporter and mainly need strong hands? Our moving helpers carry, load and take furniture apart and put it back together – by the hour and without a moving van.
In short
You book only the people: we come with as many helpers as you need and charge by the hour. You arrange the vehicle and the drive yourself. If that is too much, we take on the whole move with our vehicle.
What our helpers do
- Loading a rental van or your own transporter and unloading it at the destination
- Carrying heavy single items: wardrobe, sofa, washing machine, fridge
- Moving furniture within the building – from the cellar to the ground floor, from one flat to another
- Taking furniture apart and reassembling it (furniture assembly)
- Packing and labelling boxes (packing service)
- Carrying items to the vehicle during a clearance
What moving helpers cost
Moving helpers without a vehicle cost CHF 95 per person per hour (incl. VAT). We charge a minimum of 3 hours per job – with two helpers, for example, CHF 570. There is no vehicle flat fee, because we come without a moving van.
We charge the time on site. Short breaks count as working time, the lunch break does not. You can pay cash, by TWINT or by invoice (payment).
Book helpers or the whole move?
| Your situation | Best fit |
|---|---|
| You have a vehicle, the distance is short and you drive yourself | Moving helpers |
| Just a few heavy items or rearranging within the building | Moving helpers |
| No vehicle, a long distance or little time | Move with our vehicle and team |
| Fragile items, art, piano | Transport by us |
With helpers you drive yourself: you are responsible for transport in your own or a rented vehicle, not our transport insurance. We are liable by law for damage our helpers cause while carrying.

Frequently asked questions
Can I book moving helpers for two hours?
Short jobs are possible, but the minimum is charged: CHF 95 per person per hour (incl. VAT), at least 3 hours per job. Plan generously – often a cellar or attic is added.
How many helpers do I need?
For a 1- to 2-room flat two helpers are usually enough, from three rooms three to four make sense – just like our moving teams. Without a lift or with long carrying distances, rather one more.
Can I rent moving blankets?
No, we sell moving blankets, we do not rent them out. Order boxes and film online, blankets on request.
Who is liable if something breaks?
We are liable by law for damage our helpers cause. If you drive yourself, transport is your responsibility – our transport insurance covers moves we drive with our vehicle.
How do I pay?
Cash or TWINT right after the job, or by invoice.
