How Our Team Handles Tight Stairwells, Small Elevators, and Narrow Hallways

Moving in Los Angeles often means dealing with compact apartment buildings, historic homes, or condos with tiny elevators and tricky hallways. At ShipEx LA, we specialize in navigating these tight spaces with precision, planning, and professionalism.

Here’s how we get the job done—without damage, delays, or drama.

🪜 Pre-Move Planning & Measurement

We don’t show up guessing. Before your move, we ask the right questions and—if needed—conduct a pre-move visit to assess:

Stairwell width
Hallway turns
Elevator dimensions
Entryway clearances

This helps us plan what tools and techniques to bring.
