Moving lift operating at an Amsterdam canal house

Amsterdam stairs
were not built for sofas.

You just landed your dream job in Amsterdam and found an apartment on the Herengracht. Beautiful, historic, but the narrow staircase is from 1650 and barely fits a person sideways. Your PAX wardrobe panels, the California king mattress, and the Peloton bike need to go up 3 floors. Through the window, with a furniture lift. For expat moving in Amsterdam, this is the reality: Dutch canal houses were not designed for modern furniture. Whether you are relocating to the Jordaan, De Pijp, Oud-West, or the center of the grachtengordel, our ladder lift carries your belongings straight inside via the facade. Looking for a ladder lift rental in Amsterdam or a furniture lift rental near you? Our external elevator service includes a certified operator, delivery, and full insurance.

Amsterdam Lift Hire Questions

Yes. Our lifts reach up to the 8th floor (24 metres). Most canal houses in Amsterdam are 3 to 5 storeys, which our standard and professional lifts handle with ease. The lift platform goes directly to your window, bypassing the narrow 17th-century staircases entirely.

In most cases, yes. Amsterdam municipality (Gemeente Amsterdam) requires an 'objectvergunning' when the lift is placed on a public road or pavement. We guide you through the application process and can submit it on your behalf. Apply at least 8 working days before your move date.

Our Express package is available within 24 hours, seven days a week. For same-day requests, call us directly at 020 225 0045 and we will do our best to accommodate you. Availability depends on our schedule, but we often have a slot open.

Almost anything that fits on the platform: sofas, wardrobes, mattresses, washing machines, pianos, gym equipment, artwork, and boxes. Our standard lift carries up to 400 kg per trip, and the professional lift handles 600 kg. If you are unsure about a specific item, call us and we will advise you.

We accept iDEAL, bank transfer, credit card (Visa, Mastercard), and PIN (debit card on location). You receive a clear invoice with no hidden fees. Payment is due after the job is completed.

In the canal belt area, the lift is typically positioned on the quay (kade) directly in front of your building. For narrower streets in the Jordaan or Centrum, we can set up on the pavement or road. You need an objectvergunning from Gemeente Amsterdam to reserve the space. We handle the application process for you.

Prices start at 149 euros per hour for our Standard Lift (up to 4th floor). The Professional Lift for taller canal houses costs 189 euros per hour, and the Express Lift with 24-hour availability starts at 219 euros per hour. All prices include the operator, delivery within Amsterdam, setup, and full insurance. No hidden surcharges.

Yes. Our operators are experienced with Amsterdam's unique infrastructure. We position the lift on the quay along canals like Herengracht, Prinsengracht, and Keizersgracht. On narrow quays, we use stabilizers that keep the lift secure without blocking the full walkway. We never place a lift on a bridge, but we can work from the quay next to it.

Absolutely. We cover all of Amsterdam-Noord, including NDSM, Buikslotermeer, Tuindorp Oostzaan, and the Overhoeks towers. Our trucks reach Noord via the IJ-tunnel or the Coentunnel. There is no extra charge for locations across the IJ.

Yes. Many of our Amsterdam bookings are for single items that simply do not fit through the staircase: pianos, L-shaped sofas, king-size mattresses, or gym equipment. A single-item lift typically takes under an hour. Call us at 020 225 0045 for a quick quote.
