Ghent (9000), Flanders' second city and one of Belgium's largest university cities, presents unique challenges for moves.

Our exterior furniture lift service is the ideal solution for transporting your furniture in these difficult configurations. For students, we offer adapted rates and great flexibility, especially during the academic year start (September) and end (June). Our vehicles comply with the low emission zone environmental standards.
