As a general rule most moving companies only move hot tubs or spas that are small enough to fit inside a 26 ft. moving truck and light enough to be carried. There are very few spas that meet this criteria so most often people require the services of a speciality hot tub moving service. These types of companies have the flat bed trucks and special tools such as a fork lift or spa lift to perform this sort of service. But, when and old friend from “back in the day” calls up and asks if we can move five of them, well I just couldn’t resist the challenge. That old friend happens to be the owner of Lone Star Spas & More here in Austin, and after reconnecting on facebook a while back he decided to see if we could help him with some inventory shuffling. My first response was “no I don’t think that’s our cup of tea”, but after we discussed it further I got all excited and just had to give it a try.
The whole load up went off without a hitch and although not the prettiest looking load in the world, everything got to its destination in one piece. I would not recommend those of you at home try this though, Lone Star has done this sort of thing for years and they really know how to do it right. I didn’t even know spas could be stacked on top of one another like that, but as we were told “that’s how they come from the factory”. My crew and I learned a lot about the art of spa moving and the benefits of having a forklift around. If only we had one of those on every job. So any way, Thanks to the guys over at Lone Star and if anyone out there ever needs Spa advice or service on an existing unit these are the guys to call.
