Gentle Giant Moving

Gentle Giant has been calling Boston home since Larry O'Toole started the whole thing back in 1980, running operations from their main hub at 8 Bunker Hill Industrial Park. This company does something pretty unique - they actually recruit their movers from rowing teams, which explains why their crews work so well together and can handle heavy lifting like pros. What really separates them from other moving outfits is how they've stuck to hiring only full-time employees instead of day laborers, so you get the same trained team every time. They handle everything from tiny apartment moves to massive corporate relocations, plus they've got climate-controlled storage spread across multiple Boston-area locations. The "gentle giant" name isn't just marketing fluff either - these guys really do treat your stuff with care while still being strong enough to move pianos up narrow Beacon Hill staircases. After four decades in business, they've expanded to 20 locations nationwide but still keep that hometown Boston feel.
