Slow Roll: VW Minibus Move
When Moving Masters received the call from I Strategy Labs (ISL), for a 1972 VW Transporter II Minibus move up a flight of stairs and into an office building in Washington, DC. We were thrilled with this unusual opportunity and eager to be of service.
We were definitely up to this challenge. Over our 35 years in the moving business, we’ve successfully moved all sorts of specialized, delicate, and heavy equipment. Still, this was the first time we’ve ever put a 2,500 pound Volkswagen Bus in the lobby of a building, so we had to do some research. Our first task was to Google the weight and dimensions of the vehicle. After verifying the dimensions and weight, we conducted a site visit to measure the building entrance and develop a strategy.
