Our commitment: peace of mind for your pool table
There’s more to a successful pool table move than brute force. It’s an art that requires a proven method. Here’s what makes us different:
Moving your pool table, step by step
This is our simple and effective process, perfected over 12 years of experience.
- Initial inspection: We inspect your table, checking its condition, identifying fragile parts and taking photos for documentation.
- Meticulous disassembly: We carefully remove pockets, belts and carpet. We mark each part and take detailed photos to facilitate reassembly.
- Slate removal: This is the most critical stage. Slate can weigh up to 500 kg and is extremely fragile. With the help of several people, we remove it and store it vertically.
- Dismantling the frame and feet: Once the slate has been removed, we dismantle the frame and feet. Each piece is labeled and stored in an organized fashion.
- Professional packaging: Slate is protected in special covers. All components are packaged in high-quality materials to prevent scratches.
- Secure transport: Your table is strapped and secured in our fully-equipped truck. We drive carefully to make sure everything stays in place.
- Complete reassembly: At destination, we assemble the base, install the slate and check the level of the floor. We reassemble all components with the same precision.
- Final levelling: We use precision tools to ensure that your table is perfectly straight. We check with you that the playing surface is perfect before you set off.
Is there a difference between moving an ordinary pool table and moving a snooker table?
Snooker tables are larger and heavier. A standard snooker table is 12 feet by 6 feet, compared with 8 feet by 4 feet for a standard pool table. Snooker tables have 5 slates, compared with 1 or 3 for billiard tables. Transporting a snooker table is more expensive because it’s more complicated and heavier. At Demenagement Cargo Transport, we know how to move both.
How much does it cost to move a pool table?
The cost of transporting and installing a pool table varies according to the size and type of table, the number of slates and the distance to be covered. These factors determine the time, equipment and manpower required.
To give you an idea, moving a 3-slate pool table costs between $575 and $900, and a single-slate table can exceed $1,200 for a short distance. These figures are still estimates. The final price after appraisal, including insurance, for absolute peace of mind.

The most common questions people ask when moving a pool or snooker table.
Slate should be covered with thick blankets and stored upright, never flat. Strips must be individually wrapped to prevent warping. The mat should be rolled up (never folded) and stored in a dry place. All parts must be secured during transport. On arrival, the floor must be checked to ensure it is flat enough.
We use high-precision levels to make sure your table is straight. We check the level in all directions to make sure it’s well balanced. We check the rolling of the balls and adjust the feet if necessary. Before you leave, we’ll check with you to make sure the site is spotless.
No, not at all. Transporting a billiard table requires the right skills and equipment. Entrusting your table to non-professionals is the best way to destroy it. At Demenagement Cargo Transport, we’re experts. That’s what we do.
The price depends on several factors. On average, you should expect to pay between $575 and $1,200 for the complete removal of a standard pool table (3 slates). For a precise, customized quote, contact us with your table dimensions and location.
If you have an old table, you can sell it online (Facebook Marketplace, Kijiji), donate it to a school or community center, or recycle it. We can also take an old table off your hands. Contact us for more information.
