About This Company

Gentle Giant operates from their Grays Ferry location in Philadelphia, bringing over four decades of moving expertise to the entire metro area including Rittenhouse Square, University City, Manayunk, and the Main Line. Founded by college rowers in 1980, this unique company has grown from a single Boston truck into a national network with 20 locations across the country. What makes Gentle Giant different is their athletic hiring approach - they actively recruit from local rowing programs, creating crews of highly trained, full-time employees who treat moving like professional athletics. Their Philadelphia office has earned recognition as one of the city's "Healthiest Employers," reflecting their investment in employee wellbeing that translates into superior customer service. Unlike many competitors who use day laborers or subcontractors, Gentle Giant maintains direct control over every aspect of the moving process. They offer a 100% crew satisfaction guarantee and specialize in navigating Philadelphia's narrow streets and tight row house staircases, making them the go-to choice for discerning customers throughout southeastern Pennsylvania.
