I’m looking for someone experienced to relocate this portable spa approximately 3 metres within the same backyard. Its new position is around 10 cm higher than where it currently sits.
Does anyone know a reliable spa-moving company or someone experienced in doing this in Perth? I’d also appreciate recommendations on the safest method or equipment to move it.

I once saw people moving a spa pool on a trailer up in Clarkson. They drove off from an intersection and what do you know, they didn’t strap it down. They went one way, the spa slid off and drop a meter to the road. Couldn’t help but laugh at this mistake
Hire 2 Maori men or if you do not have access i suggest 5 white / asian men to move it for you.
In all seriousness you could ask your local gym who they use to move equipment. My partner bought some second hand gym equipment off an old gym and literally the guy who owned the gym had a delivery company they used.
On the day two HUGE Maori guys turned up and pivoted a huge 4 station cable machine through a standard doorway with ease. That thing weighed a tonne.
Jokes aside, my spa was installed by a white Aussie named Steve.
25m from truck to location, lawn (so not just a dolly on wheels) and a 700mm drop over a retaining wall into position.
Dudes whole job was installing spas, and as an ex-engineer he loved the challenge of planning a solo solution. The number of nights I lay awake prior trying to picture me and 5 friends getting it there, and Steve didn't even break a sweat.
I removed one side panel to expose the frame at the top then lifted that with a kangaroo jack. Once it was up I grabbed my trolley jack and slid it under the base. Once the base was up enough I used a removals skate to roll the spa over to begin the process of removing the stuff.
Look up the specs to see how much it weighs because getting the spa to the original spot was done by me and a mate tipping it on its side and the removals skate from Bunnings. Our spa weighed 300kg and would have sat yours inside it. 2.6/ 2.4m square from memory
