Who to hire for moving and organizing tools?

Hoping someone else has had to do this and can help. My dad is an old school landlord and huge DIYer, his work is amazing so I don't knock it!, BUT he recently injured himself (he's all good thankfully) and unable to finish the work he was doing on a vacant rental. We need to get folks in there asap to finish up this work but he's got a ton of tools all over the apartment and I need to get them out and organized. I'm pregnant so I can't do any heavy lifting so we'll need to hire folks to help us and it will probably entail some organizing of the garage to fit everything in there. 

I was thinking of doing task rabbit or something to find people but my worry is someone getting hurt while moving heavy and potentially dangerous stuff (like various types of saws) so I'm leaning towards getting pros instead. They'll also need a large van to be able to move things... so my questions are 

1. would you hire a company to do this/what are these called so I can find one?

2. if you'd hire folks from task rabbit or similar site, how do handle liability?

2a. what is the going rate for something like this? My guess is between the organizing and such it will likely be a full day. would $15/hr/person (I'm thinking at least 2) be sufficient?

This feels like the simplest task, but the potential for someone to hurt themselves in the process and us be on the hook for it has got me pausing. Properties are insured of course but not in any type of LLC or anything like that.

TIA for sharing your experience and insight!
