can be disassembled
I would omit the "desmontável" from the name (see references below) but use the expression
EASILY ASSEMBLED, DISASSEMBLED, AND MOVED
in the body of the description.
Assembly, disassembly, to assemble, to disassemble are the most common forms.

Example sentence:
Electric Portable Cement Concrete Mixer 5 cubic feet/140L drum with 0.5HP motor, for mixing of concrete, mortar and stucco, also can be used for inoculating seeds and mixing feeds. It can be easily assembled and disassembled by one person...
A mixer particularly designed for light, domestic use is provided. The mixer includes a base frame, a mixing drum, and a handle, all of which are readily assembled and disassembled for easy transportation, even in an automobile.
