Smaller trucks for high-density suburbs
In suburbs like Kangaroo Point, New Farm, Teneriffe, Fortitude Valley, South Brisbane and West End, a big truck often can't get close. For most apartment moves we send one of our smaller trucks (18–27 cubic metres). They're easier to park in loading zones and tight streets, and they fit more loading docks. See our trucks and equipment.
Lifts, loading docks and body corporate rules
Most buildings have rules for move days. Before we arrive:
- Book the goods lift with your building manager or body corporate at both ends, and ask whether lift padding is supplied.
- Check the loading dock or parking. Tell us about height limits, boom gates and where a truck can stop.
- Ask about move-day time slots. Many towers only allow moves at set times.
- Share access details such as fobs, concierge contacts and the service entry, which is often on a different street from the front door.
We'll plan the crew and timing around your booked slots, and protect lifts, corridors and doorways as we go.
Walk-ups and stairs
Not every unit has a lift. In older walk-up blocks we plan for stairs, tight landings and narrow doorways, and we'll dismantle beds, tables and other large furniture where needed. Tell us the floor and the number of flights when you request a quote.
Hourly rates: only pay for what you use
We charge by the hour, so you only pay for the time your move takes. That's cost effective for apartment moves, because you control how ready everything is. Book the lift, pack ahead and have everything by the door, and the move takes less time. See how our hourly rate works. Every job starts with a clear written quote.
Just a few items?

Moving tips for apartment moves
- Book the lift early. Popular move days such as weekends and month-ends fill fast.
- Measure big items. Check that couches, fridges and bed bases fit the lift and doorways at the new place.
- Use the move calculator to estimate your volume: move calculator.
- Keep a parking spot free for the truck if your building allows it.

FAQs
Do you move apartments and units in Brisbane?
Yes. We move studios, units, townhouses and apartments in high-rise towers across Brisbane, from our Eagle Farm depot at 2/24 Eagleview Place.
Do I need to book the lift for my apartment move?
Usually, yes. Most apartment buildings ask residents to book the goods lift or a loading dock time slot through the building manager or body corporate. Book it at both ends and tell us the times so we can plan the crew around them.
Will a big truck fit at my apartment building?
For most apartment moves we send one of our smaller trucks, which suit tight streets, loading docks and low-clearance car parks. Tell us about height limits and parking when you request a quote and we'll confirm the right truck.
How is an apartment move charged?
We charge by the hour, so you only pay for what you use. Booking the lift, packing ahead and having everything ready keeps the time down. Every job starts with a clear written quote.
What if I only have a few items from my unit?
