This is a removals crew, not a staffing agency

Worth being precise about. The two things are not the same, and the difference is who carries the risk.

Book a crew

  • They stay our employees

    We are not placing workers into your business for you to direct. Our crew come to do removal work, under our supervision, on our payroll, covered by our WorkCover insurance. You tell them what goes where. You are not their employer for the afternoon.

  • Why that matters on a staircase

    Moving is one of the easier ways to hurt a back. Two people found on an app have no cover behind them. The arrangement you made in a chat thread is what gets examined afterwards. Hiring a company with employees moves that whole question off your plate.

  • Removalists, not general labour

    There is a technique to loading a truck so nothing shifts on the Monash. Heavy and square at the front, weight over the axle, soft goods packed into the gaps. People who move for a living know it. People hired by the hour to lift things generally do not.

  • The gear turns up too

    Trolleys, stair climbers, straps, blankets and wrap arrive with the crew. That is usually the thing people forget when they price a hire truck and a couple of mates.

When people hire movers without a truck

  • You hired the truck

    A ute or a van already booked. You drive, we load and unload.

  • Loading a container

    Shipping container on the driveway for storage or an overseas move.

  • Moving within a building

    Floor to floor in a tower, or unit to unit. No truck involved at all.

  • Rearranging a house

    Before carpet, before painting, or because the lounge is in the wrong room.

  • Office shuffles

    Desks and workstations moved around a Cremorne or CBD floor.

  • Carrier pickups

    An interstate carrier arrives on a fixed schedule. We have it loaded and ready.

  • Marketplace pickups

    You bought something big. We bring the muscle and the trolleys to collect it.

  • Unloading only

    You drove it down from Sydney. We meet the truck and empty it.

Two movers or three?

Two handles most apartment and small house loads. Three is faster per dollar once there are stairs. The carry is the slow part, not the lifting.

Tell us the property, the access and what time your hire truck is due back. We will say which crew size actually costs you less, including when that is the smaller one.

How a labour-only booking runs

  1. 01 Step

    Tell us the job

    What is being moved, the access at both ends, and what vehicle you have.

  2. 02 Step

    Pick a crew size

    We recommend two, three or four, and say why. Two hour minimum either way.

  3. 03 Step

    Crew arrive with gear

    Trolleys, straps and protection come with them. You point, they lift.

  4. 04 Step

    Loaded to a plan

    Packed so it does not shift in transit, then billed for the hours used.

Four things a labour provider should give you

  1. Employees, not randoms

    On our payroll and covered by our WorkCover insurance. Ask anyone else.

  2. Gear included

    Trolleys and straps arrive with the crew. Not an extra line on the invoice.

  3. Honest crew sizing

    We will tell you when two is enough, even though three bills more.

  4. People who move for a living

    Loading a truck properly is a skill. It is the whole job, not the lifting.

Labour hire questions, answered

How much does it cost to hire movers without a truck?
Hourly per mover with a two hour minimum. No truck in the price. Tell us the job and the access and you get a written price the same morning.
Can I book just one mover?
We send two as a minimum. One person lifting furniture alone is how people get hurt. A single mover cannot safely take one end of anything heavy.
Are your crew insured?
They are our employees, covered by our WorkCover insurance, and we carry public liability on the work. That is the main reason people book a company instead of two individuals.
What if someone is injured in my house?
They are our workers, so it runs through our insurance, not yours. With people hired casually off an app, that question has a much less comfortable answer.
Do they bring equipment?
Yes. Trolleys, stair climbers, straps, blankets and wrap come with the crew. It is included rather than hired separately.
Can they drive my hire truck?
No. Our crew load and unload, you drive. If you would rather not drive at all, book a standard removal and we bring our own truck.
Can you load a shipping container?
Yes, and it is a regular booking. Containers need packing tight and strapped in sections, because anything loose moves a long way in transit.
Can you move things inside a building?
Yes, floor to floor or room to room. Tell us the building. A tower may still need the service lift booked, even for an internal move.
How much notice do you need?
Same day is often possible if a crew is free. Ring rather than email for anything urgent and you will know within minutes.
Do you do office moves this way?
Yes, for internal shuffles and small floors. A full commercial relocation is a different service with a site survey and a fixed price.
What will the crew not do?
Anything hardwired, gas or refrigerant. No hazardous goods. They also will not work beyond safe load limits, which is the point of hiring trained movers.
