Moving Trucks

Enclosed pantech bodies for house and office moves, in three sizes — 20, 30 and 40 cubic metres. The 4.2 metre is the biggest truck a standard car licence covers, so most movers never need an MR at all.

Moving truck hire

Pantech bodies from 4.2 to 6.5 metres, with tailgate loaders and tie rails. The 4.2 m is car licence.

The largest enclosed body we run. Forty cubic metres and ten pallet spaces clears a four-bedroom house or a full office floor in a single load, instead of two runs in the 5.5 metre.

Licence check: the 4.2 m pantech is covered by a standard Victorian car (C) licence. The 5.5 m and 6.5 m pantechs need a Medium Rigid (MR) licence — we check at pickup, so please don't book one without it. Read the licence guide if you're not sure what yours covers.

Removalists & regular movers

If you're moving people for a living, you shouldn't be on a walk-up daily rate. We set up ongoing arrangements with removalist crews across the western suburbs — tailgate-lifter trucks held for your run days, ABN invoicing, and up to 25% off on long-term hire.

Common questions

Yes. In Victoria a car (C) licence covers vehicles up to 4.5 tonnes GVM, and that truck is built to sit under the line. It drives high and long, so take the first few corners slowly — but legally, your normal licence is enough.
The 4.2 m pantech has a loading ramp. The 5.5 m and 11 t pantechs have powered tailgate lifters, which makes a real difference for fridges, washing machines and anything palletised.
Not as standard. Ask when you book — we'll tell you what we have available to put aside for your dates.
Yes, and it's usually cheaper than you'd expect — overnight hire takes 20% off the base rate, and multi-day arrangements attract the long-term discount. Tell us your pickup and return times and we'll quote it properly.
Every hire carries an excess, and excess-reduction options are available at booking. If something does happen, our incident report form is the fastest way to get it logged — fill it in while you're still at the scene.
