Removalists Carnegie
Units near the station, houses off Koornang Road, all quoted by the hour.
Units near the station, houses further out
Carnegie sits on the railway line between Caulfield and Oakleigh, and the housing changes with the distance from the station. Closer in, newer apartment buildings line the streets around Carnegie station on the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines. Further out, older weatherboard and brick houses sit on standard suburban blocks with driveways wide enough for a truck. Our Carnegie removalists know the difference matters: a unit move near the station means a lift booking, tight parking and a short carry, while a house job past Koornang Road has a driveway and room to load.
The supervisor on each crew sets the loading plan and works out what needs to come apart. Beds, tables and flat-pack wardrobes are pulled down for loading and reassembled at the other end. Local rates start from $75 per half hour for a two-person crew and a 20 cubic metre truck, and the full list by truck size is on our removalist prices page.
Parking and access along Koornang Road
Koornang Road is Carnegie’s eat street, lined with cafes and restaurants from Dandenong Road down to Neerim Road, and parking is tight along the strip and the streets that feed it. Tram route 67 terminates just south of the shops, adding to the congestion at peak times. On move day, knowing which streets allow parking and which are permit-only saves the crew from circling.
Where a larger truck will not fit, we bring a smaller one or plan the carry so loading stays efficient. We blanket-wrap and plastic-wrap every item, then strap it into the truck before closing the doors.
Packing when there is no room to stage
Carnegie has a large population of students and renters, with Monash University’s Caulfield campus just up the road. Many of the apartments near the station are compact, with nowhere to stack boxes the night before. Our packing team can come in on the morning, pack the kitchen and bedrooms and hand straight to the loading crew in one pass.
Boxes, paper and tape are for sale if you would rather pack yourself. Public liability and transit insurance covers every move we do, running from the first item off the shelf to the last piece placed at the new address.
Interstate moves and storage from Carnegie
Interstate loads from Carnegie head out via the Monash Freeway or Princes Highway to Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra. A dedicated truck comes with an agreed delivery day, or you can share a backload and pay only for the space your furniture takes up.
Moving to Carnegie from another state, we unload at the door, carry everything in and place each piece where you point. If the new place is not ready, your goods go into our climate-controlled storage, kept under round-the-clock surveillance, and we deliver once you have the keys.

Give us the addresses, the bedroom count and anything oversized such as a piano or a pool table. We come back with a truck size and a price. Use the volume calculator below to get a rough idea yourself. The quote is free and there is no obligation.
Keeping the hours down keeps the cost down. Boxes sealed and labelled, drawers empty, a clear path from the front door to the truck and a parking spot sorted before we arrive can cut a full hour off a unit move. Call 1300 724 553 to talk it through, or fill in the contact form.

What sets our Carnegie service apart
Hourly rates, no guesswork
Your rate depends on the truck and crew size. We quote after checking the access at both ends, so the figure matches the actual job.
Right truck for the lane
Several truck sizes mean we pick the one that suits Carnegie's tight streets near the station rather than sending something too big to park.
Trained crews on every move
Our crews are trained by us. The supervisor sets the plan, and the same team wraps, loads, drives and unloads at the other end.
Furniture protected in transit
Blanket-wrapped, plastic-covered and strapped. Fridges travel upright and glass-top tables get their own layer of protection for the drive.

Frequently asked about Carnegie moves
How do you deal with parking near Koornang Road on move day?
We ask about parking when we quote. If you are near the eat street or the station, holding a spot out the front or knowing the permit rules for your block saves the crew from circling. Where we cannot park close, we plan the carry so loading still runs smoothly.
Can you do an office move on Koornang Road after hours?
Yes. Office and commercial moves are available around the clock, including nights and weekends. We plan the move outside your trading hours so the business opens the next morning without missing a beat.
Do you move single items like a fridge or a washing machine?
Yes. Single-item moves are quoted as their own job. Tell us the item, where it sits in the house and the access at both ends, and we quote the crew and truck it needs.
What if the truck cannot park close to my unit block?
We either send a smaller truck that fits the street or plan a longer carry and quote the extra time. Knowing the parking situation before we arrive means the quote is accurate and the crew is not standing around working out where to go.
Can I add a packing team after I have already booked the move?
Yes, as long as we have enough notice to schedule the packers. Call us and we add them to the booking. They can come the day before or on the morning of the move.
What is the difference between a dedicated truck and a backload?
A dedicated truck carries only your furniture and arrives on an agreed day. A backload shares the truck with another load heading the same way, and you pay for the space your things take up rather than the whole truck. Both options run on the same corridors.
