Removalists Huntingdale
Hourly moves between the Princes Highway and North Road, quoted on your access.
Moving between Huntingdale’s houses and unit blocks
Huntingdale sits in a narrow strip between the Princes Highway and North Road, with older weatherboard and brick homes on the residential streets and a growing number of unit developments closer to Huntingdale Road. That mix shapes every quote because a ground-floor house on a quiet street off Franklyn Street is a different job from a second-storey unit with rear-only access facing the highway. Our Huntingdale removalists bill local moves by the hour, and a supervisor leads every job, from planning the truck load to placing the last box at the new place. 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.
Truck access across the 3166 postcode
Huntingdale shares the 3166 postcode with Oakleigh and Oakleigh East, and the streets change character quickly. Along the Princes Highway the access is commercial, with wider kerb cuts and more room for a truck. Turn into the residential blocks between Franklyn Street and Huntingdale Road and the driveways narrow, street trees close in and parked cars line both sides. Near Huntingdale station on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines, newer apartment builds have basement parking with height clearances that rule out a full-size truck. We ask about the access at both ends before we quote so we send the right truck and nobody pays for a crew waiting around.
Packing a Huntingdale unit or small house
In a smaller home or unit there is often no hallway to stage boxes, so a packing team the day before solves the problem. We pack, label by room and stack everything for the crew to load straight off in the morning. On the day, furniture gets blankets, plastic and straps before it goes on the truck. We take apart beds, tables and flat-pack wardrobes and rebuild them at your new address. We carry public liability and transit insurance on every move. If settlement dates do not line up, our climate-controlled storage facility holds your load under 24/7 surveillance until the keys come through.
Interstate loads from Huntingdale
Huntingdale sits right beside the Princes Highway, and a few minutes east the road meets the Monash Freeway. A Melbourne-to-Sydney or Melbourne-to-Canberra load picks up the Hume from there. Brisbane loads head north through CityLink instead. You can take a dedicated truck with a firm delivery day, or share a backload and pay only for the space your furniture needs. If you are moving into Huntingdale from interstate, we bring your goods to the door and put everything in the rooms you nominate.
Get a price for your Huntingdale move
Tell us both addresses, the bedroom count, any big items like a piano or pool table, and what the access is like at each end, including stairs, lifts and driveways. We reply with a truck size and a price, and you can gauge the volume first with our calculator below. The quote is free and you are under no obligation.
Preparation knocks time off the bill. Boxes packed and taped shut, drawers emptied, a parking spot held out the front and any lift booked can take an hour off a Huntingdale unit move. Phone 1300 724 553 to go through the details, or submit the contact form for a callback.

What every Huntingdale move includes
Hourly rate, no guesswork
The rate is set by the truck and crew your job needs, quoted once we know the access at both ends, so you see how the price is built before you book.
A truck that fits the street
We run trucks in several sizes and pick the one your street and your load actually need, so you are not paying for empty space or a second trip.
Supervisor on every job
One crew member runs the loading order, decides what gets wrapped first and what goes on last so it comes off first at the new place.
Furniture wrapped on site
Every piece of furniture is wrapped in blankets and plastic and strapped in the truck before the drive, whether it is heading across Huntingdale or across the state.

Common questions about Huntingdale moves
Can a full-size truck fit on the narrower residential streets off Franklyn Street?
It depends on the street. Some of the older residential courts between Franklyn Street and Huntingdale Road are too narrow for our largest truck, so we send a smaller one and plan the carry to keep the hours down. Tell us the address and we check before we quote.
How does Princes Highway traffic affect a Huntingdale move?
The Princes Highway carries heavy traffic at peak hours, and loading on a street that exits onto it slows things down. We suggest a morning start before the traffic builds, and where possible we park on the quieter residential side rather than the highway frontage.
Do you move businesses from the industrial area near North Road?
Yes. Our commercial and office crews work 24/7 including nights and weekends, so a warehouse or workshop move in Huntingdale’s industrial strip can run outside business hours. We quote the job based on the gear, the access and what needs to come apart and go back together.
Is there an extra charge for stairs in a Huntingdale Road unit block?
No separate stairs fee. Stairs add time, and because we charge by the hour the extra time shows in the total. Tell us about the stairs, any lift and the floor number when you ask for a quote and we factor it into the estimate.
Can you hold furniture if my Huntingdale lease ends before the new place settles?
Yes. We collect your load, take it to our climate-controlled facility with 24/7 surveillance, and hold it until you have the keys. The storage can run a few days between leases or several months while you sort out the next step.
