You’ve found the perfect dining table on Marketplace. The price is right, it’ll look great at home, and the seller wants it collected this weekend. There’s just one problem: it won’t fit in the car.
You don’t have to be moving house to need a truck. Sometimes it’s a couch, a few boxes or some office furniture that needs to get from one place to another.
At SA Taxi Trucks, we help with smaller moves as well as full house relocations. Here are a few occasions when booking a taxi truck can make life easier.
Collecting a Marketplace or Gumtree purchase
Buying second-hand furniture is often straightforward until it’s time to collect it. Larger pieces can be heavy, awkward to handle and difficult to fit in a standard vehicle.
Before arranging collection, confirm the item’s dimensions and check access with the seller. Let us know about stairs, narrow doorways or limited parking so we can plan a suitable truck and discuss the help needed to load and unload.
It’s also worth agreeing on a collection window with the seller before finalising your transport.
Bringing home furniture from a store
If you’ve bought furniture and need to arrange your own collection, a taxi truck can help get it home.
Check with the store that your order is ready, find out where collections take place and confirm their pickup hours. Share those details with us, along with the size and number of items, and we’ll discuss a suitable transport option.
Moving a few things into storage
Decluttering, renovating or making room for visitors can mean moving furniture and boxes into storage.
Even a small load can take several car trips. Booking a truck can help you get those items moved together, with room for the larger pieces.
Before booking, check your storage facility’s access hours and whether there are any entry, parking or loading requirements we should know about.
Passing furniture on to family or friends
A spare bed for your adult child’s first home. A fridge going to a mate. A dining setting being handed down to family.
These jobs might only involve one or two items, but they still need suitable transport. A taxi truck can save you organising a trailer or borrowing a vehicle, particularly when the item is bulky or difficult to handle.
Moving office furniture or equipment
Businesses don’t always need a full relocation service. Sometimes it’s a few desks going to another office, shelving being collected or equipment moving between locations.
Tell us what needs moving and flag any building access requirements, such as lifts, loading docks or set delivery times. This helps us plan the job around both locations.
What should you have ready when you book?
A few details will help our team understand the job:
What you’re moving, including approximate dimensions
Pickup and delivery addresses
Your preferred date and any collection deadlines
Stairs, lifts, narrow access or parking restrictions
Whether help is available at either end
You don’t need to know which truck to choose. We’ll talk through the load, access and handling requirements with you.
Got something that won’t fit in the car?
Whether it’s one piece of furniture or a small load, get in touch with SA Taxi Trucks. We’ll help you work out a practical way to get it where it needs to go.
