Whether it’s moving across the country or across your town/city, these trucks are great for the job. They are easy to drive, automatic, have Bluetooth stereos and reversing cameras and they are a lot cheaper than using a full blown moving company. 

2. Work Box Truck out for Repairs

The second best reason to use one of our boxed trucks is if you have a work vehicle that is out of action for repairs or service.

All of our trucks are class 1 and are super simple to drive. On top of being modern, they are simple for your team to use.

3. Office Relocation

4. Bike/Vehicle Moving

Believe it or not our trucks are able to move a motorbike or light 4 wheeler, and our tail lifters will even lift them (provided they are no larger than 500kg). This is quite a popular thing that is done with box trucks, due to the ease of operation and not having to tow a trailer. You can easily tie them down and cover them in moving blankets to protect them too. The moving truck is an all in one moving solution. Just make sure to tie your bike or 4 wheeler down with tie downs/straps which we can provide. We wouldn’t want your pride and joy rolling around the back of the truck.

Lots of local bands and music groups utilize our box trucks to move all sorts of musical equipment, you can carry everything you need in them to put on a show or move your band, including 3 people! Groups like Wellington Brass Band utilize these trucks to put on shows all around the region just to name one.
