Every move
How many movers do I actually need?
More movers cost more per hour but finish faster, and fewer movers cost less per hour but take longer. The right answer is the one that gets your move done for the least total, and it depends on the job.
Because we charge by the hour, the crew size is not about spending more or less, it is about the total. A too-small crew on a big job can actually cost more, because the hours pile up and a single mover is stuck waiting for the trolley. A too-big crew on a tiny job means you are paying for a spare pair of hands. Here is how the three crews line up with real jobs.
| Crew | Best for | Typical Auburn job |
|---|---|---|
| 2 movers, 1 truck | Units, small flats, lighter loads | A one or two-bedroom apartment near the station |
| 3 movers, 1 truck | Family homes, most cottages | A two to three-bedroom Berala or Regents Park cottage |
| 4 movers, 2 trucks | Large homes, offices, one-trip moves | A big house, or a Silverwater office relocation |
The things that push you up a crew size
- Stairs and no lift. Every flight adds carry time; another pair of hands earns its keep fast.
- A long carry. No driveway and a truck parked down the street means more walking per item.
- Heavy or awkward pieces. A fridge, a washing machine or a piano is a two-person lift on its own.
- A hard deadline. A booked lift slot or an office that must reopen tomorrow rewards a bigger crew.
The honest bit
We would rather size the crew right than upsell you. When you tell us the pieces, the access and the deadline, we will recommend the crew that finishes your move for the least total, even when that is the smaller one. The Threshold Check gives you a first read on crew size from the pieces alone, and the rates page has the numbers.
