Tips for moving house in Melbourne
- Book the largest trailer that fits your vehicle's tow capacity — it's almost always worth it.
- Use blankets and straps to protect furniture during transport. Ask your owner if any are included.
- Cage trailers work well for most moves; box trailers keep belongings dry and secure if rain is forecast.
FAQs — Moving House in Melbourne
Common questions about using a trailer for moving house.
What type of trailer is best for moving house?▼
Box and cage trailers are the most popular for house moves. Box trailers protect your belongings from weather, while cage trailers offer more flexibility for oddly shaped items. Enclosed trailers are ideal for high-value furniture.
How many trips will I need with a trailer to move house?▼
Most single-bedroom moves can be done in 1–2 trips with a medium-sized cage or box trailer. A larger home may need 3–4 trips, or a bigger trailer with a higher payload rating.
Do I need to pack the trailer a certain way?▼
Place heavy items on the floor near the axle, lighter items on top. Secure everything with ratchet straps — most owners include basic tie-down points.
