Removalists in Gungahlin, ACT
A trusted moving service for townhouses, new builds and family homes — from Franklin and Harrison to Taylor and Throsby.
Half of Gungahlin seems to be moving in for the first time — into a Taylor townhouse just off the plan, a Franklin apartment near the light rail, a family home in Amaroo. As Canberra's newest large district, Gungahlin generates a particular kind of move, and Truckmen Removals & Storage covers all of it as part of the Canberra areas we service. We wrap, load, transport, unload and reassemble; you get a free quote in about two minutes.
What Removalists in Gungahlin Cost
Gungahlin moves are charged like the rest of Canberra — an hourly rate for crew and truck against a realistic duration:
| Move type | Typical crew | What drives the price |
|---|---|---|
| Townhouse or duplex | 2 removalists + truck (3–5 hrs) | Internal stairs, garage size, street parking |
| Apartment (Flemington Rd corridor) | 2 removalists + truck (2–4 hrs) | Lift bookings, visitor parking, dock access |
| 3–4 bedroom family home | 2–3 removalists + truck (4–7 hrs) | Volume, double-storey layouts, packing readiness |
| New-estate move (Taylor, Throsby, Jacka) | 2 removalists + truck (3–6 hrs) | Street access, construction traffic, delivery timing |
The regional rate for a two-person crew and truck is $130–$180 per hour. Cost control in Gungahlin is mostly about access planning — the rate matters less than whether the truck can park within reach of your door. Full breakdown in the moving cost guide.

Gungahlin's newest streets were not drawn with a removal truck in mind. Small-lot subdivisions in Taylor, Throsby, Jacka and Moncrieff mean narrow carriageways, limited verge parking, and neighbours' cars where the truck needs to stand. On the district's northern edge, estates are still under construction — expect contractor vehicles, temporary road closures and freshly poured driveways you're not allowed to stand a truck on.
None of this is a problem if it's planned for. When we quote a new-estate move we ask about street width, driveway status and construction activity, and we schedule around them rather than discovering them on the day. If your street is tight, tell us — a truck positioned right the first time saves you paying for a crew to carry furniture an extra fifty metres.

Moving Into a Brand-New Build
A high proportion of Gungahlin moves are the first move into a brand-new home — and new builds deserve more care on arrival than old ones. Fresh paint scuffs easily, new floors haven't hardened into family life yet, and the garage is often the only storage while landscaping finishes.
Our crews use door jamb protection and floor runners as standard, position furniture room by room off your plan, and reassemble beds first so the first night works. If handover slips — as new-build handovers do — storage bridges the gap between your old place and your keys.
