Storage in Fyshwick — Without the Self Storage Workload
Secure storage for Canberra, without the drive-up, the loading or the van hire. We collect, store and return — storage and removals as one service.
Fyshwick is where Canberra's storage lives — and most of it asks you to do the work. Rent a storage unit, hire a van, load it yourself, drive-up, unload, repeat in reverse. Truckmen Removals & Storage runs the other model from our Canberra storage facilities: we collect your furniture, store it securely, and deliver it back when you're ready. Storage and removals as one service, one provider, one free quote.
Self Storage in Fyshwick vs Truckmen Storage — Which Suits You?
Fyshwick has no shortage of self storage: operators across the precinct offer storage units from lockers to warehouse-sized spaces, with drive-up access, CCTV surveillance and individually alarmed units. Kennards Self Storage and Storage King both operate in the precinct. Self storage in Canberra is genuinely the right tool for some jobs. The honest comparison:
| Self storage unit | Truckmen storage service | |
|---|---|---|
| Who does the loading and unloading | You | Our removalists |
| Transport | You hire or borrow a vehicle | Our truck, both directions |
| Access to your goods | Easy access during facility hours | By arrangement — we retrieve for you |
| Best for | Ongoing access needs: the caravan, vehicle storage, a wine cellar, hobby gear | Between-homes storage: settlement gaps, renovations, decluttering before sale, downsizing |
| Handling risk | Your packing, your stacking | Wrapped, padded, stacked by people who do it daily |
| Cost structure | Weekly unit rate + your time and vehicle | Storage rate + crew time for collection and return |
If you need to visit your storage space every weekend, rent a self storage unit — that's what they're for. If you need a household or office held safely between two dates and you'd rather not touch a box twice, that's us.
How Our Fyshwick-Area Storage Service Works
1. Quote
Tell us what's going in and roughly how long. ACT self storage pricing is usually per unit size; ours is quoted on your actual goods.
2. Collection
A crew wraps, loads and transports from anywhere in Canberra: Kingston, Griffith, Narrabundah, Barton and Campbell are minutes away; Queanbeyan and Jerrabomberra just over the border; Belconnen and the rest of Canberra covered the same day.
3. Storage
Secure storage, inventoried in.
4. Return
We deliver, position and reassemble at the new address, whether that's across Canberra or interstate via our interstate removals service.
Business and Commercial Storage
Businesses in Fyshwick and across Canberra use storage differently: stock overflow, office furniture between fit-outs, archived files, equipment between contracts. Our commercial storage handles business items on the same collect-store-return model, which means no staff time lost to a warehouse run.
For office moves with a storage leg — the fit-out that finishes three weeks after the lease ends — storage slots into the office relocation plan as one booking.
What Goes Into Storage — and What We'd Talk About First
A quick guide to what's routine and what we'd rather plan with you before collection day.
- Household furniture and whitegoods
- The core of every between-homes store; wrapped and padded as standard.
- Moving boxes and cartons
- Sealed and labelled; we can supply boxes and packing materials before collection.
- Office furniture and equipment
- Desks, workstations, chairs, filing.
- The talk-first list
- Pianos and heavy items (crew planning), vehicles and caravans (usually better suited to dedicated vehicle storage — we'll say so honestly).
Interstate move to follow? Storage slots straight into an interstate removal or a house removal booking as one plan, not two.
Collecting and Returning Across Canberra
Kingston, Griffith, Narrabundah, Barton and Campbell are minutes from Fyshwick; Queanbeyan and Jerrabomberra just over the border; Belconnen and the rest of Canberra covered the same territory. Collection and return are run as a normal removal job — we wrap, load and transport, then deliver, position and reassemble at the new address.

Straight answers on self storage vs removalist storage, cost, access and how long you can store for.
Call 0434 906 926No — and the difference is the point. Self storage rents you a space and you do the moving. Our storage service does the moving for you: collection, secure storage and return delivery by the same removalists. If drive-up access to your goods every week matters, self storage suits you better; if the goal is a household stored safely between dates, this is the simpler tool.
We run our own Canberra storage facilities as part of a collect-store-return service — get in touch for the details of your job and we'll talk you through how it works.
You pay for storage plus the crew time for collection and return. Compare that against a unit rate plus two van hires, fuel and your weekend, and the gap is smaller than most people expect.
Yes — Fyshwick's neighbouring suburbs in minutes, and the whole of Canberra and Queanbeyan as standard territory. Collection is a normal removal job: we wrap, load and transport.
From a settlement-gap fortnight to open-ended.
Yes, by arrangement — tell us what you need and we'll retrieve it. It's not drive-up access, so plan a day or two ahead.
