Home Removals

Home removals can be a very traumatic experience, and such a move is often quoted as being as stressful as either bereavement or divorce. After every move the protagonist usually ends up by stating ‘Never again!’, but of course, it usually does happen again, and again, and each time it become just a little more difficult as one’s belongings increase in number. Home removals can be short distance – across town or can be from one end of the country to the other. When they become extremely long distance such as from one continent to another they start to become a little more complicated and expensive.

Active Transport has been in the home removals business for some twenty years and is based in the Pretoria region, where we operate out of an 800m² storage warehouse. The company has a well-trained staff, many of whom have been with us for at least the last ten years. They have been trained in all of the necessary skills for the furniture removal business, where belongings require careful wrapping and packing to avoid damage to furniture and effects. Many household insurance policies do not cover goods in transit unless they are packed, carried and unpacked by a professional home removals company. Removal vans often have internal wooden wall bars to which tall or heavy furniture can be secured with webbing, and a ramp or tail lift to assist in loading. Staff have to be carefully trained in the use of all of these accessories. For further information or for a free quotation, please contact us.
