Saturday afternoon van driver: Cremorne to Richmond with lifting

$200

Cremorne VIC, Australia

8th Jun 2026

Need a man with a van for a 1.5-hour job on Saturday 27 June from 4:30pm. Pickup likely in Cremorne, VIC (specific address TBC, will confirm with the chosen tasker), drop at Storage King Richmond (47 Richmond Terrace). Load: Roughly 1m³ of materials but awkward and long-format — including a flat-pack neon sign in protective crate (~130cm × 130cm), 6 hanging flag tubes (each ~2.6m long), 2 collapsible A1 sign stands, a mesh wall display structure (~2m long), 3 foamcore signage boards (24×36"), 2 oversized novelty cheques (4ft × 2ft), plus 2 cartons of merch overflow. Largest single dimension is 2.6m (flag tubes) — needs a full-size van (Hiace LWB, Transit, or equivalent), not a small van or hatchback. Lifting and carrying required at both ends of the job: Pickup (Cremorne, VIC — address TBC): items will already be disassembled and packed by our print supplier's bump-out crew, but need to be carried out of the venue and loaded into the van. Ground-floor pickup, no stairs expected. Drop-off (Storage King Richmond): items need to be carried into the storage facility and walked into a 4m² unit (not just dropped at the loading dock). Trolleys available at the facility. Two-person job preferred — workable as one strong person if needed, given some items are awkward to handle solo (neon crate, mesh wall structure). Expected timing: ~40 min load at pickup, ~10 min drive, ~35 min unload + walk into storage unit = ~1.5 hours total.

Move an extremely heavy table from Parkville to Brunswick

$400

Parkville VIC, Australia

25th May 2026

This job will require 4 strong men to complete. The table has been dismantled so that the tabletop is separate from the legs. It is solid oak and the table top weighs around 200kg. It’s is no joke extremely heavy. (Like marble or stone). Unfortunately it is on the 6th floor of an apartment building and does not fit in the lift (we have attempted). It will need to go down 6 flights of stairs. This will require smart and safe removalists and the right equipment. Pickup location: Parkville VIC, Australia Drop-off location: Brunswick VIC, Australia Removals size: A few items Stairs: At pickup

Clayton was absolutely incredible. He and his team mate moved an incredibly big and heavy table (over 200kgs) down 6 steep flights of stairs without a single problem. He’s also the nicest guy ever. Highly recommend
