Book a truck that's too small and you're paying for two trips. Book one that's too big and you're paying for air. After five years and a 20-truck fleet ranging from 25 to 60 cubic metres, here's the simple guide we use every day at Phoenix.
The quick rule of thumb
- Studio or 1 bedroom: a 25m3 pantech handles it comfortably in one trip, boxes included.
- 2 to 3 bedrooms: a 35 to 45m3 truck is the sweet spot for most family homes.
- 4+ bedrooms or acreage: our 60m3 big rigs, sometimes with a second crew, so it still happens in one day.
- Interstate: container trucks with trailers, so your whole household travels sealed in one load.
What most people forget to count
Garages, sheds, patios and the top of every wardrobe. The average Australian home holds 30 to 40 percent more than people guess, which is exactly why we quote from a quick survey rather than a guess over the phone.
The good news: you don't have to decide
Tell us what you're moving and we'll match the truck from our own fleet. No hire trucks, no subcontractors, just the right pantech with a trained Phoenix crew on board. It's one of the reasons our pricing stays honest: from $79.50 + GST per half hour, quoted upfront.
