When you're booking a move for your home or items in Cape Town, you want assurance that your furniture and possessions are in safe, professional hands.
Our movers and packers in Cape Town are extensively vetted, highly trained, and expertly skilled in handling removals of every scale, collaborating with you to meet your unique needs and expectations. They are adept at securing and managing each item, from loading to unloading. This is the hallmark of the Wise Move experience.
More importantly, they can effortlessly adapt to evolving situations, ensuring the security and safety of your belongings, regardless of any challenges that may arise. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we consistently deliver.

Should you require packaging materials, we’ll supply them well ahead of time to streamline the moving process. If you seek guidance or advice on preparing and what to expect, we're always just a phone call or email away to assist.
For packing, we recommend keeping box weight to no more than 20kg to allow for safe stacking without crushing. Larger boxes are fine, but please label them as heavy so we can load them correctly in the truck.
Similarly, placing a large, visible FRAGILE sticker on any boxes containing glass, ceramics, or other delicate items will ensure they’re handled with utmost care at all times.
Be aware that some items cannot be moved or are legally restricted. These include explosives, illegal substances, firearms, hazardous chemicals, jewellery, frozen goods, and cash. To guarantee a smooth experience, we recommend checking with us if you have any concerns about your cargo beforehand so we can provide solutions.
On moving day, our specialists will manage all the heavy lifting – loading large furniture and bulky items. They arrange these with smaller boxed items to safeguard everything being moved; proper stacking prevents breakage. Every mover is skilled in arranging and securing furniture and items to ensure safety during transit.
Upon arrival, your movers will assist with unloading, following your instructions on where to place boxes, furniture, and installations. Once everything is offloaded, they’ll gladly address any questions or concerns you may have.

When moving house, professional packing isn't simply advisable—it's essential. Even with highly experienced moving teams managing your belongings, the packing process itself plays a crucial technical role in preventing damage or breakage. Proper packing provides essential cushioning, structural integrity, shock absorption, and secure containment, all of which are critical during transportation.
At Wise Move, we have assembled a network of South Africa’s premier packing specialists, thoroughly trained in advanced and technical packing methodologies tailored specifically for diverse household items. Our moving teams have extensive knowledge of packing materials, methods, weight distribution, and transport dynamics, enabling them to safely handle everything from fragile antiques and fine ceramics to sophisticated electronics, musical instruments, bulky furniture, and household appliances.
For fragile and highly sensitive items, such as fine china, glassware, artwork, or antiques, our teams employ an intricate Fragile Packing procedure. Each item undergoes a technical multi-step packing process beginning with acid-free tissue paper to guard against scratches, chemical reactions, or surface damage. This is followed by individual wrapping in multiple layers of high-density, industrial-grade bubble wrap designed specifically for superior shock absorption and vibration dampening. Items are then securely packed into reinforced double-wall corrugated boxes. The boxes are systematically arranged and clearly marked for identification, ensuring careful handling throughout the entire relocation process.
For furniture and larger household items such as cabinets, sofas, tables, and kitchen appliances, our teams utilise Blanket Packing—a highly technical method leveraging thick, durable, professional-grade moving blankets. Each item is expertly wrapped and secured using robust strapping or stretch film to prevent shifting, friction, or abrasion during transport. The technical approach employed by our moving teams ensures not only physical protection but also breathability, reducing potential moisture build-up that could otherwise damage surfaces.
Beyond packing, Wise Move's moving teams consistently apply precise handling and vehicle loading procedures. Items are meticulously arranged within moving trucks according to weight, size, and fragility, using advanced loading strategies to balance loads and optimise space utilisation. Securely strapped and braced to minimise shifting, items remain stable throughout transit, significantly reducing the potential for damage due to movement or vibration.
With Wise Move, your relocation is managed with technical precision and care, ensuring every item arrives safely and securely at your new home.
