When you're relocating your home or belongings in Johannesburg, it's crucial to know your furniture and possessions are protected by professionals you can trust.
Our Johannesburg movers and packers are thoroughly vetted, expertly trained, and experienced in handling removals of all sizes. They collaborate with you to meet your specific needs and expectations, expertly securing and managing each item from loading to unloading. This is all part of the distinctive Wise Move journey.
Importantly, they adapt to changing circumstances, prioritising the safety of your belongings regardless of the challenges that may arise. Your satisfaction is our commitment, and we consistently deliver on that promise.
Booking with Wise Move provides an all-inclusive service. Our moving companies are available at every stage to offer their assistance.
Need packing materials? We’ll supply them promptly before your move, ensuring you can get a head start. Should you require guidance or advice on preparing for your move, we're just a phone call or email away.
For packing, we recommend limiting box weights to 20kg to facilitate safe stacking. Larger boxes are fine, but please label them as heavy, so we know how to position them properly in the truck.
Meanwhile, clearly mark any boxes containing glass, ceramics or other fragile items with a prominent FRAGILE sticker to ensure they receive extra care.
Please note that there are some items we cannot, or are legally prohibited from, transporting. These include explosives, illegal drugs, firearms, hazardous chemicals, jewellery, frozen goods, and cash. To ensure a smooth experience, contact us if you have any questions or concerns about your items, and we'll find appropriate solutions.
On moving day, our specialists manage the heavy lifting, loading large furniture and heavy items securely. They place everything in the trucks, stacking smaller boxes to maintain safety. With their expertise, movers ensure all furniture and items are bound securely while in transit.
Upon arrival, your movers will assist with unloading according to your instructions for placing boxes, furniture, and fixtures. If you have any questions or concerns once everything is unloaded, they’ll be happy to assist further wherever possible.
It's that simple! For reliable removals, choose Wise Move.

To ensure you can transport as much as needed, your movers will utilise reliable, heavy-duty vehicles suitable for both long and short trips. Each vehicle comes fitted with harnesses and clips to secure your possessions, guaranteeing their safety as they traverse Johannesburg.

We collaborate with a variety of movers in Johannesburg who are accessible every day of the week, including weekends and public holidays.

Our Johannesburg movers handle every step of your transition—packing, loading, transporting, unloading, and unpacking your possessions. We manage all the details so you can concentrate on what's meaningful: settling into your new home or space.
While our movers can assist with tasks like detaching washing machines, we recommend appliances be prepared prior to moving day. Ensure fridges and freezers are unplugged, defrosted, and cleaned before they're loaded into a vehicle. If there's an issue, or you lack knowledge on how to ready an item for your move, inform our movers. On packing day, our teams can arrive equipped with the necessary tools to assist you before the scheduled moving day.
For significant tasks like disconnecting mains, we suggest hiring an electrician or plumber.
If you require a clearance and decluttering service in Johannesburg to tidy up rooms, garages, and attics, we'll coordinate these services for you and seamlessly integrate them into your move.
We understand how challenging it can be to move a single item. Many movers in Johannesburg might not accommodate small, urgent tasks, while others may find it unfeasible cost-wise. Yet, sometimes you simply need assistance to transport a large wardrobe, bed, antique, piano, or an especially bulky sofa.
For our experts in Johannesburg, no task is too small or too large. Whatever you need delivered, our team will ensure it reaches its destination Door-to-Door at a competitive price.

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.
From the smallest rural community to the biggest city, Wise Move provides reliable moving teams ready to deliver your furniture and possessions anywhere in South Africa.
Once you send us your delivery details, our team coordinates everything. We organise the right moving teams in Johannesburg to reach both you and your destination, handling the route planning and logistics from start to finish.
If you’re managing the move remotely, we can work directly with your family, friends, or employees to ensure packing, loading, transport, and unloading all happen smoothly. You don’t need to be present at either location—our movers complete the job professionally and to the standard you expect.
That’s a Wise Move guarantee.
When you need to move, we understand how frustrating it can be to expect to pay one price, only for extra costs to add up as the process drags on.
