About Our Service

Innisfail's Local Moving Specialists

R2G removalists truck in Innisfail, Cairns

Innisfail is a charming Art Deco town south of Cairns, known for its multicultural heritage, banana and sugar cane farming, and proximity to the World Heritage Wet Tropics rainforest. We service Innisfail and the surrounding Southern Suburbs region regularly.

The mix of heritage Queenslanders and modern homes in Innisfail means our team comes prepared for all property types. We understand the unique challenges of moving in tropical Far North Queensland and plan accordingly.

Innisfail is one of Australia's wettest towns, receiving over 3,500mm of rain annually. Our team takes extra waterproofing precautions on every Innisfail move, using heavy-duty plastic wrap and waterproof covers on all furniture and boxes. Many older Innisfail homes are raised high on stilts as flood mitigation, which means navigating steep external stairs. We bring stairclimber equipment and extra hands when needed for these elevated properties.

Across Innisfail we send a crew prepared for the town's mix of heritage Queenslanders and modern homes. Trucks carry furniture blankets, trolleys, straps and padding, plus heavy-duty plastic wrap and waterproof covers given the local climate. For the high-set homes raised on stilts we bring stairclimber equipment and extra hands. Loading, protected transport and careful placement at your new address are all part of the service.

What to Expect

Moving Day in Innisfail

Expect the crew to keep a close eye on the weather, as Innisfail is one of the wettest towns in the country. We wrap furniture and boxes in waterproof covers before anything leaves the house and time loading around showers where we can.

Many older homes here sit high on stilts as flood protection, so external stairs are part of the day. The crew uses stairclimber gear and additional hands for these properties. If your move involves the Bruce Highway, we factor the travel time in and set off accordingly.

Tips for a Smooth Innisfail Move

Prepare for rain, always.

Innisfail averages over 3,500mm of rain per year. Even in the 'dry' season, showers are common. We waterproof all loads as standard, but having your boxes sealed and items ready to load quickly makes a big difference.

Check if your home is flood-raised.

Many older Innisfail homes are raised on high stilts for flood protection. This means steep stairs that require careful handling of heavy furniture. Let us know your property type so we can bring the right equipment.

Factor in the Bruce Highway travel time.

Innisfail is 88km south of Cairns, approximately 1-1.5 hours on the Bruce Highway. We include travel time in our quotes and plan the route to avoid roadworks and peak traffic around Gordonvale.

Air out stored items before packing.

Innisfail's extreme humidity means items stored in sheds, under houses or in non-ventilated rooms can develop mould and mildew. Wipe down and air out furniture, books and clothing a few days before your move to prevent transferring moisture and musty odours into your new home.

Reviews

What Innisfail Customers Say

Real feedback from recent R2G Transport & Storage moves in and around Innisfail.

R2G moved us from an elevated Queenslander in Innisfail to a modern home in Edmonton. The stairs at our old place were steep and narrow but the crew handled our heavy furniture down them like absolute pros. Nothing damaged.
Tony & Maria C.Innisfail, January 2025
We needed to move from Innisfail to Cairns urgently for work. R2G fit us in within a week, drove the Bruce Highway carefully with our belongings, and delivered everything in perfect condition. Very reliable.
Joanne P.Innisfail, October 2024
Moved from a rural property outside Innisfail into town. The R2G team navigated the dirt road to our old place and loaded up even our heaviest shed items. They were thorough and honest with the pricing.

FAQ

Innisfail Removals FAQ

How do you protect my belongings from rain on an Innisfail move?
Innisfail receives very heavy annual rainfall, so we treat waterproofing as routine. The crew uses heavy-duty plastic wrap and waterproof covers on furniture and boxes, and we time loading around showers where possible to keep everything dry between the house and the truck.
Can you move furniture out of a high-set, flood-raised Innisfail home?
Yes. Many older Innisfail homes are raised high on stilts for flood mitigation, which means steep external stairs. We bring stairclimber equipment and put extra hands on these jobs so heavy and awkward items come down safely without rushing.
How long does the drive between Innisfail and Cairns take?
Innisfail sits around 88km south of Cairns City along the Bruce Highway, so the drive is roughly an hour and a half each way depending on conditions. We build this travel time into the plan and usually start early so loading is done before the day heats up.
How do you charge for local moves in Innisfail?
We charge competitive hourly rates based on team size and job requirements. 1-2 bedroom homes are typically handled by a 2-man team and truck, while larger homes require 2-3 removalists. There is a minimum 2-hour booking. We also offer fixed-price quotes for larger moves, just ask when you get your quote.
Do you move single items or just whole households?
We move everything from a single heavy item like a fridge or sofa, right through to full household relocations. Contact us for current pricing on single item moves, a minimum booking fee applies.
Do you move pianos and heavy items?
Yes. Our team is trained and equipped to move heavy and awkward items including pianos, pool tables, large fridges, gym equipment and safes. Let us know about specialty items when requesting your quote.
