About Our Service

Townsville's Local Moving Specialists

R2G removalists truck in Townsville

R2G Transport & Storage has been moving families and businesses across North Queensland for over a decade. Our Townsville operation is run by experienced local crews who know the city inside out — from the steep driveways of Castle Hill to the ferry logistics of Magnetic Island.

We handle everything from small unit moves in South Townsville and student relocations near JCU in Douglas, through to large family home moves in Kirwan, Bushland Beach and the northern suburbs. Military families relocating to or from Lavarack Barracks are a regular part of our Townsville work — we understand the timelines and the need for careful, efficient service.

Townsville's dry tropics climate means our crew schedules around the heat. We start early in summer to get the heavy lifting done before midday, and we carry extra water and weatherproof wrapping for the wet season storms that roll in from November through April.

Our trucks are clean, well-maintained, and stocked with premium moving gear — furniture blankets, tie-down straps, dollies, and protective padding. Every move is fully insured with comprehensive public liability and goods-in-transit cover.

Tips for a Smooth Townsville Move

Start early to beat the tropical heat.

Townsville regularly hits 35°C+ in summer. We schedule morning starts so the heaviest physical work is done before midday. Staying hydrated and keeping doors open for airflow during loading makes a real difference.

Plan around cyclone season.

From November through April, Townsville can cop severe storms and cyclones. If you are moving during wet season, secure all outdoor items immediately after unloading. Our crew brings extra weatherproof wrapping as standard during these months.

Book early for dry-season moves.

May to September is Townsville’s peak moving season — cooler weather, school transitions, and military postings all hit at once. Book at least 3 weeks ahead during the dry season to lock in your preferred date.

Tell us about steep driveways and stairs.

Townsville has plenty of elevated homes, especially around Castle Hill, Mount Louisa and the older inner suburbs. Share your driveway details when booking so we bring the right truck and stair equipment.

FAQ

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.
How many removalists will come on the day?
For 1-2 bedroom homes we typically send 2 experienced removalists plus a truck. For larger 3-4 bedroom homes we send 2-3 removalists. For 5+ bedroom homes or complex moves we’ll discuss team size when you get your quote.

We recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance for local Townsville moves, and 3-4 weeks during peak periods like the dry season (May–September) when most people relocate. That said, we always try to accommodate last-minute bookings — call 1300 959 498 to check availability.
