Moving Services We Offer in Fife

Residential Moving in Fife

Our residential moving service covers single family houses, duplexes and rentals across Fife, from the streets off Valley Avenue East to the hillside lots in Fife Heights. You can book it full service, where we pack, load, transport, unload and reassemble, or pick only the parts you want. Fife counted 4,326 housing units at the 2020 census against 4,130 households, so most moves here are into an occupied market with a tight turnaround between keys. We bring pads, dollies, shrink wrap and floor protection on every job.

Commercial and Warehouse Moving

Fife is built around warehousing, freight forwarding and industrial sites, and commercial moving is a large share of what we run here. We move offices, retail space, industrial equipment, IT rooms and workstations, and we schedule after hours and weekend work so your floor is not down during business hours. Forklifts and hydraulic lifts are available for machinery and heavy racking. If you are moving a warehouse, tell us at the estimate so we can size the truck count against the dock you are loading from.

Packing and Packing Supplies

Our packing service runs from a full pack of the whole house to fragile only work on a kitchen and a china cabinet. We build custom wooden crates for mirrors, artwork, marble and anything that will not survive a standard carton. If you would rather pack yourself, we sell packing supplies in four box sizes plus wardrobe, dish and mirror boxes, paper, bubble wrap and pads, and we deliver them.

Storage and Logistics Warehousing

We hold goods in short term and long term storage with climate control, 24 hour video and on site security, which covers the gap when a Fife closing date slips behind a move out date. Boats, RVs and vehicles can be stored as well. For business inventory rather than household goods, our logistics warehouse handles receiving, inventory tracking, pick and pack and distribution out of a 63,000 square foot facility opened in 2017.

Long Distance Moving From Fife

We have been a National Van Lines agent since 1996, which is how we move households out of Fife to the rest of the country. Long distance moving is quoted on shipment weight and distance rather than by the hour. Interstate jobs get an inventory at origin and the same company handling the load at both ends.

Truck Routes and Weight Limits Fife Movers Work Around

Fife publishes a truck route list and posts weight limits on several of the streets that run straight through its residential and light industrial blocks. That list is the reason a loaded van sometimes takes a longer way into a Fife address than a map app suggests.

The Posted Limits on 20th Street East, Valley Avenue East and 54th Avenue East

The city posts a 7 ton limit on 20th Street East between 54th and 70th Avenue East, on Valley Avenue East between 70th and 54th Avenue East, and on 54th Avenue East between Valley Avenue East and 20th Street East. Those three segments sit in the middle of the city, which means a fully loaded van headed to an address inside that box routes in on Pacific Highway East, Port of Tacoma Road, Frank Albert Road, Industry Drive or 70th Avenue East instead. We work the route out at the estimate rather than on the morning of the move, and if the street you live on cannot take the van we will shuttle the load in on a smaller truck.

Alexander Avenue East and the North Levee Road Bridge

Alexander Avenue East north of Pacific Highway East is a truck route southbound at all hours, but northbound only between 5 p.m. and 5 a.m. A northbound run on that street in the middle of a weekday is not an option, so a Fife job that would naturally use it gets planned around the clock. North Levee Road west of 66th Avenue East, at the Milroy Bridge, carries a 13 ton limit, while the same road east of that point does not. Fife Public Works is the authority on how those tonnages are measured, and we confirm the current posting before we commit to a route.
