Our Winnipeg moving labour only service is simple: you rent the truck or container, and we send a trained crew to do the heavy lifting. We load, unload, carry, stack, and handle your furniture. You pay for our crew's time on site plus a discounted truck and travel charge — our crew still needs transportation and equipment to get to your job.
This is one of our most requested services in Winnipeg. It works well for a lot of different situations:
- You've rented a U-Haul, Penske, Budget truck, or trailer
- You have a portable storage container (POD, U-Box, or mobile unit) that needs loading or unloading
- You're moving within your building or between floors
- You need furniture moved room-to-room during a renovation, staging project, or redecorating
- You want to handle your own logistics but need professional muscle for the physical work
Our crew doesn't drive your truck — that's your end of the deal. But everything that requires strength, technique, and care for your belongings? That's ours.
Call us at (204) 296-2223 to get a free quote for your job.
Labour-only doesn't mean limited. Our crew handles the full range of physical work that comes with a move — whether you need one end of the job or both.
Truck and Trailer Loading
We load your rental truck or trailer efficiently and safely. Our team knows how to protect furniture during loading, maximize space in the box, and secure items so nothing shifts in transit. We work with U-Haul, Penske, Budget, and any other rental truck.
Truck and Container Unloading
Need a crew at your destination to take everything off the truck? We do unloading-only jobs too. Tell us where things go and we'll have your new place set up properly.
POD and Storage Container Loading/Unloading
We load and unload portable storage containers, U-Boxes, and mobile storage units. If your container is being delivered or picked up, we'll have it packed or emptied before the driver arrives.
In-Home Furniture Moving
Not every job involves a truck. We help Winnipeg homeowners move furniture room-to-room — for renovations, staging, redecorating, or just rearranging. If it's too heavy to move yourself, we can take care of it.
Specialty and Heavy Items
We handle pianos, gun safes, appliances, gym equipment, and other awkward or heavy items that require more than brute force. Our crew uses the proper equipment and techniques to move these safely — even into a rental truck.
There's no shortage of options for labour only movers in Winnipeg. TaskRabbit, Kijiji, and U-Haul's Moving Help platform all list individuals who'll show up and help you move. For some jobs, that works fine.
For jobs where your furniture, floors, and walls actually matter, the difference between a trained crew and a random helper becomes clear pretty fast.
Our crew members are trained movers, not people picking up side gigs. They know how to wrap furniture, use straps properly, work a dolly on stairs, and get a couch through a narrow doorway without leaving a mark. They do this every day.
A few things that set us apart from the gig options:
- Insured work — We're a professional moving company. Our work is covered.
- BBB Accredited with an A rating — Zero complaints since we opened in 2024.
- 5 stars on Google — 171+ reviews from Winnipeg customers who hired us for exactly this kind of work.
- 50+ combined years of experience — Our three co-founders have been in the moving industry since the early 2000s. The crew they've built reflects that.
If something goes wrong with a gig worker, you're on your own. If something goes wrong with us, you have a real company to call. That's the difference.

Winnipeg has a lot of older housing stock, and it shows up in moves. Our Winnipeg labour crews plan around the quirks of this city, not around a generic moving checklist.
- Older housing stock: River Heights, Wolseley, West End, North End, and St. Boniface are full of pre-war homes with tight stairwells, walkup apartments, and narrow hallways. These require movers, not helpers.
- Year-round winter moves: icy driveways, frozen truck ramps, cold-weather protection for furniture. A trained crew handles this as a default; a gig helper won't.
- Apartment building rules: Osborne Village, downtown, Fort Garry, and St. Vital buildings often require elevator bookings and specific move windows. We coordinate with property managers so your slot is locked in before the truck arrives.
- Downtown loading docks: condos in downtown and St. Boniface run on building schedules. We've worked with enough of them to know how to get in and out without delays.
If your job has any of these quirks, tell us up front, we'll price and plan around them.
Booking is straightforward. Call us at (204) 296-2223 or request a free quote online. Here's what to have ready when you reach out:
- Your move date and address
- What kind of truck or container you have (or plan to rent)
- Approximate number of rooms or items
- Any stairs, elevators, or tight spaces we should know about
- Any specialty items — pianos, safes, large appliances
From there, we'll recommend the right crew size for your job and confirm your booking. Most labour-only jobs are handled by 2 movers. Larger homes or jobs with specialty items may need a crew of 3.
No deposit is required to book. We accept cash, credit card, cheque, or e-transfer. You pay for the time worked when the job is done — no surprise charges, no add-ons you didn't ask for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Our crew arrives with the equipment needed for your job — dollies, furniture pads, moving straps, and hand trucks. You don't need to supply any moving equipment. If your job has specific requirements, let us know when you book and we'll make sure the crew is prepared.
Yes — that's exactly what our labour-only service covers. You rent the U-Haul (or any other truck), we send a crew to load it for you. We work with U-Haul, Penske, Budget, and any standard rental truck or trailer. Call (204) 296-2223 for a free quote.
A 2-bedroom apartment in Winnipeg typically works well with 2 movers for a labour-only job. If you have a lot of furniture, stairs with no elevator, or specialty items like a piano or safe, we may recommend a third person. We'll give you a straight recommendation when you call.
Yes. We do one-end-only jobs regularly. If you've already loaded the truck yourself and just need help at the destination, we'll send a crew to unload. Same goes for the reverse — loading only, with you handling the unload. Book just the hours you need.
You pay for the actual time worked. If the job runs longer than estimated, we keep going and bill the extra time at the same rate. We'll give you an honest estimate upfront — if something looks like it'll run long, we'll tell you before we start.
We recommend booking as early as you can, especially for weekend or end-of-month dates — those fill up quickly in Winnipeg. That said, we do take last-minute requests when we have availability. Call (204) 296-2223 and we'll let you know what we can do.
Yes. Moving a piano, gun safe, or other specialty item as part of a labour-only job is something we do. Our crew has the equipment and experience for it. Let us know about specialty items when you book so we can plan accordingly and bring the right gear.
