Cubic Metre Calculator

Start with your cubic metre figure — 4T holds about 18m³, 8T about 40m³, 12T about 60m³. Then check whether your street can physically take that truck. In the inner north and inner west the street frequently sets a lower ceiling than the volume does, and two legs in a smaller truck is the practical answer.

Usually 30m³ to 45m³ including the garage, which suits an 8T or 10T. Melbourne homes with a double garage and a shed sit at the upper end more often than people expect.

Often not. Fitzroy, Carlton North, Brunswick, Seddon and Spotswood have narrow streets with permit parking on both sides where a 12T cannot legally stop. We size down and run a second leg, which is faster and cheaper than carrying fifty metres from a legal spot.

Yes, particularly through Canterbury, Balwyn, Blackburn and similar canopy streets in the east. Significant tree overlays mean branches cannot be trimmed for access, so the truck has to fit under what is there.

Yes. Easy Peasy Removals is accredited by the Australian Furniture Removers Association — the industry's professional standard. AFRA members are audited on training, equipment, insurance and practice. You can verify our membership at afra.com.au.

Every move includes public liability and goods-in-transit insurance covering damage or loss during transport. For items of exceptional value we can arrange additional coverage — mention them when you enquire.

Yes. Quality moving boxes, tape, bubble wrap and protective materials delivered before your move. You can also add a full packing service so our team does the wrapping and boxing.

We move pool tables, home gyms, oversized furniture, garage workshops and most heavy household items. For concert-grade pianos, fine art or wine collections, tell us at enquiry so we can recommend the right transport method.

The item volumes are industry averages, so the total is usually within 10-15% of what you'd get from a precision walkthrough. It's more than accurate enough to pick the right truck size. Your final quote refines the number using the details you provide at booking.

Round up. A single trip in a slightly larger truck is always cheaper than a smaller truck plus a second trip. Our team also has to leave headroom for packing efficiency — an item that measures 2 m³ isn't 2 m³ of usable truck space once it's wrapped and stacked around other things.

Measure it in metres (length × width × height) — the answer is your m³ figure. A cupboard 1.8 m tall, 1.0 m wide and 0.6 m deep is 1.08 m³. If you'd rather not measure, just describe the item when you enquire and our team will add it in.

Cubic feet is the imperial unit — 1 m³ is approximately 35.3 cubic feet. Australia has been metric since the 1970s, so removalist quotes here are almost always in cubic metres.

Yes. Boxes make up a surprising amount of a household move — often 5-10 m³ once you factor in kitchen, wardrobe, and general boxes. The calculator has line items for large, medium, small and wardrobe cartons.

Add them via the calculator (piano is in Living, pool table is in Outdoor & garage) so your volume estimate is right. Note that these items are also priced as specialist add-ons in your quote — the volume covers truck space; the add-on covers the dedicated crew and equipment.
