From rack-mounted servers and network switches to desktop workstations, UPS units, and multifunction printers, Ashville Removals moves the full range of office technology with the precision that sensitive electronics packing, foam-lined cases, and purpose-built IT trolleys at every stage. Every cable is labeled before disconnection and reinstalled in the correct configuration at your new address, protecting your data and eliminating setup guesswork. Operations resume the same day as the move, staff disruption is minimal, and all IT hardware is covered under full goods-in-transit insurance Melbourne-wide.
All IT equipment, including servers, computers, and network devices, is fully insured from the moment it is packed at your current premises through to reinstallation at the new address. Goods-in-transit insurance applies to every electronic item with no exclusions for fragile or high-value hardware.
Every cable, port, and connection point is labeled and tagged before any device is disconnected. This ensures that every workstation, server, and phone system is reconnected in the exact original configuration at your new office. No additional charge, no guesswork, no call to an external IT contractor.
Every IT relocation quote is provided in writing before any booking is confirmed. The price quoted is the price you pay; there are no additional fees for equipment volume, cable complexity, or building access requirements. You know exactly what the move costs before the team arrives.
Moving furniture is personal. That antique dining table you inherited, the wardrobe you saved three months to buy, the custom-built lounge suite that finally made your living room feel like home — handing these pieces over to strangers is an act of trust. We understand the anxiety that comes with it, and we take that responsibility seriously on every job we accept.
At Ashville Removals, every member of our furniture removalist team is background-checked and formally trained in professional furniture handling techniques. We arrive equipped with padded moving blankets, shrink wrap for upholstered items, furniture sliders for delicate floors, and stair-climbing trolleys for navigating tight access points. Our trained furniture specialists know exactly how to move every item from a glass-top dining table to a solid jarrah wardrobe without leaving a single mark.
Our furniture moving service covers greater Melbourne from end to end: Melbourne CBD to Frankston, Hawthorn to Werribee, Richmond to Point Cook, and every suburb in between. Whether you need a single lounge suite relocated across the street or an entire household of furniture moved to a new property on the other side of the city, we bring the same level of professional care, full insurance coverage, and protective equipment to every job. Read on to learn exactly how we work and why Melbourne trusts us with their most valued pieces.
From everyday household furniture to specialist items others refuse — our Melbourne furniture removalists are trained and equipped for every job.
Rack-mounted servers, network switches, routers, patch panels, and UPS units require handling that goes well beyond standard freight. Each unit operates as part of an interconnected system, and that relationship must be preserved through the move. Every device is photographed and catalogued before disconnection, packed in foam-lined cases or original manufacturer packaging where available, and transported in an upright position to protect internal components and drive arrays. All cables are tagged individually and bagged per device so that the network infrastructure can be restored in exact configuration at the new address.
Desktop workstations, tower PCs, and all-in-one computers are wrapped individually in anti-static material before being placed in padded moving boxes. The outer box alone is not sufficient protection for sensitive internal components. Each unit is tagged to its monitor, keyboard, and peripheral cables so that reconnection at the new office is accurate and immediate. Multi-screen setups are fully disassembled, monitor arms removed from desk mounts, screens padded separately, and every cable labeled and coiled with its corresponding monitor.
Portable devices are catalogued by user or asset tag number before packing, placed into individual padded sleeves, and transported in secure hard-shell cases. Laptop screen damage from stacking pressure is one of the most common move-day incidents when devices are bulk-packed together. Individual sleeves prevent this entirely. Chargers, docking stations, and accessories are labeled and packed with their corresponding device so that every employee receives their complete setup at the new address.
Large office printers, multifunction devices, and commercial copiers are heavy and fragile and require careful preparation before any movement. Toner cartridge removal is mandatory, drum units must be secured internally, and scanner mechanisms must be locked to prevent feed roller dislodgement during transport. Floor-standing copiers weighing between 60 and 150 kilograms are moved using specialized printer trolleys with tilt mechanisms, never manually lifted or dragged across floors.
Private Automated Branch Exchange (PABX) phone systems, VoIP handsets, video conferencing units, large-format displays, and projectors require careful dismantling to avoid connector damage and screen breakage. Each AV component is padded and secured individually; projector lamp housings are padded separately and transported in hard-shell cases, and large-format displays over 55 inches are transported vertically to prevent panel delamination. All mounts, brackets, and AV switching hardware are labeled with both input and output connections before disconnection.
Many modern offices combine furniture and technology in a single workstation unit: height-adjustable desks with built-in cable management, monitor arms fixed to desk frames, and under-desk server cabinets where the furniture and the IT infrastructure are inseparable. The team treats the full workstation as one unit: documenting the complete configuration, safely dismantling both the technology and furniture together, and reassembling the workstation at the new address in exactly the same layout so that each employee returns to a familiar working environment.
Every step of our furniture moving process is designed to eliminate the risk of damage. Here’s exactly what we do — from pickup to placement.
Before any cable is unplugged or any device touched, the team photographs the full setup and creates a numbered IT asset inventory for every piece of equipment on-site. Pre-move photography captures cable routing, monitor positioning, and peripherals. Combined with the written inventory, it creates a chain-of-custody record that serves two clear purposes: it gives your business a documented record of every item and its pre-move condition, and it ensures that every device is reconnected in exactly the right configuration at the new address. No missing components, no guesswork.
Every cable, port, and connection point receives a numbered tag before disconnection. This cable labeling system applies to servers, workstations, multi-screen setups, phone systems, and all AV equipment. Port-level documentation records which cable connects to which port on which device, preserving the configuration that your IT team built. Devices are then powered down following a proper shutdown sequence: edge devices first, then access switches, then servers because data corruption from an improper shutdown affects not just the device itself but any networked storage it was actively writing to at the time.
All electronic items are wrapped in anti-static packing materials before contact with any standard packing. This prevents electrostatic discharge (ESD), which damages circuit boards and internal components during transit without leaving visible evidence. ESD damage is invisible at the time of the move and typically manifests weeks later as intermittent hardware failures, which is why standard packing materials cannot be substituted. Servers are individually boxed in foam-lined equipment cases. Screens are wrapped in foam and transported vertically. No two electronic items share packing space unless a full foam divider separates them.
At the destination, every device is placed in its designated position and reconnected using the labeling system created during disconnection, ensuring exact configuration replication without the need for an IT contractor on-site. Network connectivity testing confirms that each reconnected device has a valid IP address and can reach the network gateway before the team leaves, catching cabling errors before an employee discovers them. The goal is same-day IT operational capability: the move is planned specifically to make this outcome achievable, and the team works alongside your IT coordinator where required to validate the setup before sign-off.

IT and office equipment moving is one part of Ashville’s complete commercial relocation offering; full-service business moving is available for every aspect of your transition.
Ashville’s local commercial moving service covers complete office relocations, furniture, equipment, fit-out items, and IT infrastructure for businesses of any size across the entire Melbourne metropolitan area.
For businesses relocating from Melbourne to Sydney, Brisbane, or Adelaide, Ashville provides dedicated interstate commercial moves with a full truckload for the complete office IT equipment included and handled to the same specialist standard.
The same team that performs your IT relocation is available for a full packing service, specialist packing of electronics, IT hardware, fragile office equipment, and filing systems, completed before move day so that disconnection and loading proceed without delay.
Answers to the questions Melbourne homeowners ask most before booking a furniture removalist so you can move forward with complete confidence.
IT equipment relocation is priced on an hourly basis depending on the truck size and team selected, ranging from $140 to $240 per hour. A small 10-workstation office typically requires 3 to 5 hours; a 50-workstation office with server room relocation may require a full day with the XL team. All rates include the truck, the team, specialist packing materials, and full insurance. Written quotes are always provided before any booking is confirmed.
Yes, the team is trained and equipped to relocate rack-mounted servers, network switches, UPS units, and full server cabinet frames. Each unit is documented, safely powered down in the correct sequence, packed with foam protection, and transported upright inside the truck to protect internal drive arrays. Reinstallation and basic connectivity testing at the destination are included as part of the service.
Cable disconnection and reconnection is a core part of the service, not an add-on. Every cable and connection port is tagged before disconnection, and the same tags guide accurate workstation reconnection at the new office. The result is that every device is back in the correct configuration without your business needing to call an external IT contractor. No IT contractor required means no extra cost and no scheduling delay.
Full goods-in-transit insurance applies to all electronic equipment from the moment of disconnection through to reinstallation at the new address. Public liability insurance is also carried for any incidental damage to the premises during the move. Written insurance documentation is available before any booking is confirmed; request it when you receive your quote.
Ashville offers evening and weekend IT relocations specifically designed to eliminate business disruption. Minimal business downtime is the planned outcome, not an afterthought. Most mid-size office IT moves are completed on a Friday evening through Saturday, with the business fully operational by Monday morning. All scheduling is coordinated with your IT manager or office administrator.
Minimal preparation is required on your side; the team handles the full disconnection, IT asset inventory, and packing process. As a general best practice regardless of who is relocating your equipment, completing a full data backup before the move date is strongly recommended. You should also confirm building access details for both premises and designate one point of contact to coordinate with the move team on the day.
The service covers all five metropolitan Melbourne regions across more than 35 suburbs: CBD, Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern. Key service areas include Melbourne CBD, Hawthorn, Camberwell, Dandenong, Werribee, Frankston, Ringwood, Richmond, and Broadmeadows. Call directly or submit the quote form at the top of the page to confirm availability and scheduling in your specific suburb.
IT equipment relocation is a specialist discipline, not general removals applied to expensive hardware. The risks are different in kind, not just in degree. Electrostatic discharge damage from contact with standard packing materials can destroy a circuit board without leaving a scratch on the casing; configuration loss from an incorrect shutdown sequence can corrupt a database that took years to build. Standard moving materials do not meet the anti-static requirements that sensitive electronics demand, and the proper shutdown sequence for a server environment follows a specific dependency order that a generalist removalist is not trained to execute. The difference between a trained IT equipment specialist and a general removalist is the difference between a business that is operational on Monday morning and one that is troubleshooting hardware failures two weeks after the move.
The service is suited to the full range of commercial business types: law firms with document management servers and secure client file storage, accounting offices scheduling their move around low-transaction financial periods, call centers with 100-seat PABX configurations, creative agency IT environments with multi-GPU graphics workstations and NAS storage arrays, medical practice relocation involving patient management systems and imaging workstations, and co-working space relocations managing shared network infrastructure. The service scales to fit both ends of the spectrum: a small business IT move with 5 to 10 staff and a large corporate relocation with 100 or more workstations follow the same systematic process, adjusted for team size and equipment volume. A pre-move site assessment is recommended for relocations involving more than 30 workstations or a full server room and is coordinated by your assigned move coordinator before the move date.
Each precinct in Melbourne presents distinct logistics requirements for commercial IT relocation. Melbourne CBD and Docklands office buildings require freight elevator scheduling and advance loading dock coordination. Some buildings restrict freight access to specific windows and require building manager notification before the move date. Richmond’s converted warehouse offices have narrow freight access points that require a pre-move site assessment for larger relocations. Hawthorn and Camberwell in the east include a mix of Victorian-era buildings and modern developments where access varies significantly by address. Werribee and Point Cook in the west offer purpose-built loading facilities but require precise scheduling given the distance. Frankston and Dandenong in the south are among the most active IT relocation destinations in Melbourne’s southeast, with industrial loading docks that accommodate large equipment moves efficiently. Broadmeadows and Campbellfield in the north are common destinations for scaling businesses, where IT infrastructure is often installed fresh in a new layout. Council parking permits for large trucks in CBD streets are organized in advance at no extra cost to the client.
Before committing to any office IT removal services provider, five criteria will tell you what you actually need to know. First, verify that the company carries electronics-specific insurance goods-in-transit coverage that explicitly includes electronic items, not just general moving insurance that may exclude fragile hardware. Second, confirm they have a documented IT asset inventory and asset-tracking process; a company that cannot account for every item before and after the move creates unacceptable risk. Third, ask specifically whether anti-static packing materials are used. The correct answer names ESD bags, foam-lined equipment cases, and anti-static wrap, not just ‘padded blankets.’ Fourth, require a written quote before confirming any booking; any provider unwilling to put the price in writing before the move is a risk to your budget. Fifth, confirm that reconnection and basic operational testing are included in the service, not billed as a separate line item, a move that ends with equipment stacked in your new office is half a service. Ashville meets all five criteria as standard, with written documentation available for each point before any booking is confirmed.
