Backloading: Sydney to Canberra
When it comes to relocating from NSW to the ACT, the expense can be high enough before you add in the cost of hiring removalists. Fortunately, Transcorp Removals & Storage offers a low-cost alternative to traditional removals. Our backloading from Sydney to Canberra involves your items being placed in a truck that’s being used for another job. Ideal for smaller loads, backloading is a great way to save money on transportation.
As well as your items being moved in a truck carrying the items of another client, backloading can also involve moving your goods in a truck that’s making its return journey to your destination. If you’re making the move from Sydney to Canberra, this means you would use a truck that’s dropped off its load in Sydney and is ready to return to Canberra. This ensures the truck won’t be wasting its trip, as it will be carrying your items rather than returning empty.
Leave the Heavy Lifting To Us
With 35 years of industry experience, Transcorp Removals & Storage is a leading choice when it comes to backloading removals. Our professional removalists pride themselves on the level of service they provide to clients, ensuring all belongings are handled with care to minimise the risk of damage. We also use itemisation for all backloading jobs so you can be sure all your items will arrive safely at your destination.

Satisfied Customers About our Moving & Storage Services
I had 3 men from Transcorp come upload my personal belongings yesterday. Can I say, they were the most friendliest, professional, happy, workers who also took pride and dealt with my furniture with care. Thank you to Rocky, Lincoln & Faga you made it such a stress free day and nothing was a problem for you. I hope that there are no damages to my property once it is unloaded.
Giovanna Lucano
Excellent service. Communication was good (thanks Lilly), on time, efficient and the two men who moved the furniture, and everything else, were positive and friendly. No criticisms at all. David from Bayside
David Perry
Nick & Tom from Transcorp did a brilliant job for our move – we’ve used other removalists in the past, who were all ok, but honestly our experience with Transcorp was exceptional. We had a big interstate move, and it went really well, thanks to these guys. Fast, efficient, experienced, and everything moved with care – I can’t praise the guys enough!
Mr Claytron
We moved from Sydney to Melbourne and used their storage for about 2 months. The pick-up, storing and redelivery are all smooth particularly the guys that did our redelivery, fast and professional. Would recommend Transcorp.
We recently engaged Transcorp Removals & Storage for a complex relocation project at Alfred Health. Operating within a live hospital environment, the team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and efficiency in a coherent and well-structured manner. Every phase of the removal was executed with precision, reflecting their experience working in a live environment. Transcorp's strategic planning for the storage and subsequent relocation post-construction was seamless, providing us with complete confidence in the process.
Very happy with the service I received , I was short delivered one package, but when realised, the guys kept in touch with me & got it to me as quick as possible. Great service, I would recommend Transcorp to friends & family. Special thanks to Lilianne Addamo she made the whole process so easy & was an absolute pleasure to talk to. Thanks 🙏
Could not have asked for better service and nothing was too much trouble for anyone concerned with my move interstate. All care was taken of my belongings and e writhing went smoothly thank you to all who Made my move easy especially Lily who guided my every step. Thank you all again
I am writing to express my thanks to Kristie Sexton at Transcorp. Her proactive, thoughtful and warm service level, is the best I have experienced in some time. Supportive, helpful, over-and-above, and even when at the conclusion of a week's worth of quoting and a last-minute change, which resulted in the job not being possible, there was only further support in providing a recommendation. I hope the team at Transcorp know how lucky they are to have you!
From the first point of contact arranging the booking for our furniture removal from Melbourne to Brisbane, the service received was friendly, prompt and professional. The whole process flowed through without any issues. Having used Transcorp in the past and with the same experience, I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a smooth operation. Thanks Transcorp!
Excellent experience with Transcorp from start to finish - my move was from Melbourne to Perth including my car. I gathered several quotes and apart from value for money, the service given by Katrina was efficient and thorough which gave me confidence, this was then supported by Sammy the removalist (best ever) and the car transport was effortless, all happened with "military precision". Very grateful to everyone - it's hard when your older and have to watch the budget and doing by oneself - service with a heart!
Andre, Heitor and Lukus were absolutely lovely. A pleasure to deal with, unbelievably hard working and took amazing care of all of our belongings. They went above and beyond. They made a couple of long stressful days a lot easier to manage.
I recently moved from QLD to SA and just can't recommend Transcorp Removals highly enough. From the very first phone call to get a quote, right through to the uplift and then the drop off......everything went exactly to plan - special mention to Liliana who took me through the whole process step by step so patiently and kindly - your coordination skills are second to none, and you made a 'difficult' move, just happen - Thank you so much.
Then to Eddie and Lucas from Ready Movers who did the uplift, it was a long job as they had to pick up from 2 different locations, but they were so professional and courteous and in good spirits all the way through, I'm still in awe of how beautifully you packed the truck - you were both amazing!
Many thanks also, to David and your team, Julio, Caio, Didgo, & Daz, from Ready Movers who did the drop off, again - a long tedious move with many trips up in a very small lift, but everyone was so polite and obliging with my goods and I really appreciate the care taken to put things where I wanted them. You all did a fantastic job - I'm so impressed and wish I could give you 10 stars!.
"Transcorp Removal and Storage was fantastic to work with! Their team was professional and efficient, handling our transport needs with ease. The customer service was friendly and approachable, making the whole experience great from start to finish. Highly recommend!"
Transcorp expertly uplifted my entire home for a move from the mainland to Tasmania. They packed everything with care, and the uplift team were cheerful and considerate. Transcorp also arranged the move for my cat and dog via their partners, JetPets. For what was undoubtedly a very stressful situation for both of our beloved pets, they arrived with minimal stress and have settled in well to our new home. The unloading team in Tassie were also extremely quick and efficient. All of our belongings arrived perfectly packed and not a single breakage. Transcorp were great value, and their back of house admin team are super responsive and helpful. Special shout out to the Lynnes (both operations Lynne, and accounts team Lynne), at Transcorp, and Mandy at JetPets for being so helpful and answering all of my (many) questions. 10/10 would definitely work with Transcorp again.
Thank you for moving us, always friendly, on time, careful, and fast. Andre, Lucas, Ariely did an amazing job. Highly recommend all 3 of them! Thank you!!
Transcorp Removals did a fantastic job from start to finish. They provided boxes to help me pack, carefully removed and stored my furniture and belongings so I could have my floorboards sanded and polished, and then returned everything in perfect condition. The team was professional, friendly, efficient, and took great care with my things. I’m very happy to recommend their services – great service, great team!
Felipe Brito and Victor Godoy were most professional in completing our relocation. They were kind, courteous and considerate. Highly recommend this team.
Lynne from Transcorp and the removal crew made our interstate move happen so smoothly especially as it happened just post Cyclone Alfred. Adam and his offsiders worked well both at pickup and set down and we were able to move into our new home the same day. Thanks again.
Thank you for the positive experience In a very overwhelming time of juggling furniture to be moved out with a fast settlement. The booking process was very friendly, professional and helpful, as were the removalists on both the picking up and dropping off end interstate. They handled the furniture with care which is always one of the biggest worries with choosing a removalist. The plants were even transported in the right way to not be affected by being in a closed in space. Thanks Transcorp for helping make a stressfull process easier.
The boys that picked up and delivered my furniture were very friendly and professional. I had no problems with anything. All furniture arrived as advised in same condition. Thank you guys. Have no problem in recommending them at all
From the moment I first enquired about my moving interstate communication either by phone or email was prompt and informative. Collection of my furniture and delivery was great with no problems either end. Thank you transcorp will definitely use them again if needed.
My experience was an amazing one Right from booking and moving . My items were more than the truck capacity and within a day It was arranged for a second pick up.All items got all my items in great condition. I give a 10star to all the team members,Liliana such an amazing person ,as well as the removals guys on site. I must say Transcorp team is an amazing team Thank you so much 🤗
Couldn’t have been happier with Transcorp for our interstate move! They were flexible and accomodating as our needs changed and did a fabulous job packing our belongings for us to make the move stress free and easy. Everything arrived in perfect condition and their staff were friendly, courteous, and respectful
Transcorp helped us move from Brisbane to Canberra. It was an unsupervised pickup from a storage unit with delivery to another storage unit. Their call staff were super helpful and the removalists at the end were incredible, great with the furniture and boxes and putting up with us pulling boxes out that we needed as they unloaded. The only reason for 4-star instead of 5 is that our shipment was delayed (with good reason) but we had to follow up and find out where our things were over several phone calls. Would still highly recommend for making interstate moves as easy, professional and well priced as possible!!
From the initial meeting with Paul the Sales Manager to the pick-up guys and delivery, they were wonderful. It was an Interstate move and budget was a definite priority, we didn't have a lot of stuff for people over 60 but other companies quotes, were double or more from Transcorp's quote. I would use Transcorp again in a heartbeat for their efficiency, friendly and professional response to our move.
Furniture was picked up when they advised it would. Shane in Qld couldn't have been more patient trying to contact my son to make the delivery. Thank you Shane for your perseverance.
I recently moved with Transcorp Removals, and I can confidently say they went above and beyond to make the experience smooth and stress-free. As a wheelchair user, I had specific needs and concerns, but their team was incredibly accommodating, professional, and attentive to every detail.
From start to finish, they handled everything with care, ensuring my belongings were safely transported and placed exactly where I needed them. The team was punctual, friendly, and highly efficient, making what could have been a stressful day so much easier.
I highly recommend Transcorp Removals to anyone looking for a reliable moving company, especially if you have accessibility requirements. Thank you for making my move a seamless and positive experience!
I couldn't rate Transcorp less than 5 stars. From first contact their customer focus really stood out, and it continued through our relocation and to top it off a personal phone call after all was completed just to check in. If you are looking to relocate and need top-class transport and service, don't hesitate to give the team at Transcorp a call.
Our move from Boronia to Parkville was very smooth and stress-free. The movers were very efficient and friendly. They went above and beyond to make sure all furnitures and boxes are delivered in good order. We're impressed!
The team arrived on time in Melbourne and, despite it being stinking hot, were lovely and efficient in loading and they wrapped the furniture well. A week later another friendly and efficient team delivered to me in Hobart at the arranged time. Good communication and and the price was 40% of what two other companies had quoted.
Thank you for your excellent customer service, transport and communication with me during my major move from Melbourne to Qld. It was a very emotional time for me and Transcorp made the move so much easeir than I expected. Thank you to the drivers as well, so professional and friendly. Everything has arrived in good order and I thank you for that. I would definitely recommend Transcorp for anyone considering removalists.
Very easy to deal with. They were more than happy to price match for me as well to make sure I got the best deal. They were also happy to answer any and all questions I had.
Unfortunately I was unable to proceed with my freight booking due to circumstances beyond my control. I DO however want to impress upon management how great my experience has been going through with my 'order' as far as I was able. Katrina has been an awesome ambassador/representative for this business and I will most definitely be recommending Transcorp to any and all who may need your services. Of course Transcorp will be my only call in the future for my own freight needs. Katrina is thorough, polite, delivers excellent follow up contact, is clear about any and all details of the booking process and really just makes it all so easy.
John and the team at Transcorp were more than helpful in organizing and carrying out a very complex office/furniture removal From Sydney CBD to Melbourne Warehouse. Very helpful and very professional at both ends of the job.
Professional from the start ,arrived as scheduled and straight into loading the Van,never missed a beat. Courteous to us and gentle to our furniture. Moved from bush back to big smoke and the removalists unphased by challenges of parking the Van close to new residence. Again took it in there stride. First Class Effort by Peter and hard working side kick Chris. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Melinda and jimA
