What is half lorry load moving in Singapore?
Half lorry load moving means your items take around half the space of a moving lorry. It is popular for room moves, small HDB moves, studio apartments, partial home moving, office item transfers, storage pickup and customers who only need to move selected furniture.
At Tip Top Movers, half lorry load moving Singapore starts from S$188. For larger moves, a full 15ft lorry load starts from S$300 and usually comes with experienced movers and suitable manpower planning.

What can fit in a half lorry load?
A half lorry load is usually enough when the move has limited bulky furniture and a moderate number of boxes. Examples may include a mattress, small cabinet, TV console, study table, office chair, several cartons and loose bags. It is also useful for customers who are moving from one rented room, moving items to storage, or shifting only part of the house.
Half load is usually suitable for:
- Small room moving or tenant moving.
- Studio apartment or light HDB moving.
- Moving selected furniture only.
- Small office equipment or document boxes.
- Moving items into short-term storage.
Full load is better when:
- You have sofa, beds, dining set, wardrobe, fridge, washer and many boxes.
- Your move includes a full HDB, condo, landed or office relocation.
- You want fewer trips and better moving day timing.
- You have bulky items that take space even if the item count looks small.
Why some half load moves become full load
Many customers underestimate loose items. Clothes, kitchenware, toys, small appliances, plants, shoes and bags can fill a lorry quickly when they are not packed into boxes. Bulky furniture also takes more space than expected because movers must protect items and stack safely.
This is why Tip Top Movers recommends checking the full item list before confirming the package. If you need carton packing, our box packing service Singapore helps reduce loose items and makes loading faster.
