Half Lorry Load Moving Singapore: S$188 or Full Load?

Planning a small move and not sure whether to book a half lorry load or a full 15ft lorry? This guide explains how half lorry load moving Singapore works, what fits inside, when a full load is safer, and how to avoid surprise top-ups on moving day.

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.

Best tip: send clear item photos on WhatsApp before booking. Photos help our team confirm whether your move is half load, full load, or needs more than one trip.

Half load vs full load moving price

Package Starting Price Best For
Half lorry load S$188 Room move, small HDB move, studio move, partial furniture move, small office transfer.
Full 15ft lorry load S$300 Larger HDB, condo, landed house, office move or many boxes and bulky items.
Packing service S$8 per box Content packing using new carton box, newsprint and bubble wrap.
Storage support From S$168 Temporary storage when renovation, handover or lease dates do not match.

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.
