Job ID: JAN2908452026 ( Student Storage & Relocation ) - What This Move Involved
Get Movers Halifax NS establishes itself as a reliable moving company in the region by executing precise logistics for this student relocation and storage project. This move from Shearwater to Beechville focused on efficient handling during typical January maritime conditions. Moving trucks parked near the Kempt Rd headquarters were dispatched at 08:30 AM to ensure movers reached the Shearwater residence on Hines Rd on time for the 08:45 AM start.
The move progressed smoothly, navigating the coastal winds near 12 Wing Shearwater, utilizing Main Rd to connect to the Circumferential Highway (Hwy 111), crossing the MacKay Bridge, and entering the Beechville community via St Margarets Bay Rd. All items destined for storage were separated from immediate relocation items, prioritizing efficient organization. Despite the ambient temperature of -8°C and potential salt spray on the bridge, we activated our 'Thermal Shock Protocol,' using heavy-duty blankets to protect belongings from the damp Halifax winter air before secure transport.
Base Proximity Access
Planning for Shearwater's specific layout near the air base allowed for smooth loading and immediate protection of student goods against the high winds coming off the harbour.
Salt & Slush Protection
Floor runners were deployed immediately in both the Shearwater apartment and the Beechville home to protect floors from the winter salt and slush common in Halifax Januarys.
Storage Segregation
Items were loaded in a specific order: storage items first for the facility drop-off, and Beechville essentials last for quick unloading at the new summer residence.
GPS Route Track - Job ID: JAN2908452026
GPS Track: Utilizing Hwy 111 and the MacKay Bridge to ensure efficient cross-harbour transit, avoiding downtown congestion and ensuring smooth delivery to Beechville.
Local Expertise: Shearwater Access & Beechville Delivery
Get Movers Halifax NS defines the standard for local moving services in HRM by utilizing our deep understanding of the area's diverse geography. From the open, wind-swept roads near the Shearwater Aviation Museum to the wooded, winding driveways off St. Margarets Bay Road in Beechville, our team navigates these unique routes with ease. This is exactly what the team at Get Movers has been doing for the last 12 years.
Harbour Wind Logistics
Our crew planned around the high wind chill factors common near the Shearwater base, ensuring the truck was positioned to block wind during loading on Hines Rd to protect the client's papers and boxes.
Beechville Delivery
Controlled unloading ensured a smooth delivery into the Beechville residential setting, managing the transition from the truck to the home with calm efficiency despite the sloped driveway conditions.
Temperature Control
Proven residential moving techniques allowed our team to maintain a steady pace despite the -8°C weather, avoiding rushed decisions and ensuring consistent, polite service throughout the relocation.
How we handled it

- Split-load organization: Items moving to Beechville were kept separate from storage items using dividers in the truck, preventing confusion during the multi-stop delivery.
- Secure load stability: Items were packed tightly and securely within the truck to withstand the drive across the MacKay Bridge, preventing shifting during transit.
Moving method
- Calm & steady pace: The team maintained a calm pace throughout the day, ensuring no rushed decisions were made, which contributed to the safety of the items and the property.
- Clear communication: Communication remained consistent from start to finish, keeping the student informed about which box was going where, ensuring the move remained structured.
