Job ID: JAN2208302026 ( Mixed-Use Relocation ) - What This Move Involved
This unique relocation from a commercial rental near Annacis Island to a family home in East Newton required a versatile approach. Get Movers moving trucks, staged at the nearby Strawberry Hill Shopping Centre parking lot, were dispatched at 08:15 AM to ensure the crew arrived at the Annacis Island commercial park promptly for the 08:30 AM start. Our movers began with a critical assessment of the loading bay to strategize the movement of heavy workshop equipment alongside delicate household goods.
The move presented logistical challenges typical of Annacis Island's industrial layout, including a narrow side ramp with limited turning space. Once loaded, the truck navigated the route via Highway 91, crossing toward Surrey and exiting onto 64th Ave to reach the residential quiet of East Newton along 144 St. Despite the potential for heavy congestion near the Alex Fraser Bridge, traffic stayed light. All items, including a massive tool cabinet and fragile décor, arrived safely, demonstrating why Get Movers is the preferred choice for complex Surrey relocations.
Tight Ramp Navigation
The Annacis Island loading area featured a tight, narrow side ramp. Our crew carefully maneuvered a long tool cabinet down this path, using stabilizing straps to ensure zero slipping despite limited turning space.
Precision Sofa Pivot
At the new East Newton home, a wide sofa threatened to block the stairwell. Using a precise tilt‑and‑pivot technique, the team cleared the railing without dismantling it—a feat the client initially thought impossible.
Dual-Nature Protection
Balancing heavy workshop gear with delicate household items, the team individually wrapped all fragile home décor before loading, ensuring they remained safe next to the heavy metal equipment during transit.

Local Expertise: Annacis Logistics & East Newton Residential Access
Relocating from the industrial zones of Annacis Island to the residential pockets of East Newton requires expert movers who understand Surrey’s mixed landscape. From navigating commercial loading docks off Derwent Way to managing parking near the schools along 144 St, our team adapts to these distinct environments instantly. This local adaptability is what Get Movers has refined over the last 12 years in Surrey.
How we handled it
Once the walkthrough of the Annacis Island rental was complete, identifying both the heavy workshop gear and the fragile household items, our movers initiated a dual-phase loading strategy designed for safety and balance.
Protection & packing
- Stabilization Strapping: The heavy tool cabinet was secured with industrial ratchet straps immediately upon loading to prevent it from shifting and crushing lighter items during the drive along Hwy 91.
- Individual Décor Wrapping: Fragile home décor pieces were individually wrapped in bubble wrap and moving blankets, then placed in a designated 'safe zone' within the truck, separate from the heavy workshop equipment.
- Floor Defense: Neoprene runners were deployed at the East Newton home entrance to capture winter grit, protecting the flooring while the crew moved back and forth.
Moving method
- Tilt-and-Pivot Technique: Faced with a wide sofa and a tight stairwell railing in East Newton, the crew utilized a calculated tilt-and-pivot maneuver, rotating the sofa on its vertical axis to clear the obstruction by inches.
- Ramp Management: At Annacis Island, the long tool cabinet was guided down the narrow side ramp using a two-man spotter system to ensure it didn't clip the edges or gain too much momentum.
- Immediate Setup: Upon arrival, the team prioritized setting up the main living space first, assembling key furniture so the family could begin settling in immediately while the workshop gear was moved to the garage.
