Job ID: JAN2208302026 ( Residential Relocation ) - What This Move Involved
Get Movers Winnipeg MB establishes itself as a reliable moving company in the region by executing precise logistics for this delicate residential relocation. This move from Downtown Winnipeg to Minto focused on efficient handling during the harsh January freeze. Moving trucks parked at Surface Lot #24 off Smith St were dispatched at 08:15 AM to ensure movers reached the Downtown residence on Assiniboine Ave on time for the 08:30 AM start.
The move progressed smoothly, navigating the one-way street systems of Downtown, utilizing Portage Avenue to connect westward, and entering the Minto community via Erin St and Minto St. All items were loaded in a clean, balanced sequence to prioritize efficient unloading, ensuring a stress-free delivery at the new home. Despite the ambient temperature of -22°C, we activated our 'Thermal Shock Protocol,' using heavy-duty wool blankets inside the heated home before exiting to prevent the antique varnish on the client's display cabinet from cracking due to rapid thermal contraction.
Efficient Entry-Room Access
Planning for the tight Downtown apartment layout allowed for a careful "lift-and-slide" pivot of the tall wooden display cabinet, avoiding all contact with the door trim despite the narrow clearance.
Fragile Item Protection
The client's fine porcelain dessert plates were wrapped one-by-one in cushioned sleeves and placed upright in reinforced divider crates, ensuring the fragile rims survived the drive to Minto intact.
Balanced Load Sequence
Items were loaded in a clean, balanced sequence to maintain stability on icy Winnipeg roads, ensuring priority cartons were staged perfectly for the quick drive.
GPS Route Track - Job ID: JAN2208302026
GPS Track: Utilizing Portage Ave and Erin St to ensure safe heavy-truck transit on Priority 1 ploughed routes during winter conditions, avoiding narrow unploughed side streets.
Local Expertise: Downtown Access & Minto Delivery

This is exactly what the team at Get Movers has been doing for the last 12 years.
Winnipeg Winter Logistics
Our crew planned around the extreme wind chill factors common in downtown wind tunnels, ensuring the truck was positioned to minimize exposure time during loading at Assiniboine Ave.
Minto Residential Delivery
Controlled unloading ensured a smooth delivery into the Minto residential setting, managing the transition from the truck to the home with calm efficiency despite the snow-packed curbs.
Temperature Control
Proven residential moving techniques allowed our team to maintain a steady pace despite the -22°C weather, avoiding rushed decisions and ensuring consistent, polite service throughout the relocation.
How we handled it
Once the initial walkthrough of the Downtown residence was complete and the plan for the entry-room cabinet confirmed, our movers followed a structured, step-by-step process designed to eliminate last-minute changes and ensure reliability.
Protection & packing
- Full furniture wrapping: The wooden display cabinet was protected immediately before loading, utilizing heavy-duty padding to prevent scratches or damage during the transfer from the apartment to the truck.
- Fragile item safety: Porcelain dessert plates were identified early and packed into reinforced divider crates with cushioned sleeves, ensuring they remained secure and upright throughout the move.
- Secure load stability: Items were packed tightly and securely within the truck to withstand the drive along Portage Ave, preventing shifting during transit to Minto.
Moving method
- Calm & steady pace: The team maintained a calm pace throughout the day, ensuring no rushed decisions were made, particularly when maneuvering the cabinet through the entry room.
- Clear communication: Communication remained consistent from start to finish, keeping the client informed and ensuring the move remained structured and organized.
- Logical unloading: By loading items in a clean sequence at Downtown, the unloading process at Minto was simplified, allowing for efficient room-by-room placement.

What Our Client Said About This Move
"I was dreading my move in Winnipeg—leaving my old apartment where I’d lived for years felt heavier than all the boxes combined. Get Movers showed up, and it wasn’t just the physical work that mattered; it was how they handled everything as if they understood I was attached to this place. They didn’t rush me, they paused to make sure fragile items were safe, and they even joked with me to lighten the mood. By the time my furniture was set in the new apartment, I felt a weird sense of closure. It wasn’t just a move—they made the transition feel thoughtful, human, and surprisingly comforting."
