Granny Flat & Shed Moves · Perth
Old shed off the slab, new shed in the corner, neither one rolling on a tilt tray. Lift it, drive it, place it.
How it works.
Sheds and small portable buildings are deceptively annoying to move. They're too rigid to disassemble cleanly, too heavy to lift by hand, and too tall for most tilt trays once you account for tray height plus building height. HIAB handles them properly — lifted onto the truck, driven to the new location, lifted off into position.
Standard residential sheds (Stratco, Absco, Spanbilt — typically 3x3m to 6x4m) sit comfortably on a HIAB. Bigger workshop sheds and small granny flats up to about 4x6m fit too, depending on internal weight (loaded sheds are obviously heavier than empty ones). Anything bigger usually needs to come apart for transport.
Common scenarios: moving a shed across the same property (slab change, new build, landscape redesign), relocating between properties when someone moves, or shifting a granny flat that's been outgrown. We can also do the lift-only version where you've already arranged the truck — just need a crane at one or both ends.
For granny flats and dongas, council approval for relocation is your job, not ours. Once the paperwork's sorted, the lift is straightforward — though we usually want photos of both sites to confirm reach and access before booking.

FAQs.
Will my shed survive the lift?
If it was built properly and isn't already structurally compromised, yes. We use spreader bars and slings rated for the load, and we lift slowly. That said, very old or rotted sheds sometimes don't hold together — worth flagging if you're not sure.
Do I need to empty the shed first?
Strongly recommended. The lift is harder, more expensive, and riskier with the shed loaded. Anything heavy inside shifts during transport too.
Can you do the move in one trip?
Yes — lift off the slab, drive across, lift onto the new spot. One callout, one fee. Both sites need clear access for the truck.
What about granny flats and dongas?
Up to about 4x6m and 5 tonnes, yes. Bigger than that usually needs a specialist house mover with multi-axle trailers. Send the dimensions and weight when you quote.
