Most moves do not become exhausting because too much has to be carried. They become exhausting because nobody knows exactly what happens when. We turn that around: before the day itself you know how many people are coming, what they start with and roughly when your flat will be empty.
Gerber Transport is based in Winterthur and moves people across the canton of Zurich as well as Thurgau, Schaffhausen and St. Gallen. From a studio to a detached house, with or without packing, with or without the final cleaning — you decide the scope, we organise the sequence.
What you see on the quote is what you see on the invoice. We work with a fixed price rather than hourly billing, so that a move which takes longer than expected does not become your problem.
The times are guide values for a 3.5-room flat with a lift. For larger flats everything shifts later, but the order stays the same.
The team positions the vehicle, protects the stairwell and door frames, and walks through the flat with you: what comes along, what stays, what is fragile.
Wardrobes, beds and tables are taken apart and labelled. Large items go into the vehicle first, boxes fill the gaps — that is what keeps the load stable.
Cellar, attic, balcony and garage. Exactly the places most often forgotten when people plan a move themselves.
Drive to the new address. On longer distances this is when the team takes its break — included in the price, not billed on top.
Furniture to its place first, boxes into the right room. That is what the labelling is for: what belongs in the bedroom ends up there, not in the hallway.
Furniture is reassembled and we take the packing material away with us. At the end we walk through the flat together.
Between the viewing and the moving day you have one fixed contact person. If something changes — a date moves, a wardrobe is not coming after all — one call is enough and the plan is adjusted.
The less that still has to be decided on moving day, the calmer it gets. This list covers what should be done in the days before.
We only name a binding figure after the viewing, because volume accounts for most of it. The levers are always the same, though, and two of them are yours.
| Factor | Why it counts | What you can influence |
|---|---|---|
| Volume | Determines vehicle size and team strength | Sort things out before the move — we handle the disposal |
| Accessibility | Lift, floor, carrying distances, narrow access | Secure a loading zone early |
| Packing | Working time before the move itself | Pack boxes yourself, choose a partial service |
| Extra services | Cleaning, disposal, storage, furniture lift | Order only what you actually need |
| Date | Month end and holiday periods are in demand | Mid-month is usually easier to plan |
The price includes the vehicle, the crew, blankets and load security, and the insurance. Packing material, cleaning, disposal and storage are listed separately, so you can see what each extra actually costs.
We look at the flat, record the volume realistically and give you a fixed price. Without obligation — and without you having to measure anything beforehand.
