What We Offer
Our services are designed for walkable streets, period homes, and the vibrant mix of shops, cafés and residences here.
Why Red Arrow Logistics
This neighbourhood has character, blended architectural styles and traffic patterns that change quickly. We adapt every move to suit these local conditions.We protect your items and your property by using care methods suited to heritage interiors, delicate finishes and ornate external features. Our team takes the time to wrap, pad or cover fragile mouldings, decorative plaster, balconies and doors before moving begins.
We also assist with logistical permissions. Many moves here require council permits, parking approvals or adherence to heritage regulations. We advise you, help arrange required permits and plan routes that reduce risk and delays. To maintain high standards we provide:
- Trucks sized for tight streets and narrow drives
- Soft protective materials for floors, walls and furniture
- Equipment such as stair-climbers, hoists and compact dollies
Reliability is central to what we do. We arrive as scheduled, communicate every step and ensure things are clean and correct when the move is complete.
Coverage Area
We service all of Prahran, including parts near Chapel Street, Greville Street, High Street and adjacent pocket suburbs such as Toorak, Windsor, Armadale and South Yarra. Interstate relocations from this suburb are also supported when needed.
Moving Process: What to Expect
Moves often need creativity because of narrow laneways, heritage streets, tram routes and busy pedestrian zones. At Red Arrow Logistics we organise each move to suit the context, timing and access.
First we conduct a detailed assessment, either in person or via video, to identify how items will be moved, which doorways or stairs are involved, where parking and loading zones are, and what restrictions apply. That lets us tailor the plan to your property.
On moving day you can expect:
1. Initial walkthrough
Our team arrives, checks key access points, confirms what needs moving and fine-tunes arrangements with you.
2. Protection phase
We cover floors, door frames, stairs and other surfaces. Fragile or ornate features are wrapped or cleared where possible to avoid damage.
3. Loading carefully
We use protective equipment, plan the sequence of loading heavy or bulky items and ensure safe packing in the truck to avoid shifting.
4. Mindful transport
We avoid high-traffic times and tram lines wherever possible. Our drivers choose routes that are efficient but also respectful of inner-city characteristics.
5. Setup and review
At your destination we place furniture in your chosen rooms, reassemble as required, clean up, and walk through with you to confirm everything is in good order.
We aim to make your move feel organised, stress-free and handled with care from the first contact to the final placement.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we arrange removal of packaging materials and clean up at the end. Just let us know beforehand so we include it in the plan.
Can furniture be moved during heritage or permit restrictions?
In many cases yes. We understand heritage overlays and council restrictions. We help organise permits if required and schedule moves during allowable times.
Is there additional charge for tight staircases or lifts?
Sometimes yes. If access is restricted by stairs, lack of lift or narrow hallways, those are factored into your quote up front so there are no surprises.
