Not only will we help ship your heavy equipment and machinery, we will also help plan your transportation project from start to finish.
We have project managers well-versed in local laws and regulations as well as best practices for ocean freight. And our local moving crews will help find the most time-effective road routes for transporting your equipment.
Project planning and paperwork
Moving your heavy equipment to and around Hawaii is a vastly different task than doing so on the mainland. Not only is the topography different from island to island (and also within each island), but there are often road closures, construction, or other events (both natural and manmade) that can severely inhibit the ability to move oversized or heavy cargo.
Read MoreOur locally experienced project managers will work with you to establish route plans over sea, land, and air, and ensure that all necessary permits and escorts are in place.
We have years of experience in this specialized type of moving and will identify any challenges — those that may arise ahead of time, and those that may arise virtually without warning during transit — and be able to provide optimal solutions to meet your needs.
We can serve as a project manager, shipper, unloader, and installer. And if there’s a task along the way that we can’t handle ourselves, we have a network of subcontractors, such as crane operators and other specialized service providers, that we can partner with to ensure your every need is met.
What our
Customers are saying
They showed up early and immediately got to work. They accounted for all our items and safely and gently unpacked them in the desired rooms. They also removed all the packing material quickly and efficiently. I was happy with their performance and professionalism.-Matthew C
They were so efficient, careful and professional! I'm a local girl, my husband is military and he's been through numerous moves but, Nino and his team was the best movers he had! Like true local style, we had to get these guys some breakfast bentos from Zippy's to show gratitude for moving our things with such care. I hope when we receive our household good here in Washington, I hope to have a team like Nino, Raymark and Brayden to help us with our things. Thank you guys for all your hard work!-Eriel V.
Having dealt with various moving companies and their crews in the past 30 years, I can confidently say that this crew from Royal Hawaiian Movers was exceptional. They worked tirelessly for a whopping 12 hours, displaying an incredible work ethic. It was evident that they took great pride in their work and were dedicated to ensuring the safe transport and unpacking of my belongings.-Coleman Skillingstad
I was beyond impressed with Royal Hawaiian Movers and the exceptional job they did with our delivery/unpack. Communication prior to the delivery day was wonderful and the crew was on time, courteous, and efficient. They were careful with our things and asked where I would like items placed. Before they left, they made sure there wasn't anything else I needed and made sure nothing was damaged. During a time of PCS stress, Royal Hawaiian Movers was a beautiful breath of fresh air! I would highly recommend them to anyone.-Sarah Grabill
From the first phone call for an estimate to the last handshake, our moving experience from O'ahu to Big Island was a positive experience. We don't own a lot of expensive stuff, but the movers treated everything like it was fragile treasure. Layers of communication, efficiency, punctuality, kindness, respect, and professionalism were greatly appreciated. Our move was virtually stressless!-Nancy Campbell
I recently relocated from Germany to Oahu and entrusted Royal Hawaiian Movers with the daunting task of transporting my 10,000 pounds of household furniture to my new home. I am thrilled to say that they exceeded my expectations in every way possible, and I wholeheartedly give them a well-deserved five-star rating!From the moment they arrived, the Royal Hawaiian Movers team impressed me with their friendliness and professionalism. They genuinely cared about ensuring my satisfaction and repeatedly asked for guidance on where items needed to be placed or moved. Their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile truly stood out.-Coleman Skillingstad
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. From the first contact, the phone call to arrange delivery to the delivery itself, Royal Hawaiian could not have been more friendly or more accommodating. When our schedule did not allow a planned two day delivery, our contact at Royal Hawaiian checked with her manager and arranged for 5 people to be assigned to get the unpacking done in one day. The crew we had was so friendly and helpful. Who hugs their movers when they are done and ready to leave. From placing furniture where WE wanted it to piling boxes in the garage for us to go through at our leisure, every request was met with a smile and 'an of course we can do that.' For anyone moving from the mainland, we would recommend having Royal Hawaiian be part of your delivery team at this end of your journey.-Jack H.

Royal Hawaiian Movers are the best it gets. They are great to work with, and make a hard job easier. They are organized and funny and believe me, I have crossed the ocean more than once with them. Only moving company I would use! A big shout out to Liane for calming my nerves. -Pheobe D.
The Gents were fast and efficient. They handled all of our possessions with care and were able to finish ahead of schedule. They catered to our requests and made sure we were all set before leaving. Highly recommend their services. -Santana P.
The Royal Hawaiian crew who packed and loaded our household goods were outstanding. They were courteous, fast, and responsive to any concerns we had. We would definitely use them again. Customer service called every day to make sure our experience was a good one. Michael B.
Royal Hawaiian Movers did an excellent job packing our household goods. They answered all my questions and when they were unsure of specific things that needed to be packed, they made sure to ask before doing anything. They were professional, quick, efficient, and organized. Donna M. Honolulu, HI
Royal Hawaiian Movers delivered our household goods from the East Coast and they did a wonderful job. We were very pleased with the professionalism, timeliness, and overall work. They treated our belongings with care and were very helpful and personable throughout the entire process. Caitlin N.
Storage and removal services
If oversized equipment storage during your move is required (e.g., the bulldozer has arrived, but the project doesn’t start for another two weeks), we can assist with this as well with multiple storage facilities across all four major Hawaiian islands.
In addition to transporting your heavy equipment across the ocean and getting it safely to its final destination, we can handle “clean-up” as well, facilitating the removal and transportation of old equipment locally or anywhere in the world.
