Moving Services in Agassiz Industrial Park, Kent, BC

Costs for moves to or from Agassiz Industrial Park (Kent (Agassiz)) depend on three district-specific variables: truck size and staging near Industrial Way, dock/ramp compatibility at the receiving unit, and any municipal or private-property loading restrictions. In 2025, many service providers quote an hourly local minimum plus travel; for straightforward palletized transfers inside Agassiz Industrial Park timing is often 2–4 hours and charged by the hour. For heavy single-piece machinery or multi-day warehouse clearances originating from Agassiz Industrial Park you should expect flat-rate quotes that factor in rigging, specialty equipment, and municipal permit time. Travel time to/from nearby hubs (Chilliwack, Harrison Hot Springs, Vancouver port) is commonly billed at standard per-kilometre travel or a fixed travel fee. When budgeting, include potential costs for temporary parking/loading permits on Industrial Way, short-term lane closures, and any required crane services — these are common in Agassiz Industrial Park moves and can change a quote by several hundred to several thousand dollars depending on scale. As of December 2025, always request a written site survey for units in Agassiz Industrial Park; documented dock heights, bay widths and turning radii reduce scope creep and hidden fees.

Hourly rates in 2025 for moves that start or end inside Agassiz Industrial Park generally reflect crew size and vehicle class. Small local moves (2 movers, 12-foot or 16-foot cube truck) are typically CAD 150–CAD 220 per hour. Standard industrial moves (3–4 movers plus a 24–26' truck or cube van) average CAD 225–CAD 325 per hour. Moves requiring a flat-deck tractor-trailer, escorts, or specialty rigging commonly push hourly pricing above CAD 350. Flat rates are more common for complex jobs out of Agassiz Industrial Park: a forklift-assisted palletized transfer to Chilliwack may start at CAD 1,200–1,800; a single-piece heavy machinery move that needs rigging, crane lift at the origin dock on Industrial Way, and municipal permits often starts around CAD 2,500–4,500. Always confirm whether quotes include travel time from the mover’s yard to Agassiz Industrial Park and whether mileage charges to destinations such as the Vancouver port are accounted for. Watch for extra fees tied to access constraints on Industrial Way, private-property gate hours, and any temporary bridge weight restrictions that local authorities may impose.

Loading-dock and access conditions in Agassiz Industrial Park are highly unit-specific. Common restrictions include: dock height variance between units (some are low-rise bay doors, others are grade-level drive-in), limited turning radius for tractor-trailers in older parts of the park, private gates with restricted hours (often aligned with tenant business hours) and intermittent staging space on Industrial Way. For every planned move into Agassiz Industrial Park request: (1) dock height measurement (in inches or mm) so ramp plates or dock levelers can be pre-assigned; (2) gate opening and security procedures; (3) staging area confirmation so trucks can legally park while loading/unloading without blocking Industrial Way; and (4) any requirement for traffic control or municipal permits if the move will briefly occupy a public lane. Accurate dock and access data reduce onsite delays and avoid additional crane or ramp rental charges.

Heavy machinery moves that begin or end in Agassiz Industrial Park can be constrained by posted bridge and seasonal weight limits on local municipal roads. While Industrial Way itself handles most local industrial traffic, routes to the highway network may cross municipal bridges or rural roads with reduced load ratings, especially after spring thaw restrictions. Movers working in Agassiz Industrial Park should: consult the District of Kent (Agassiz) public works for current load postings, identify alternate routes that keep heavy loads on designated provincial highways, and budget for overweight or over-dimensional permits if the combined trailer and machine exceed standard axle weights. For 2025 moves, it’s best to obtain a routing confirmation from the mover and a written note from Kent municipal road authorities if escort vehicles or temporary traffic control are necessary.

Service providers that operate in Agassiz Industrial Park typically extend coverage across the broader Kent (Agassiz) area—this includes Harrison Hot Springs, Ruby Creek and nearby Chilliwack. Coverage is usually offered as: (a) local zone service (fixed hourly rates, short travel), (b) regional moves (flat quotes to hubs like Chilliwack or Harrison Hot Springs) and (c) port transfers (to Vancouver port or Delta). Verify whether movers include pickups from residential or constrained sites in Harrison Hot Springs or rural Ruby Creek within the same rate class used for Agassiz Industrial Park; rural pickups may incur additional travel time or mileage surcharges. Many companies simplify billing by offering combined-day itineraries for multiple stops within Kent (Agassiz) to reduce travel fees.

When comparing Agassiz Industrial Park to downtown Chilliwack industrial moves, expect similar baseline hourly and flat-rate pricing for the same crew and truck sizes. Differences arise from: travel distance to the mover’s depot, specific dock and yard layouts (Agassiz Industrial Park often has larger yarded units but more variable dock heights), and municipal permit regimes. Downtown Chilliwack moves may face tighter turning radii and traffic management costs, while Agassiz Industrial Park moves can add costs for longer travel, temporary parking permits on Industrial Way or arranging crane access for single-piece machinery. In 2025, it’s common to see Chilliwack jobs bundled into half-day downtown windows; Agassiz Industrial Park jobs more often require a full-day scheduled slot to ensure sufficient time for site set-up and any permitting coordination.

A practical compatibility checklist reduces downtime on move day. For most Agassiz Industrial Park units: 12–16' cube trucks are best for smaller palletized loads and service visits; 24–26' box trucks balance capacity and yard maneuverability for medium warehouse transfers; 48' straight trucks and 53' trailers require longer yards and wider bay approaches—only use if the site survey confirms sufficient turning radius on Industrial Way. Flat-deck and low-bed trailers are necessary for heavy machinery that exceeds standard box-truck height. Measure: dock height (inches), bay width (ft), yard depth (m) and turning radius (degrees) during a pre-move inspection. When in doubt, schedule a site survey in Agassiz Industrial Park and add a small buffer day for permit pickup or crane scheduling.
