What is Share Load Furniture Removals ?
Cape Removals have a national infrastructure with large trucks that have the capacity to carry multiple households and loads. We have pooled our resources and logistic routes to offer efficiency and more affordable removal pricing for all our customers that need small to large household removals. This means we coordinate our removal trucks on major roads between Cape Town – Knysna – Jhb, PTA and KZN. The objective of the coordination is to maximise our space efficiency on our tracks traveling between Cape Town and Knysna or between Johannesburg and Plettenberg Bay. Each truck can accommodate approximately 3 large 5 bedroom houses but 90 % of our customer’s loads requirements are half or smaller than the average-sized 5 bedroom household.
Knysna Share Load is a great way for our clients to move their goods nationally using our coordinative share load network. With share loads, you can benefit from drastically reduced fees that are shared by multiple clients using available space on a truck that is already headed for your target destination. Share loading is cost-effective and efficient long-distance furniture removal service.

FAQ About Shareloading
Negatives of a Share Load Furniture Removal
The cost savings are significant and worth the effort but this service does require a comprehensive coordinative effort in order to collect and deliver multiple loads. The truck is large and faces many challenges like traffic and accessibility issues whilst going to multiple addresses to collect and deliver our client’s furniture. Clients are asked for a little more flexibility and patience when it comes to scheduling requirements when moving their furniture between regions and provinces.
- Slightly longer turn around time due to multi moving collections
- Collection – The truck takes 2 to 3 days to collect all the loads from various suburbs in the province(from between 2 to 15 clients)
- Traveling Time between provinces can take a few days depending on the route – If you are moving between Cape Town and Jhb then traveling time can take anything from 2 days to 4 days depending if there are offloads on route. Traveling time between Jhb and KZN can take anything from 1 to 2 days
- Offloading – It will take another +- 2 to 3 days to offload all our clients
- Scheduling is dependent on the multiple addresses, we would like our trucks to spend as little time a possible in the traffic and we also schedule the loads according to areas. We don’t want to load in Centurion, then Alberton and then have to go back to Centurion.
- Scheduling is coordinated to avoid rush hour traffic times
- Flexibility from our clients is required to accommodate the schedule, variations can happen
- The risk of large trucks running into traffic delays and loading/offloading accessibility challenges are more. Complexes and cities are one of our biggest challenges and that’s why we ask our clients to please detail the accessibility at both addresses so we can understand our time challenges for more accurate scheduling
- There is an Increased turnaround time by a few days due to the multi collection and delivery addresses involved which does make it difficult to schedule in advance.
