DLM Removals and Storage

Shop Fitters Transport – Reliable Logistics for Retail Contractors

As a shopfitter, you are juggling drawings, trades, centre management and tight handover dates. The last thing you need is a truck that turns up late, in the wrong dock or with damaged fixtures. DLM Removals & Storage provides dedicated shop fitters transport so you have a logistics partner who understands how retail projects actually work on the ground. We support shopfitters working on single stores and national rollouts across Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra and major regional centres.

Our crews combine the skills of shop fitting removalists, retail furniture movers and commercial carriers, giving you a single point of contact for shop fitting transport, storage and delivery into live sites. This page sits alongside our broader shop fitting transport services, shop fitout transport and retail fixture delivery pages as part of a complete shopfitting logistics solution.

Transport Support Tailored to Shopfitters

Shopfitters need more than a simple pickup and drop-off. You need shopfitting logistics that flex with your programme, centre access rules and the reality of working around other trades. DLM builds transport plans around your schedule, including early mornings, nights and weekends, so fixtures arrive when you and your team are ready for them.

  • On-call shopfitters delivery service for urgent runs and last-minute changes.
  • Regular runs from warehouses to multiple sites as projects move from strip-out to install.
  • Support for live store refurbishments where store renovation delivery must be tightly controlled.
  • Integration with store setup logistics so trades, fixtures and merchandise all arrive in the right sequence.

Because we work with shopfitters every week, our crews are familiar with loading docks, hoists, back-of-house corridors and centre management requirements in major centres.

Moving Fixtures, Shelving and Retail Equipment

DLM handles the full range of shopfitting components – from palletised bulk stock to fragile feature pieces. As experienced shop fittings movers, we manage both new and used fixtures for new builds, refits and relocations.

We regularly transport:

  • Gondolas, wall bays and back-of-house racking as part of fixture and shelving transport.
  • Service counters, POS units and custom joinery under our store fixture transport service.
  • Glass showcases, light boxes and branded displays as retail display transport.
  • Tools, equipment and miscellaneous materials via bundled shopfitting equipment transport.

By using removalist-style handling and protection, we keep your fixtures in the condition they left the factory – reducing rework, re-orders and project delays.

Local, Metro and Interstate Shop Fitters Transport

Many shopfitters work across multiple states or regions, following clients as they open new outlets or refresh existing stores. DLM’s national network lets you treat all of your store fitout transport needs as one connected system, instead of juggling different carriers in each city.

Using the same network that powers our commercial furniture transport and interstate removals, we provide:

  • Local metro runs between warehouses and shopping centres in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
  • Interstate moves for complete fit-out packages between capital cities and regional hubs.
  • Multi-drop runs supplying a series of stores during a brand-wide refresh.
  • Backloading options for returning old fixtures to warehouse, disposal or other outlets.

For retailers with stores attached to hotels, clubs or venues, we can also connect your retail work with hospitality FF&E transport so both spaces are fitted out under the same logistics plan.

Storage and Staging for Shopfitting Projects

Projects don’t always line up neatly with manufacturing lead times. DLM can receive, store and stage fixtures as part of an integrated shopfitting freight services solution. That means your suppliers can ship when goods are ready, and you can call them forward when the site is.

Using our storage solutions, we can:

  • Consolidate deliveries from multiple manufacturers into project-based loads.
  • Hold stock securely until tenancy access opens or base-building works are complete.
  • Release fixtures in stages to match your shop fitout transport plan.
  • Combine storage with retail fixture delivery for precise on-site drops.

The result is a smoother workflow for your site crews and clearer visibility for project managers tracking fixtures from factory to floor.

At the end of the day, you want a transport partner who makes your life easier on site. DLM Removals & Storage works as an extension of your team – planning loads, meeting access windows and protecting the fixtures you have worked so hard to design and install.
