Port Kells sits in northeast Surrey, on the south bank of the Fraser River, with Walnut Grove in Langley right next door to the east. Highway 1 cuts straight through it, and that one line splits the whole place in two. North of the highway is industrial: warehouses, distribution centres, light-industrial bays and business parks. South of it is rural acreage, the Tynehead edge, and a quieter pocket of homes. We know both sides, and most of what we move out here is commercial.
The industrial north is the busy part. Port Kells Industrial Park, the wholesale and distribution lots, the manufacturing shops, the strata warehouse bays around 187 and 188 Street. Costco runs its Western Canadian distribution centre out of here. When a business this far up needs to move offices, shift a warehouse, or run a dock-to-dock job, that’s our lane. We’re 5.0 on Google with 336 reviews, and we book commercial work the same care we book a house.
Highway 15, the Pacific Highway, runs north-south as 176 Street and clips west Port Kells before it hits the Highway 1 interchange at Exit 53. That road is the freight route to the US border crossing, with thousands of trucks a day rolling through. It means access here is built for trucks, which is good for a moving company, but it also means traffic windows and timing matter. We plan around the freight flow so your load isn’t stuck behind a border line.
South of Highway 1 it changes character fast. Tynehead is the neighbourhood name down there, with Tynehead Regional Park sitting on the Serpentine River headwaters near 96 Avenue and 168 Street. Around the park you get acreage homes, long driveways, and rural lots that don’t move like a townhouse. Those properties need a different plan than a warehouse bay, and we bring the right crew and the right truck for each.
We’re based at 8567 164 Street, a short run from the Port Kells corridor. That keeps our drive time down whether you’re loading a warehouse bay or clearing an acreage property near Tynehead Park. We’ve handled trust moves for names like IKEA, Cozey and Samsung, so commercial logistics and tight delivery windows are normal for us.
Most moves up here are commercial, and that changes everything. A warehouse or office bay in the Port Kells Industrial Park comes with loading docks, roll-up doors, and a building manager who wants the move booked into a window so it doesn’t block the bay next door. We coordinate dock-to-dock, work after-hours when a business can’t shut down mid-day, and crate the gear that can’t take a bump. Our commercial and office moving crews handle desks, server racks, and shop equipment without stopping your operation cold.
The freight angle is real. 176 Street and Highway 15 feed straight into the Pacific Highway border crossing, and that corridor carries thousands of trucks daily. For a Port Kells job that means staging matters, and so does timing the drive so you’re not crawling behind a border queue. When a business needs gear held between leases, or a phased move over a few days, our moving and storage option keeps the load secure in between. Heavy machinery, oversized pallets, and shop tools get the heavy and oversized item treatment with the right dollies and straps.
South of the highway it’s the opposite problem. Acreage homes near Tynehead Regional Park have long gravel driveways, gates, outbuildings, and sometimes a barn or shop on top of the house. There’s no loading dock and no elevator, just distance from the door to the truck and a lot of square footage. We bring a bigger crew so the walk doesn’t eat your day, and we protect floors and tight farmhouse stairs as we go. Whether it’s a 5,000 square foot bay or a rural property, we scope it first so the plan fits the place.
The strata warehouse bays around 187 and 188 Street, the distribution lots, the manufacturing shops north of Highway 1 – this is the core of Port Kells, and it’s most of what we move here. We run dock-to-dock, line up the roll-up door and loading bay, and book the building’s move window so we don’t tie up a neighbour. Pallets, shelving, shop equipment and server racks get crated and strapped. We’ll work after-hours so your operation doesn’t lose a day to the move.
Plenty of Port Kells industrial buildings carry office space up front. Moving one without shutting the business down takes a plan: label every workstation, keep IT gear together, and stage the load so the new space comes back online fast. We pack the fragile stuff, move the desks and filing, and reassemble at the other end. A lot of these run evenings or weekends so Monday opens clean. We scope the office and warehouse as one job when they share a building.
South of Highway 1, near Tynehead Regional Park off 96 Avenue and 168 Street, the homes sit on acreage with long driveways, gates, and outbuildings. There’s no elevator and no dock, just distance and volume. We send a bigger crew so the walk from house to truck doesn’t drag, protect the floors and tight stairs, and handle the shop or barn gear along with the house. Rural moves out here run differently than a city block, and we plan for the space.

We charge for the actual hours your move takes, broken down for you up front – no padded estimate and never a flat rate. For a Port Kells job, the hours come from a few real things: crew size, whether we’re working a loading dock or a long acreage driveway, how much staging and crating the gear needs, and any after-hours window your building requires. Commercial moves with server racks, shop equipment, or oversized freight take more handling than a straight house load, so we scope it first and tell you what drives the time.
Drive time is part of it too. We’re based at 8567 164 Street, a short hop to the Port Kells corridor, so trips around the industrial parks or out to Tynehead stay tight. If your route crosses 176 Street toward the border, we time the drive around the freight flow so you’re not paying for a crew stuck in a truck line. You see the clock and the breakdown, and you only pay for the hours we work.

We do. Port Kells sits right at the Highway 1 and Highway 15 junction, so it’s a natural launch point for long-distance jobs heading out of the Lower Mainland or down toward the border. We pack, load and run the route, and bill on the actual hours and distance, broken down up front – no flat rate.
