Parking on moving day
We register the stopping place for the removal van outside your house free of charge with the responsible office in Arbon. This is especially worthwhile in the old town with its narrow lanes. The authority charges you the fee directly.
Disposal and bulky waste
We load worn-out furniture and bulky waste from your Arbon flat onto the van on moving day. We charge CHF 65.– per m³ plus the labour separately, so you save yourself a separate trip to drop it off.
With our moving service, you don't need to: we take it away directly during the move – CHF 65.– per m³ plus labour. View disposal
Moving Costs Arbon
Moving in Arbon: cost factors from the old town to Frasnacht
Arbon is around 64 km from Wallisellen as the crow flies and can be reached via the feeder road to the A1; we charge the journey as working time. Within the small town area, the neighbourhoods differ greatly: narrow lanes in the old town, an elevated position in Bergli, an industrial area in Scheidweg, and former villages such as Stachen and Frasnacht. The stopping place and a furniture lift have a direct effect on the workload. Your quote arrives within 24 hours.

Arbon at a glance
Arbon on Lake Constance: a peninsula with six neighbourhoods
For us, Arbon is not just a dot on the map but a real place of work with its own routes, access roads and neighbourhoods. Arbon lies on a spur-shaped peninsula on the southern shore of Lake Constance, between Romanshorn and Rorschach. Arbon is connected to Romanshorn and Rorschach every half hour by the lakeside railway line and has had a motorway feeder road to the A1 since 1993.
As a moving company for Arbon, we also handle moves in the districts of Altstadt, Bergli, Süd-Quartier, Scheidweg, Stachen and Frasnacht – with the same planning and the same guide prices. As a moving company, we also plan moves from Arbon to a neighbouring municipality such as Egnach, Roggwil TG and Steinach SG from a single source. Arbon belongs to the district of Arbon in the canton of Thurgau.

Getting to know Arbon
Moving company Arbon: six neighbourhoods on the lakeside peninsula
Arbon sits on a spur-shaped peninsula on the southern shore of Lake Constance, bordered by water to the north and east. At 6.1 km², the town's area is small, yet Arbon is the third-largest town in Thurgau after Frauenfeld and Kreuzlingen, with 16,354 inhabitants (as of 2024). A lot of town in a small space: for a moving company in Arbon, this means planning stopping places and routes carefully.
Every neighbourhood with its own character
The town is divided into six neighbourhoods that differ considerably when it comes to moving house:
- Altstadt (old town): central, medieval and criss-crossed by many narrow lanes
- Bergli: slightly elevated on the hill of the same name, at around 430 m above sea level
- Süd-Quartier: former workers' estates such as Neustadt, Bleiche and Stacherholz, now growing fast
- Scheidweg: Romanshornerstrasse, the Nordwest industrial area and rural land
- Stachen and Frasnacht: formerly independent, merged into the town in 1998
In the old town, we determine the stopping place and carrying route during the viewing and arrange the parking reservation. In Bergli we check the access, and for upper floors without a lift we plan a furniture lift if needed. The Scheidweg neighbourhood also contains a nature reserve of around two square kilometres along the lakeshore; for addresses on the edge of town there, we clarify access in advance.
Industry in the south and north-west
Various industries have settled on the southern edge of town, most notably the manufacturing site of Saurer AG. There is also the Nordwest industrial area in the Scheidweg neighbourhood. For businesses, our removals team handles the office move outside business hours, so that production and offices keep running on the next working day.
Roman fort and castle tower
Arbon was originally called Arbor Felix, «happy tree». The late Roman fort stretched from the southern tip of the Bergli to the lakeshore, and the Arbon-Bleiche 3 pile-dwelling settlement has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011. Today, the castle and its tower are regarded as the town's landmarks. Around the historic old town, the town has for some years been trying to divert through traffic between Romanshorn and Rorschach; we time the loading accordingly.
A feeder road to the A1 has existed since 1993, and our base in Wallisellen is around 64 km away as the crow flies. Arbon lies within the catchment area of the city of St. Gallen and borders Egnach, Roggwil TG, Steinach SG and Berg SG. We are therefore just as happy to handle a move to Egnach, act as your removals company for St. Gallen or manage a move along the lake to Rorschach. Your moving company in Arbon sends you a quote within 24 hours.
Questions about Arbon
Do you also carry out removals in Arbon's old town with its narrow lanes?
Yes. Arbon's old town is medieval in origin and criss-crossed by many narrow lanes. We determine the stopping place and carrying route during the viewing, arrange the parking reservation and use a furniture lift if necessary.
Are Stachen and Frasnacht part of your service area in Arbon?
Yes. Stachen and Frasnacht used to be independent municipalities and now form two of Arbon's six neighbourhoods. Stachen has grown together with Arbon, while Frasnacht is set somewhat apart; we clarify access individually for each address.
Local moving logistics
Moving in Arbon: from the old town to Frasnacht
On the Arbon peninsula, medieval lanes, a hilltop neighbourhood, growing workers' estates and a separate village lie close together. For your move this means we adapt the stopping place and vehicle to each street.
Old town with traffic-calmed lanes
The town wants to divert through traffic out of the medieval centre, and many lanes are narrow. A large lorry rarely stands right outside the door there; we plan for shorter vehicles, longer carrying distances and a reserved stopping place.
Bergli on the hill
The neighbourhood sits on the Bergli hill at around 430 m above sea level, slightly above the old town. During the viewing, we clarify beforehand whether the access road is wide enough for our van and where it can stand while loading.
Süd-Quartier: Neustadt, Bleiche, Stacherholz
According to Wikipedia, the former workers' estates have a high growth rate. If you are moving into a newly built flat there, we take particular care to protect floors and the lift; in older buildings we check whether bulky furniture has to go up by furniture lift.
Frasnacht, set apart
Unlike Stachen, Frasnacht has not grown together with the town. For a move between Frasnacht and the centre, we factor in the drive between loading and unloading.
Parking reservation
If the removal van in Arbon needs space on public ground, we apply for the reservation with the responsible office in Arbon. This step is particularly important in the old town; any fees are charged directly by the authority.
Disposal
Small quantities and recyclables are best taken to your municipality's collection point yourself. If more is left over after the move, such as an old sofa or worn-out shelving, we dispose of it properly for CHF 65.– per m³.
B2B
Office relocations in Arbon's industrial areas
The Saurer AG manufacturing site is on the southern edge of town, and the Nordwest industrial area is in the Scheidweg neighbourhood. For businesses there, we plan the office move outside business hours, with files moved as an archive relocation if requested.

Frequently asked questions
Questions and answers about moving house in Arbon
Who is in the flat with the property management at the handover inspection in Arbon?
If you have booked final cleaning, our cleaning team attends the handover to the property management. If they still find a spot, for example on the oven or the window frames of an old-town house, we touch it up immediately at no extra cost. You sign the handover report yourself and hand over the keys against a receipt.
How does a move from Arbon across the cantonal border to Steinach SG work?
Like a short local move, just with two responsible municipalities: we arrange the stopping place in Arbon and the one in Steinach with the respective local office, and the authorities charge the fees directly. One team loads, drives the few minutes across the border into the canton of St. Gallen and reassembles the furniture on the same day.
Where does my furniture stay if the new flat in the Süd-Quartier only becomes available later?
It is kept in our furniture storage facility in dry, climate-controlled conditions and under alarm protection. Billing is based on volume and duration. On move-in day, we collect the furniture again, drive it to the new address in Arbon and assemble it there, so you do not need a temporary solution with friends.
When is a Saturday moving date a good idea for commuters on the lakeside railway line?
Whenever you commute to Romanshorn, Rorschach or St. Gallen during the week: we charge no surcharge for Saturdays. That way you do not lose a day of holiday and have Sunday to unpack. Because Saturdays are in high demand, it is best to reserve the date as soon as you receive the quote.
What applies to an address in Scheidweg near the lakeshore nature reserve?
There we first clarify the municipal boundary, as the nature reserve in Scheidweg extends partly onto Egnach territory. Depending on the exact address, a different office may be responsible for the stopping place. We submit the application to the right municipality and choose a spot for the van on the nearest public road.
What solution is there for businesses in the Nordwest industrial area that can hardly afford downtime?
A move in the evening or at the weekend, staggered by department: first we move files and stock, then workstations, servers and measuring instruments as an IT and laboratory move with padded packaging. There is no Saturday surcharge. This allows the workshop and office to start operating in the new building on the following working day.
What should you consider if the new flat is on the lakeside promenade near the castle?
Above all, the route from the van to the front door: around the castle and promenade, the removal van cannot pull up directly everywhere. During the viewing, we determine where it will stop and how many carriers are needed to keep the move running smoothly. In older buildings, we add extra padding to banisters and stairs.
