Quick Answer: Apartment movers in South Jersey trust Aron Movers for licensed, insured apartment and condo moves throughout Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester Counties. We send Certificates of Insurance directly to building managers on request — which most buildings require before they’ll approve a moving crew at all. Buildings typically issue elevator reservations in three-hour windows, though every building sets its own policy. Tell us the window yours gives you and we’ll plan the crew and truck around it.

The moving work itself is largely the same as a house move. Same wrapping, same care, same crew. What changes is the logistics around the building.
Three things make an apartment or condo move different:
None of that is complicated when it’s planned. It goes wrong when nobody plans it — which is where most bad apartment move days come from.
This is the part most people don’t know until the week of the move, so here it is plainly.
You reserve the elevator, not us. Your building management office handles it, and they’ll want to hear from you — the resident — not from your moving company. Call them as soon as you have a move date.
Reservations are typically three-hour windows, often starting around 9:00 AM — but every building sets its own policy, so ask yours specifically. Whatever window you’re given is what everything else gets built around: how many movers we send, what time we arrive, how we stage the load.
You’ll almost always be assigned the service elevator. It’s usually larger, it can be padded for protection, and it keeps the move out of the way of other residents. Some buildings require a key or a staff member to operate it, so ask when you book.
Your building will likely require a Certificate of Insurance before they approve anything. More on that below.
Across most of our South Jersey service area, truck parking is straightforward — lots and driveways are generally accommodating, and street parking is usually workable.
Two things are worth checking anyway, because they’re the ones that cause problems:
Overhead clearance. Our truck is 26 feet long and needs 13 feet of vertical clearance to reach a loading dock or drive under a covered entrance. A lot of garage-level docks and parking structures are posted lower than that. If our truck can’t get under, we carry from wherever we can park instead — which still gets the job done, but it lengthens the carry and adds time to the move. Check the posted clearance at your building’s dock and tell us the number when you book.
Street space. A 26-foot truck needs a real stretch of curb, not a parking space. If your building doesn’t have a dock or lot access, take a look at where a truck could realistically sit and mention it to us — we’d rather solve that on the phone than on move day.
On most moving company websites, “licensed and insured” is a line of text nobody reads. In an apartment building, it has a hard consequence.
Buildings will only reserve the elevator for a moving company that is licensed and insured. Management needs a Certificate of Insurance naming the building before they’ll approve a crew to work in the property. No COI means no approval. No approval means no elevator reservation. And with no elevator reservation, your move day does not happen — you’re standing in the lobby with a loaded truck outside and a service elevator nobody will unlock.
This is the practical reason not to book an unlicensed crew off a classified ad for an apartment or condo move. It isn’t only about what happens if something breaks. It’s that they cannot get you through the front door.
Aron Movers is licensed by the State of New Jersey (NJ Lic. #39PM00033600), with MC 568794 and NJDOT 757960. You can verify any New Jersey mover’s license through the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs Regulated Business License/Registration Search — we’d encourage you to check ours, and anyone else’s you’re considering.
We send Certificates of Insurance to building managers on request. Give us the building’s name and the management contact, and we’ll handle it directly with them.
Senior and 55+ buildings usually have stricter move rules than standard apartment buildings. Many don’t allow weekend moves or block the midday hours, so check with management before you pick a date. For downsizing, second stops, and everything else these moves involve, see our senior moving services.
Our crews are employed directly by Aron Movers. We don’t use day labor and we’re not a broker handing your move to whoever’s available. The same standards apply to a studio apartment as to a five-bedroom house.
We also give you a guaranteed pickup and delivery date — not a multi-day window. When your building has given you a three-hour elevator slot, a “sometime between Tuesday and Friday” delivery estimate is useless to you.
We handle apartment, condo, and senior-living moves across Camden County, Burlington County, and Gloucester County — including Cherry Hill, Collingswood, Haddonfield, Voorhees, Mount Laurel, Marlton, Moorestown, Deptford, and Washington Township.
Aron Movers is based in Oaklyn, NJ, serving Collingswood, Cherry Hill, and all of Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester Counties since 1958.
No. Most buildings will only approve a moving company that is licensed and insured, and they’ll require a Certificate of Insurance before granting elevator access. An unlicensed crew generally cannot get the elevator reserved at all, which can stop a move before it starts. Aron Movers is licensed in New Jersey and sends COIs to building management on request.
You do. Your building management office handles elevator reservations, and they’ll want to arrange it with you as the resident. Call them as soon as you have a move date, then let us know the window you’ve been given so we can plan the crew and arrival time around it.
Typically three hours, often starting around 9:00 AM — but every building sets its own policy, and some offer multiple slots in a day. Ask your management office for their specific rules, then tell us the window you’ve been given. We size the crew to the job so the move fits it.
Our truck is 26 feet long and needs 13 feet of overhead clearance to reach a dock or covered entrance. Many garage-level docks are posted lower than that. Check the clearance sign at your building and let us know the number — if the truck can’t get under, we’ll park where we can and plan for a longer carry instead.
Typically no. Most buildings require movers to use the service elevator, which is usually larger and can be padded to protect the walls. Ask your building whether the service elevator needs a key or staff member to operate — some do.
Yes. Give us the building name and the management office contact, and we’ll send the COI directly to them. Most buildings ask for this before they’ll approve a move, so it’s worth requesting early.
Possibly. Many senior and 55+ buildings prohibit moving on weekends, and some block midday hours so residents can get to the dining room. Standard apartment buildings sometimes have restrictions too. Always check with management before setting a date — it’s the most common scheduling surprise we see.
Not automatically. Cost is driven by how much you’re moving and how long the work takes, and long carries from a unit to the elevator to the truck can add time even on a small apartment. For a breakdown of what drives moving costs in this area, see our South Jersey moving cost guide.
