Commercial Moving

Are you a business or non-profit moving to a new location within Winnipeg? Do you need help re-configuring your workspace?

Our crew has extensive experience in relocating businesses and organizations to their new space and will ensure that the process is as smooth and stress-free as possible. Need to get rid of any unwanted items during the move? No problem! If they are in good condition, we’ll make sure to give them a new home by donating them to local non-profits.

This was our second commercial move with RaY, and both times the experience has been excellent from start to finish. Booking with Lauren was a breeze, and Carlos and his crew did such a great job on moving day. They arrived right on time, well-prepared, and careful, and kept in touch throughout the day. The service is also super-affordable.

Carrie, Take Pride! Winnipeg

Communities 4 Families hired RayWorks to move our office and stored items from one location to another on March 1, 2023. The whole process from start to finish was a positive experience for us. The crew was on time, personable, and very hard working. We would definitely recommend RayWorks to anyone needing a move- great rates, accommodating staff, and a crew that provides great service!

RaY Works was just the company I needed to help me clean out a house and garage. The crew of three removed a truck load of furniture, and boxes of junk from inside the house as well as the garage. They were very capable and professional and finished in a timely manner. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to have "stuff" removed or moved.

RaY Works partners with the Level Up! Education and Training program to provide supportive work placements for youth coming out of classroom training. This is where they learn life-skills and train to become work-ready. During their time with RaY Works, youth receive wrap-around supports while learning important on-the-job skills.

We offer free moving supports for the RaY Housing department, which works with youth to access safe and secure housing. With these supports, RaY Works helps to ensure precariously housed youth don’t exist into homelessness and are able to keep their essential pessessions.
