King House Removals History
King House Removals was the longest running house removal company in the South Island when Fred Willis started working for the firm in 1958. A year later, Fred and his wife Jenny bought the house removal business with an eye on setting up a family business for the future.
King House Removals Revolutionised Lifting and Steering Trailers
In 1977 King House Removals designed and built their own specialised hydraulic lifting and steering trailer, after being told by a trailer manufacturer it couldn't be done.
The descendants of this ground-breaking design are now considered crucial items of equipment for any reputable heavy haulage and house removal company, not only in New Zealand, but Australia and the USA.
As long-standing and proud members of the New Zealand Heavy Haulage Foundation, at the 2007 New Zealand Heavy Haulage Conference, Fred was awarded the prestigious Gus Breen Memorial award for his outstanding contribution to the heavy haulage industry throughout the years.
