Company information

Richard L. DeWitt knew Hawaii needed a moving company like no other. The business had to be unique, much like the geography of each of the four islands. That's why he founded Royal Hawaiian Movers in 1982. In its more than forty years of operation, this company has moved people across Honolulu and all areas of Oahu. It also has local offices in Maui, Hilo, Kona, and Kauai. This means its team can move you to and from any city in the Hawaiian Islands. This infrastructure allows them to relocate 40,000 customers per year. It makes this fourth-generation family company one of the largest in the state of Hawaii. Its professional movers help families, individuals, offices, and businesses. They also assist in senior citizens, military, and corporate relocations. Additionally, they'll transport your vehicle and offer you storage if needed. However, if you're a business owner in need of logistics solutions, Royal Hawaiian Movers can help, too. They can manage your supply chain and provide freight services, special crating, trucking, and drayage. They can help with other services, including warehousing, distribution, and installations. Whether what you need is help with your commercial or residential moving needs, Royal Hawaiian Movers has you covered.
