Business Bay
Moving Access Guide
Everything about loading bays, vehicle access, and building permits for moving in Business Bay’s high-rise towers.
Loading Bay Access in Business Bay
Most Business Bay towers have a designated loading bay — a separate vehicle entrance from the main lobby entrance — for moving trucks, delivery vehicles and contractors. This is where your moving truck will park and where furniture is moved in and out of the building.
Loading bay access in most Business Bay towers must be pre-approved. You cannot simply arrive with a moving truck and expect to use the loading bay. Building security will ask for a move permit or a vehicle pre-registration reference before granting access.
What We Coordinate for Your Move
Vehicle Pre-Registration
We register our truck with building security in advance, providing vehicle details and move date. This ensures the gate is open for us on the day.
Loading Bay Time Slot
We book a time slot for loading bay use — most buildings limit truck access to 3–4 hour windows to manage shared usage.
Move Permit
We obtain the move permit from building management — this authorises the move and is presented to security on the day.
Move Time Restrictions
Many Business Bay towers restrict moving to specific hours — typically early morning on weekdays (often 8am–12pm or 9am–1pm) and sometimes specific weekend hours. Evening and late-night moves are generally not permitted. When we confirm your move, we will advise the exact time window available for your specific building.
We Handle All Building Access Coordination
Share your building name and move date. We coordinate loading bay access, vehicle permits and the service elevator booking on your behalf.
