Chapter 54: Icons Moving
Moving Icons
Let me explain very clearly and honestly right from the beginning (teacher mode on):
Font Awesome 5 does NOT have an official “Moving Icons” category.
There is also no “Moving Icons” page on W3Schools for Font Awesome 5.
What usually happens is:
- People search for “Font Awesome 5 moving icons” because they want icons for moving house, relocation services, movers & packers, furniture transport, moving truck, boxes being moved, etc. (especially for moving companies, real estate relocation, logistics, or “moving soon” announcements).
- Google shows results from Font Awesome 6 or 7 (which do have a proper “Moving” / “Household Moving” category added around 2022–2023).
- Or they find old blog posts / CodePen demos that mix FA5 + FA6 icons.
- Or they land on the Font Awesome 6 Moving page and think it’s FA5.
So today I’m going to give you the real, accurate answer for Font Awesome 5 (the version W3Schools still teaches in their FA5 sections in 2026).
1. Moving / Relocation Icons actually available in Font Awesome 5 Free
Font Awesome 5 has no dedicated “Moving” or “Relocation” category.
You can only use general-purpose icons that people repurpose for moving house, movers & packers, relocation services, furniture transport, packing, and moving-related themes. Here are the ones most commonly used for moving designs in FA5 free:
| Icon name | Code example | Looks like | Typical moving / relocation use |
|---|---|---|---|
| fa-truck | <i class=”fas fa-truck”></i> | 🚚 Delivery truck | Main moving truck / relocation truck icon |
| fa-truck-moving | <i class=”fas fa-truck-moving”></i> | 🚚 Moving truck | The most direct “moving house” icon in FA5 |
| fa-truck-loading | <i class=”fas fa-truck-loading”></i> | 🚚 Loading truck | Loading furniture / boxes into moving van |
| fa-box | <i class=”fas fa-box”></i> | 📦 Box | Moving box / cardboard box / packing |
| fa-boxes | <i class=”fas fa-boxes”></i> | 📦📦 Stacked boxes | Multiple moving boxes / packed items |
| fa-suitcase | <i class=”fas fa-suitcase”></i> | 🧳 Suitcase | Personal belongings / relocation luggage |
| fa-suitcase-rolling | <i class=”fas fa-suitcase-rolling”></i> | 🧳 Rolling suitcase | Luggage / easy moving of personal items |
| fa-dolly | Not in FA5 free | — | — (added in FA6) |
| fa-pallet | <i class=”fas fa-pallet”></i> | 🛒 Pallet | Heavy furniture / pallet moving |
| fa-home | <i class=”fas fa-home”></i> | 🏠 House | Old home → new home (before/after moving) |
| fa-map-marker-alt | <i class=”fas fa-map-marker-alt”></i> | 📍 Map pin | New address / moving destination |
| fa-route | <i class=”fas fa-route”></i> | 🛣️ Route | Moving route / relocation path |
Bottom line for FA5 free in 2026 The strongest and most direct moving icon in Font Awesome 5 is fa-truck-moving. After that, you mainly have to repurpose fa-truck, fa-box, fa-boxes, fa-suitcase, fa-pallet, and fa-home.
There is no:
- Moving van with boxes on top
- Dolly / hand truck
- Furniture moving strap
- Packing tape / bubble wrap
- “Moving Soon” sign
- House with arrow from old to new
- Movers carrying sofa
All of those were added in Font Awesome 6 or are Pro-only in FA5.
2. What people usually mean when they ask for “FA5 Moving Icons”
They are almost always thinking about Font Awesome 6 or 7 (released starting 2022), which added a proper Moving / Relocation collection in the free version.
Here are the most popular moving icons that exist in FA6/7 free (not in FA5):
- fa-house-chimney-user (family moving into new house)
- fa-truck-moving (same as FA5 but more variants)
- fa-dolly
- fa-pallet
- fa-boxes-packing
- fa-tape (packing tape)
- fa-sign-hanging (moving sign)
- fa-arrow-up-from-ground-water (house lifting / moving metaphor)
So when you see beautiful moving company icon sets online in 2025–2026 (with dollies, packing boxes, moving trucks with furniture, etc.), they are 99% of the time using Font Awesome 6 or 7, not FA5.
