Why Loading a POD or U‑Box Is Tricky
Maximizing space – stacking incorrectly wastes room and can cost more
Protecting your belongings – without pads, straps and a placement strategy, items can shift and break
Heavy lifting – couches, washers and beds are hard to move into a container
Timing – containers are often picked up on strict schedules, adding pressure
What We Do
Professional loading and unloading of PODS, U‑Box, Pack‑Rat, U‑Haul U‑Box and other portable storage units
Strategic stacking – we maximize space and prevent damage by stacking heavy items on the bottom and distributing weight evenly
Proper equipment – we bring dollies, straps and pads to secure your items
Labor‑only or full service – hire helpers to load/unload, or include a truck for local moves
Metro‑wide coverage – covering Portland, Vancouver and nearby cities
Flexible scheduling – same‑day or short‑notice help is often available
How It Works
Tell us your container details – size, pickup/drop‑off location, loading date and any stairs/elevator notes.
Get a quote & ETA – we confirm availability, estimate time and cost, and schedule your crew
We load or unload your container – our team arrives with equipment, pads and straps; we load items strategically, distribute weight evenly and secure everything to prevent shifting during transit
