The Challenge of Loading Containers

Portable storage containers like PODS and U‑Box are popular because they allow you to load at your own pace. But doing it yourself is harder than it looks:

Maximizing space – stacking items 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, appliances and beds don’t move easily into a container

Timing pressure – containers are often picked up on strict schedules
