How much SPACE do you need?
Our Containers come as big as 53’ long and as
small as 6’x6’. The most popular size is 8‘x20’.
A 20’ Box generally holds all of the contents from a
2-3 bedroom home and it is the best size for
moving across town or across the country.
!
We recommend: a 20’ Home-grade Box for most
residential moving and storage uses, a 10’ Box for
storage at an apartment building or small business,
a 40’ Box for business inventory storage or
remodeling projects, and a 20’ Construction Box
for job sites and building projects.
!
Other features available are: High-cube
containers (1’ taller), Double-door containers
(cargo doors on both ends), built-in or after-market
lockboxes for extra security, and a host of other
custom modifications are available... from roll-up
doors, to custom shelving, to lights and outlets.

How are Containers Delivered?
We make it look easy! We own a fleet of our own customized
Delivery equipment, driven by our own highly trained Delivery
experts. The Driver backs the truck into place, gently sets one
end of the Box on the ground, and then gently slides the truck
out from underneath the Box before setting the other end of the
Box on the ground. The Box is always securely resting on either
the truck or the ground, so your Box remains safe and secure.
!1. Pack an overnight bag first: a change of clothes,
toiletries, a snack, and a book or game for each
person to unwind after a hard day of moving.
!2. Label well: don’t just write the contents of the Box,
write the room it goes into, such as: “Books-office”
and have a map of the house with each room
labeled for helpers to reference.
!3. When loading boxes and furniture into your
Container, try to build a “wall” of similar sized Boxes
stacked on top of each other. Heaviest items on the
bottom, lighter stuff on top. Start by packing most
“square” shaped and sturdy items together to make
the best use of space. The odd-shaped items (like
bikes, vacuums, etc.) can go on top of your Boxes
or near the doors of the container.
!4. Ask for help! We can refer great helpers for hire.
