PODS and moving container loading in High Point, NC
Portable moving containers like PODS and U-Box get dropped at your door, and you have to fill them. Movewise packs them tight and unloads them at the other end.
Why container loading is different
A container is smaller than most rental trucks and it gets picked up by a lift or a tilting trailer, so a badly packed load shifts more than a truck load does. Space is tighter, and you pay by the container, so wasted space costs you.
How we load a container
Heavy pieces go on the floor and spread across the width, not all on one side. Everything gets wrapped, stacked floor to ceiling in tight tiers and tied off, and the last tier gets braced so it cannot lean on the door.
Unloading
When your container arrives at the new place, we unload it and carry everything inside to the right rooms.
