Loading Your Storage Pods

For an easy and safe move, review the following tips. Your storage pods should be sufficiently big enough to provide accommodation for10-15% more than what you possess. This is to ensure you have enough space, as too much space is better than not enough. Rent different sizes of dollies and ensure they have belts that fasten in place. When rolling the dolly up the truck ramp, make sure to check that nothing fell out on the way up the ramp. Do not load excess items on the dolly. It's safer to make more trips than to risk items falling, breaking or injuring someone.

Take out the drawers prior to moving desks, cabinets and dressers. Once these objects are loaded on the PODS, put the drawers back in. This will ensure that nothing breaks while the truck is in transit and will also create more room.

When loading bikes, take off the front wheel and drop the handlebars. Taking off the front wheel will make sure that the bike doesn’t slip from its place on the pods. Use pillows, towels and sofa cushions for stuffing and place around delicate items for additional safety.

After reading this article you should sit down and plan your move. If you plan how to load the truck then you will save yourself a lot of time and aggravation and those who are helping with your move will definitely thank you for it.
