Containerized Moving Guide for Beginners

Containerized moving is the latest development in relocation technology, and it has opened up a new world of flexibility. Simply put, moving containers are portable storage units (sometimes called pods) that allow people to load their possessions at their home or office, lock them away safely and then have them picked up by the container company. Once the pods are picked up, they can either be delivered to their final destination or put into a warehouse with other containers to await moving.

Containers also offer practical options for long distance moving. Once a pod is packed and locked, trucks equipped for its special loading and unloading requirements can take it anywhere in the United States. And for international moving, it can easily be placed on a ship that will take it overseas. But you don't have to move to make use of containerized storage. Pods are just as useful at home or business locations during renovations or when extra storage is needed for any other reason. They can also be helpful when organizing items for garage or estate sales, because they offer a clean temporary location for sorting and storing. The unique ability of a storage container to be placed virtually anywhere you need it for any length of time, makes it a truly valuable tool.

Containers are available in a variety of sizes, which means you don't need to pay for a large-sized truck or storage facility if you have only a small number of items. You can just choose the container that fits your needs. Another great benefit is that you can take your time to pack it. You set the schedule, so you can take as long as you want if you need time to pack and load. This can help ensure the container is well-packed and organized, because no one will be rushing the process.

If you opt to store the container rather than move it right away, it will be protected from pests, vandalism, and usually from temperature and humidity variations. The warehouses are locked and secure, treated for pest control and in many cases they're also climate-regulated. This last aspect is particularly important if you live in an extreme climate, either hot or cold, so be sure to ask about its availability when you order the container. And if you live in an apartment or a condominium complex, you may need to check with several container moving companies to find one that can deliver to your property. If there are low-hanging trees or other obstructions near your building, the truck that carries the containerized moving system might not be able to get onto the premises. You'll also want to check with your apartment or condominium management company to make sure that containers are allowed.
