Do I need to provide my own furniture blankets and straps?

Yes. Since portable storage containers are rented for days or weeks at a time, you must provide your own moving blankets, furniture pads, and tie-down straps. Professional loaders will expertly use the materials you supply to protect your items and secure your walls within the unit.

How long does it take to load a 16-foot portable storage container?

On average, a professional 2-man crew takes about 2 to 3 hours to completely load a standard 16-foot portable storage container. This can vary based on total box volume, heavy furniture pieces, and the walking distance to the unit.

Will the loaders handle both heavy furniture and small boxes?

Absolutely. Professional labor-only crews handle everything from oversized couches and dressers down to fragile boxes, ensuring every single item is tightly and strategically stacked.

Can I book same-day container loading help?

Yes, our platform offers flexible scheduling options, including last-minute or urgent same-day bookings based on real-time availability of local crews.

How do loaders ensure the load doesn't shift when the driver picks up the container?

Loaders build interlocking 'dead walls' or tiers from floor to ceiling, filling all gaps tightly. This compact stacking prevents the load from sliding or shifting during hydraulic lifting and transit angles.

Review

" Hulls Haulers provided top notch service before, during, and after the move. I got a phone call the morning of the move, and then Anthony, Antoine, and Chris showed up early. They were extra careful to handle objects properly, asked questions about how I wanted the move completed, and ultimately finished a three-hour job in only two hours. Highly recommended and will definitely use this company again. Show them some support because this type of service is hard to find in Chicago! "
