If you are facing a big move, you may already have packing boxes and friends to help you haul furniture. However, you should consider renting a storage container instead of a moving truck. This type of rental makes moving easier in several ways. Below are a few reasons to use a container rental when moving.

How a Storage Container Helps Make Moving House Easier

1. Stay at Ground Level

A storage container is easier to load than a moving truck is. It is at ground level, so you never have to climb a ramp or hoist furniture above the shoulders to store it, as you do with a moving truck. It also saves energy that you'd spend climbing in and out of the truck to stack or secure the load. It is also much safer and requires considerably less effort to step into the container and deposit your package.

2. Fill It Slowly

When the storage container arrives at your location, you can fill it whenever you like. You can complete the job quickly or take it slowly. You do not have to adhere to the driver's schedule, so it doesn't matter if you cannot start loading until late afternoon when your friends are out of work. The container gives you the utmost freedom and flexibility when loading—and unloading—your items.

3. Secure Belongings

Traditional movers might arrive at the new home before you and start unloading the truck into the front yard. This leaves your belongings vulnerable to theft and weather damage. If this happens with a storage container, the driver would unload the locked container and leave it for you to unpack. Your items remain dry, secure, and locked inside a large structure.
