Loading & Unloading Services
Renting your own truck is a perfectly reasonable way to handle a move. Lifting a sectional couch, a king-size mattress, and a refrigerator into it — and then doing it again in reverse at the other end — is a different matter entirely. That is where we come in.
Little Guys Movers offers standalone loading and unloading services for customers who are handling their own transportation. You rent the truck, the PODS unit, or the storage container. We handle everything that goes in and out of it. Same trained crews, same care, no full-service commitment required.
Hiring Movers Just to Load Your Rental Truck or PODS
Most people underestimate how physically demanding loading a truck actually is. It is not just heavy lifting. It is heavy lifting done efficiently, in sequence, with furniture protection in place, so that nothing shifts during transit and nothing gets damaged because it was loaded in the wrong order.
Our crews load rental trucks, PODS units, U-Haul containers, and any other portable storage solution the same way they load our own trucks: furniture padded and wrapped, heavy items on the floor against the walls, fragile items on top and away from hard edges, everything strapped and secured before the door closes.
If you need us at the destination to unload, we can do that too. Whether it is the same day or a week later at a different location, we work around your schedule.
Loading and Unloading Storage Units
Moving things in or out of a storage unit is one of those jobs that sounds simple and turns out not to be. The unit is usually at the back of a facility down a long corridor with a narrow door and no climate control in July. The items inside have usually been there long enough that no one remembers exactly what is in there or how it was packed.
We handle storage unit loading and unloading as a standalone service. Whether you are moving belongings into storage before a move, clearing out a unit after one, or reorganizing a unit that has gotten out of hand, we bring the crew and the equipment to do it efficiently.
What Loading and Unloading Only Service Includes
Our loading and unloading service covers the physical work of loading and unloading your belongings from and onto a truck or into and out of a storage container. Here is what that looks like in practice:
- Loading your rental truck, PODS, U-Haul, or storage container
- Furniture padding and wrapping before loading
- Proper sequencing and securing of items in the container
- Unloading at the destination, including placement in rooms
- Storage unit loading and unloading
- Furniture disassembly if needed to fit through doors or into containers
We do not provide the truck or container. You handle transportation. We handle everything else.
