Best Practices for Loading a WCC Moving Container

This overview highlights best practices for loading a WCC moving container, ensuring shipments are secure, protected, and space-efficient.

Purpose:
Provide movers with clear guidance on container preparation, packing strategies, and furniture handling to optimize safety and efficiency.

Key Elements:

• Preparation: Remove all equipment and inventory materials before loading. Confirm that all 15 moving blankets supplied with the container are available.

• Furniture Packing: Place tight boxes between chair legs to protect furniture and make efficient use of space. Use moving pads that reach the floor to prevent scratches. Wrap delicate furniture items in bubble wrap for extra protection.

• Packing Strategy: Pack heavy items on the bottom and lighter items on top. Repack cartons as needed to maximize space while keeping flattened cartons in the container for inventory purposes. Consistently use pads on all furniture and wrap materials with plastic or shrink wrap to prevent soiling.

• Container Capacity: Standard containers can accommodate items up to a king-size mattress.

• Final Steps: Seal and lock the container once loading is complete to secure the shipment.

Key Takeaway:
Thorough preparation, strategic packing, and consistent use of protective materials ensure safe transport and efficient use of moving container space.
