The Ultimate Moving And Storage Guide

2 Types Of Moving Equipment Rental Services And Their Benefits

by Gail Wheeler

Moving into a new home is often going to be a stressful and difficult process, especially if you are planning on doing all of the work yourself. However, moving equipment rental services can make the process easier by allowing you to rent a wide range of trucks and storage containers. 

Trucks

One of the most common types of moving equipment that you can rent is a moving truck. These trucks are quite versatile, and you can find them in many different sizes.

For example, most moving services will offer everything from a small 10' truck to ones that are over 20' in length. In addition, these trucks will often have incorporated features that will make loading and unloading as easy as possible.

One of these features is that the truck is often designed to be low to the ground in order to make carrying boxes and furniture on and off the truck much easier and less strenuous. Another feature to consider is a truck with a ramp. While the ramp doesn't help all that much if you are moving everything by hand, it is essential if you are planning on using utility or appliance dollies to move the larger items.

In addition, these truck rental services will also be able to rent you all manner of equipment in order to save you money and make moving easier. For example, a truck rental service can provide you with appliance, utility, or furniture dollies, in addition to selling furniture pads and boxes to help you pack and protect your property.

Container Rental

Another option that many moving truck rental services provide is the ability to rent a storage container. This container will be dropped off at your house so that you can fill it up with all of your items.

Once you are done loading the items, you simply call the rental service to come pick it up. At this point, the rental service will either deliver the storage container to your new home so that you can unload your items, or take it to a storage facility so that you can have it delivered at a future date.

The biggest benefit to this service is that loading and unloading the container is quite easy, mostly because it is flat on the ground. This means that you do not have to step up onto a truck while loading and unloading, you can simply walk into and out of the container. This option is also ideal if you are uncomfortable with the idea of driving a large moving truck.

Speak to a moving truck rental service today in order to discuss the many options that are available to help you move. Moving trucks are very versatile and can come in sizes that are appropriate for just about any size move, while containers are great if you want to have an easy time loading and unloading and do not want to drive a large vehicle.
