This was my first big move and I was nervous, but Zero Hour Moving made it painless. Booking was quick, the crew showed up on time, and nothing was scratched. Five stars from me!

A container at your door, loaded on your timeline, moved or stored when ready.
Container Moving: Load On Your Schedule, We Handle The Rest
Container moving solves the timing problem. A weather-resistant steel container is placed in your driveway, you load it over days rather than hours, and Zero Hour Moving transports it to your new home or holds it in storage until you are ready.
Our crew can load the container for you with the same blankets, straps and stacking method we use in our trucks, or you can load it yourself and pay only for delivery and transport.
Containers suit staggered moves, renovations, long-distance relocations with uncertain closing dates and anyone who wants to spread the packing out.
Sizes range from a one-bedroom load to a full family home, and multiple containers can be combined for large houses.
Good to know: every container moving job is quoted individually and in writing. Tell us the details and we confirm availability and a clear price the same day.

Loading A Container Properly
If you load it yourself, follow these rules to prevent damage in transit.
- Load heavy items first, against the front wall, and distribute weight evenly.
- Wrap furniture in blankets and stand mattresses and sofas on end along the walls.
- Fill from floor to ceiling in tight tiers so nothing can shift.
- Use straps at every tier to lock the load in place.
- Put fragile boxes on top of sturdy ones and never under furniture.
- Keep an aisle to the door only if you need mid-load access.
- Do not load hazardous materials, plants or perishables.
- Lock the container and keep the key with you.
