How to Pack Your Portable Storage Container

Whether you are moving between Bay Area counties or just need temporary storage while you are renovating your home, renting a MULE BOX portable storage container can help making packing a little easier! Here are a few helpful tips on the optimal way to pack your storage unit!

• Pack Smart: Opt for smaller boxes when dealing with heavy items like books or canned food, and save the larger boxes for lighter, bulkier stuff. Don’t forget to pad and fill any gaps with packing material or extra clothes to keep everything in place!
• Wrap and Disassemble: When possible, take apart furniture then stash the loose screws in plastic bags and use tape to attach the bag to the furniure. 
• Load Strategically: Plan ahead! Place heavier items at the bottom and lighter ones on top, stacking from floor to ceiling to make sure the weight is distributed evenly. When loading the large items into the storage pod, use ratchet straps to secure them.
• Clear the Path: When you're ready to have your MULE BOX storage container delivered or picked up, nsure there’s enough space for a smoother process. While our Mule Bot can navigate tight spots, leving a  clear path helps the bot do its job without a hitch!
