What if I'm unable to open my container door?
If you’re having trouble opening your container door, items may have shifted during transit. You can reach out to our Customer Care Team who can assist you and give you suggestions on techniques to get the door open.
Is there a weight restriction?
The maximum weight limit for our containers are: 12’ Container = 4,700 lbs, 16’ Container = 4,200 lbs, and 20′ Container = 3700 lbs.
Customers do not have to calculate their content’s weight, so the weight limits should be used as a guideline when packing the container. If you’re concerned that you may be approaching the maximum weight, pick out your heaviest items and look for comparable items online. Most retail websites will list the weight of their items. The total weight of your heaviest items shouldn’t exceed 75% of the total allowed weight. Heavy items to consider are appliances, sofas, large entertainment centers, bookcases, bedroom chests, safes, exercise equipment, pianos and pool tables.

Please call our Customer Care Team for information or you can find that information out on our reservation form.
