Loading in Manhattan, in practice.

Walk-ups in Inwood and Washington Heights add cleanout work without elevator help.
Pre-war elevator buildings, walk-ups, brownstones in Harlem and the Village; high-rise condos in Tribeca and Chelsea; co-op towers on the UES and UWS.

Loading questions
Common loading questions.
Why list this separately from "moving labor"?
Moving labor is the full move — both ends, sometimes a same-day load-and-unload. Loading-unloading is just one end — you only need us at the old place or only at the new place. Same crew, same gear, same hourly. Booked as a single-end visit lets us schedule a tighter window.
Do you drive the truck for me?
No. Rental contracts only cover named drivers, and we are not on yours. If you specifically need a driver, ask at booking and we will coordinate a referral. For most jobs the cheaper move is to drive yourself and book us only for the muscle.
How do I prep for a loading visit?
Box everything that needs to be boxed before we arrive. Disassemble bed frames and large IKEA pieces if you have the tools and time — saves 30-60 minutes on the meter. Have the truck or POD on site with the keys when we arrive. We handle pad-wrap, stretch wrap, and strap-down.
Can you load a POD at the curb?
Yes — PODS, U-Box, and 1-800-PACK-RAT all deliver to the curb if the driveway is too narrow. The curb-load is a longer carry but billed at the same hourly. Tell us at booking where the container is going to land so we can plan the route from the door.
