If you’re using a POD, trailer, or mobile storage container for your move in Hayward, professional loading and unloading help can make all the difference. While DIY moves give you flexibility, loading heavy furniture, boxes, and appliances safely requires skill, experience, and the right equipment. That’s where All Star Movers & Storage comes in.
We specialize in Hayward loading and unloading services for all types of storage units and moving containers — including PODS®, U-Haul U-Box®, 1-800-PACK-RAT®, ABF trailers, and other mobile storage solutions. Our experienced movers know how to maximize space, protect your belongings, and ensure nothing shifts or gets damaged during transport.

If you’re packing up a POD or trailer, our team handles all the heavy lifting. We:
Load items strategically to maximize space and minimize movement.
Protect furniture and fragile items with padding, blankets, and stretch wrap.
Secure everything tightly to prevent shifting during transit.
Disassemble large furniture like beds and tables when needed.
Because we understand how different container systems work, we tailor our loading strategy to fit your exact storage or shipping solution.

Unload efficiently to save time and reduce costs.
Place furniture and boxes exactly where you want them.
Reassemble furniture if needed.
Dispose of packing materials upon request.

3. Partial or Hourly Help
Sometimes, you just need a few extra hands. We offer hourly labor services for small jobs, such as moving heavy furniture within your home, loading a truck, or rearranging storage spaces.
How We Load and Unload PODs and Containers Safely
Our approach focuses on safety, organization, and care for your belongings:
Assessment: We evaluate your inventory and access points before starting.
Preparation: Furniture is wrapped and fragile items are cushioned.
Loading: We load heavier items on the bottom, distribute weight evenly, and use straps to secure everything.
Protection: Blankets, padding, and stretch wrap safeguard furniture and walls.
Unloading: We handle items carefully, following any placement instructions you provide.
This process ensures that every item — from delicate antiques to heavy appliances — is moved efficiently and securely.
When to Use Mobile Storage Containers
Mobile storage options like PODS and trailers have become popular for Hayward residents because they offer flexibility and convenience. They’re ideal for:
Local and long-distance relocations
College or temporary housing moves
Home renovations and remodeling projects
Seasonal storage or decluttering
Office or commercial storage overflow
However, while containers are easy to rent, they require skillful loading and unloading to make the most of your space — which is where our experts come in.
