In bad weather, a move can be downright awful unless the mover takes the proper precautions. Go Mini’s® Moving & Portable Storage containers offer a number of advantages over traditional moving companies in any weather, but the self-loaded containers truly shine in the rain or snow. Here are three moving tips for bad weather that highlight why Go Mini’s® containers are preferable to other moving options.
Take Your Time
One of the most important moving tips is to not rush the move, especially in bad weather. Rain, sleet, or snow lead to dangerous, slippery conditions. It may be tempting to hurry the move, especially with truck rentals or moving companies that charge by the hour. Go Mini’s® containers work differently, giving people time to work at their own pace. Depending on the mover’s schedule, they could even choose to wait for the weather to clear.
Minimize Carrying Distance
File this under good general moving tips for all weather, but it’s even more helpful in the rain. The shorter the distance the items are exposed to the elements, the less the weather will damage them. Go Mini’s® containers are engineered with padded wheels, meaning they can be slid all the way up to the house without damaging the driveway. This allows the mover to get the items from the garage or front door into the weatherproof container with little or no rain, sleet, or snow exposure.
Invest in the Right Supplies
Nobody protects an item like its owner. In bad weather, the best protection is the attention and care of the one invested in the suede couch or flat screen TV. Couches and other furniture that shouldn’t get wet can be wrapped with stretch plastic wrap to provide water-resistant protection, while the flat screen can be bubble-wrapped inside a box specially designed for TVs. Go Mini’s® has all the moving supplies necessary to protect the items that matter most.
