U-Box Loading Guide: Tips From Our PODS Loading Help Denver Crews
Quick answer: a U-Box is a small wooden container, about 5 ft wide, 8 ft long and 7.5 ft tall, that holds roughly one to one and a half rooms. Most 2-bedroom homes need about 3 to 4. Load each one heavy to light, floor to ceiling, and keep it under U-Haul's weight limit. 2 Rocket Services helpers are $149/hr with a 2-hour minimum.
How many U-Boxes?
Every home is different, but as a guide:
Studio: about 2
1-bedroom: about 2 to 3
2-bedroom: about 3 to 4
3-bedroom: about 5 to 6
Check U-Haul's current size and weight limits when you reserve.
How to load a U-Box
Put the heaviest pieces on the floor, spread evenly, not all on one side.
Stack boxes in tight tiers to the ceiling; empty space lets the load shift.
Use moving blankets between furniture and the walls.
Stand mattresses and headboards on edge along a long wall.
Close each box with the load braced so nothing leans on the doors.
At home or at the U-Haul store
U-Haul can drop the boxes at your home or you can load them at a U-Haul location. Our crew can meet you at either one. If you load at the store, bring your belongings in your own vehicle or rental truck.
How many helpers?
2 helpers load most studios to 2-bedrooms into U-Boxes in about 2 to 4 hours. Every job is unique, so the office confirms the crew when you book.
