TIPS TO MAKE YOUR STORAGE PROJECT EASIER
- Preparing to Pack
- Depending on what you plan to store, you may need corrugated boxes, paper or cloth padding,
wardrobe boxes, mirror boxes, and special boxes for breakables. You will need quality sealing
tape (masking or cellophane tape are not strong enough), a marker for labeling contents, and a
sheet of paper for listing inventory and location. These items can be purchased from
Adamski/Lloyd. - Get someone to help with especially heavy or awkward items. Adamski/Lloyd is a full service
moving and storage company. If you need help loading and unloading all or just your heavy
items we can provide this service with our experienced moving staff.
- Packing
- Disassemble furniture if possible and cover with padding.
- Pack books and papers in small boxes to control weight.
- Use properly sized boxes to make packing/moving easier.
- Protect items with paper or cloth padding material.
- Fill boxes completely to reduce shifting in transit.
- Pack breakables in dish-pack or glassware boxes for greatest protection. Wrap each piece
separately. If packing breakables in regular boxes, stack dishes on their sides and glassware
upright. When packing fragile items place the heaviest items in the bottom of the box. - Wrap mirrors and pictures in clean paper and pack into mirror boxes. Do not lay flat.
- Pack clothing in wardrobe boxes if possible. Cloth items may stay in dressers.
- Thoroughly clean and drain appliances before storing. Tape down moving parts. When storing
refrigerator or freezer, sprinkle baking soda over flat surfaces and leave door ajar. - When storing tools and bicycles, clean and wipe lightly with oil for added rust protection. Cover
with cloth or paper pads to protect other items from staining. - Securely close all boxes and label with contents.
- Filling your Adamski/Lloyd Self-Storage Container
- Load heavy items in bottom with smaller items on top.
- Place items you need often in front of container.
- Distribute weight evenly in container.
- Store large or bulky items in center of container.
- Most sofas can be stood on end to make best use of space. Place pad or paper under end to
protect. - Mattresses and box springs should be stored in protective bags.
- Do not load more than 2,000 pounds in your Adamski/Lloyd Self-Storage container.
- List stored items, with location, on inventory list. Update as items are removed or added.
- Safety Precautions
- When lifting heavy boxes, bend at knees instead of waist, grip box firmly and hold it close to your
body. - Do not store food items, liquids, flammable, or hazardous materials.
- Do not remove weather-resistant cover from container.
- Do not let children or animals play in, on or around container.
- When not loading/unloading, lock door with your padlock and close weather-resistant cover.
When you are finished loading your container(s) call Adamski/Lloyd to arrange pick up.
