Labour-only loading and unloading
This is hands-on muscle without the truck rental on our side — part of our labour-only moving options in Ottawa. Our crews load and unload:
- Rental moving trucks (U-Haul, Discount, Penske and similar)
- Portable moving and storage containers (PODS, BigSteelBox and similar)
- Self-storage units — load-in and load-out
- Freight trailers and you-load services
- Vehicles you have already loaded that need careful unloading at the other end
When labour-only help makes sense
- You have rented a truck or container and just need it loaded or unloaded properly
- You are moving locally and prefer to drive yourself
- You are loading or emptying a storage unit
- You only need help on one end of the move
- You want heavy or awkward items handled safely without hiring a full-service move
What our crews do
Loading is a skill — done wrong, things shift and break in transit. Our movers load tight and balanced, pad and wrap furniture, secure loads with straps, and handle stairs, elevators and tight doorways. If you would rather we handle the entire move including the truck, our full-service Ottawa movers can take it end to end.

Frequently asked questions
Do you provide the truck, or is this labour only?
This service is labour only — you supply the rental truck, container or storage unit, and we provide the trained crew to load or unload it. If you would prefer we provide the truck and handle everything, ask about our full-service local moving instead.
Can you load a U-Haul or a PODS container?
Yes. We load and unload rental trucks like U-Haul, Discount and Penske, and portable containers like PODS and BigSteelBox. Tell us the size and we will plan the right crew.
Can you load or empty a storage unit?
Yes, storage-unit load-in and load-out is one of the most common labour-only jobs we do, including handling access and elevators at the facility.
Are your loading crews insured?
Yes. Our labour-only crews are the same trained movers as our full-service teams, and we are licensed and insured.
Is there a minimum for labour-only help?
Labour help is available by the hour and quoted up front based on the crew size and time you need — just tell us the job and we will give you a clear quote.
