Using Bins

Rigid bins outperform cardboard in wet and freezing conditions. Choose latch lids, gasket seals, and stackable forms to resist moisture and shifting. Assign color or tape bands by room to improve speed during unloading and staging.

Load heavy items low with padding and distribute weight evenly. Keep total mass within safe lift limits to prevent injuries and damage. For delicate goods, add foam or corrugated sleeves that maintain shape under cold. Stabilize odd shapes with dividers and keep fasteners in labeled pouches taped inside lids.

Create a lift plan: define max bin weight, team sizes, and route constraints like stairs and narrow entries. Stage bins by destination room and priority tier so the first-off items accelerate setup.
