Long Distance Container Moving

Moving Containers: A Good Option for Long-Distance Moves

When planning a long-distance move, choosing the right moving solution is crucial. At Atlas Van Lines, we understand that every move is unique, and we’re here to help you make the best choice for your circumstances. As many Canadians have discovered, moving containers are a favoured choice for cross-country moves, and here’s why:

Flexibility on Your Time

One of the standout benefits of renting moving containers is the unrivalled flexibility they offer. No longer bound to the constraints of packing everything within hours, you can distribute the task over days, ensuring meticulous packing that adheres to your preferences and safety standards.

Built for Canadian Extremes

Our moving pods are designed with the Canadian climate in mind. Made from robust, weather-resistant materials, they guarantee that your possessions are protected, whether you’re moving during a crisp Yukon winter or a humid Ontario summer.

Cost-Efficient

For those willing to handle the packing and loading, moving containers can often be a more budget-friendly alternative. Plus, with Atlas Van Lines, you’re assured of competitive pricing without compromising on service quality.

Ease of Transport

Once your packing is complete, give us a nod. Our dedicated team will step in, taking care of the transportation and ensuring your pod reaches your new location, be it from the vibrant streets of Vancouver to the historic charm of Halifax.

Storage Solutions

The transition from one home to another might not always align perfectly. Should you need to delay unpacking, our bespoke storage solutions have you covered. Your container can be safely housed in our secure facilities until you’re prepared to make your new house a home.

Reduced Risk

With fewer hands touching your belongings and no need to transfer items between vehicles, the risk of damage is minimized.

Whether you’re moving from the majestic Rockies of Alberta to the scenic coastlines of Newfoundland or any province or territory in between, Atlas Van Lines is here to ensure a smooth transition. Our long-distance moving containers offer the convenience and reliability essential for a seamless cross-Canada journey.

Atlas Van Lines Shipping Container Options

Shipping containers come in a variety of sizes and styles, each tailored to suit specific requirements. At Atlas Van Lines, we’re dedicated to offering solutions that match every customer’s unique needs.

Atlas Van Lines has three main sizes of shipping containers available: 8 feet, 12 feet, and 16 feet.

Standard Containers

These are the most common types, designed for general household items. Typically weather-resistant and secure, they cater to a broad range of moving needs. 

Climate-Controlled Containers

Ideal for sensitive items that can be affected by temperature or humidity fluctuations, such as artworks, antiques, or certain electronics. These containers maintain a consistent internal environment, ensuring the safety of your valuables.

Specialized Containers

These are designed for specific items or needs, such as transporting vehicles, heavy machinery, or delicate musical instruments. Some of our popular specialized containers include:

• Refrigerated containers: ideal for transporting perishable goods at a controlled temperature.
• Open-top containers: ideal for transporting oversized items that won’t fit through standard container doors.
• Flat rack containers: ideal for transporting oversized cargo such as heavy machinery or vehicles.

Mobile Storage Containers

Beyond just moving, these portable storage containers double as temporary storage and long-term storage solutions. They can be parked at your premises, filled at your convenience, and either kept onsite for accessible storage or transported to a new location.

Are Our Long-Distance Moving Containers Safe?

Yes, Atlas Van Lines’ long-distance moving containers are as secure as can be. All furniture is padded and wrapped in moving blankets for extra protection, before being stored inside our “Exclusive-Use” Affinity Vault container. Beyond the furniture, any valuables will also be locked and sealed inside a waterproof container. Even better, if your new home or office isn’t quite ready for occupancy, we still store your moving containers in one of our climate-controlled warehouses. All Atlas Van Lines moving centers are clean, temperature-regulated, pest-free, and equipped with cutting-edge security systems.

As mentioned, all long-distance moving containers are tracked throughout the entirety of the journey. In addition, if your moving container takes up temporary residence in one of our warehouses, each piece of your shipment will be inventoried and inspected for damage. From there, special tracking is used within the warehouse to ensure the extra protection of your items. 

Here at Atlas Van Lines, our top priority is keeping your most valued possessions safe until they are transported to your home.
