Many believe everything they want can be kept in a portable storage container. On the other hand, some objects are not transferable using a storage container. It’s critical to understand what they are to make suitable arrangements. The following is a list of items that are not permitted in the container:

Combustible materials

Certain products, such as oil, fertilizer, explosives, oil-chlorine bleach, acid, acetone, propane tanks, and compressed gas cylinders, are not permitted to be carried. Shipment in containers is both hazardous and not allowed.

Perishables

Containers are not used to move perishable products, such as food. Meat, dairy products, and vegetables are all examples of perishable goods that would perish if not refrigerated correctly.

Chemicals

When cleaning supplies, pesticides, and pool chemicals are not used, they should not be stored in a storage container. Humans and the environment may be harmed if they are handled incorrectly.

Explosives

The storage containers are not allowed to contain explosives, ammunition, or flares. They pose a hazard to both persons and property.

Animals

Animals are not permitted in moving containers, whether alive or not. Pets and farm animals are examples of live animals that are not allowed.

If you have any of the above items, you’ll need to find another method to transport them. You may be able to send each item separately or come up with another way to get them from your home to your destination safely.

Whatever the circumstances, it’s critical to contact your moving company to find out their policy on these items. You may be confident that all of your belongings arrive at your new home safely and securely if you plan ahead of time and organize.
