Storage Unit Moving Help in Myrtle Beach: Loading, Unloading and Cleanouts
Loading, unloading, unit-to-unit moves and cleanouts at storage facilities across Myrtle Beach and Horry County. You rent the truck, we do the lifting.
Need a storage unit loaded, unloaded or emptied in Myrtle Beach? Makin Moves has been doing loads, unloads and labor-only moves since 2013, and storage units are a big part of what we do. You rent the truck, trailer or PODS container, and our crew does the heavy lifting: carrying everything out of the unit, packing your truck tight so nothing shifts, and unloading it at your new place.
Storage unit jobs we handle
Moving into storage: we load your furniture and boxes from your house, condo or apartment and stack the unit so you can still reach what you need.
Moving out of storage: we empty the unit into your rental truck or container and unload it at your new home anywhere in Horry County.
Unit-to-unit moves: switching to a cheaper or climate-controlled unit, or combining two units into one.
Storage cleanouts: emptying a unit you no longer need into your truck, a trailer or a dumpster you've rented, and sorting keep, donate and toss piles as we go.
Rearranging a packed unit: restacking so the heavy pieces are on the bottom and the things you use are up front.
Heavy items: pianos, gun safes, treadmills and big appliances. See our heavy item moving guide.
How it works
Tell us the unit size, how full it is, and where everything is going. We send the right number of movers with dollies, hand trucks, straps and pads. Loading a truck well is a skill: we build tight, even tiers, so your load rides safely and you don't pay for wasted space. We also work alongside U-Haul, Penske and Budget rentals and PODS containers every week. More on that in our U-Haul and PODS loading help post.

Tips before storage moving day
1. Check the facility's access hours and gate code, and tell us both.
2. Ask whether the facility has elevators or carts if your unit is indoors or on a second floor.
3. Measure the unit and the truck. A 10x10 unit usually needs at least a 15-foot truck, and a 10x20 usually needs a 20 to 26-foot truck.
4. Bring your own lock for the new unit, and have the old unit's lock key or code ready.
5. Label boxes by room so the unload at your new home goes fast.
