Labor-only loading and unloading moving help
Fast, flexible moving labor when and where you need it
Need strong, reliable moving labor to load or unload your rental truck, portable container, or storage unit? BrockStar Moving Services sends trained, insured pros to handle the heavy lifting so you can drive or store with confidence. Our labor only movers arrive on time, protect your home and belongings, and keep your move on schedule—without the cost of a truck you don’t need.
Prefer an extra set of hands beyond load day? If you want help boxing up rooms before we arrive, explore our packing and unpacking services. Need guidance or a quick estimate? Contact us for a quick estimate.
Why choose BrockStar for your commercial move
We tailor each job to your space, timeline, and inventory. Here’s what our crews typically do:
- Careful walkthrough and plan for efficient staging and truck loading
- Furniture prep with pads and stretch wrap (client or provider-supplied materials)
- Disassembly/reassembly of standard furniture (beds, tables, sectional legs)
- Safe, balanced stacking to maximize space and protect fragile items
- Rugged handling techniques for appliances and bulky items
- Floor, door, and banister protection where needed
- Unload, place, and basic setup at your destination
Whether it’s a 10×10 storage unit, a 26-foot rental, or a portable container in your driveway, we’ll right-size the crew so the work is done safely and on time. If you’re moving specialty pieces like pianos, safes, hot tubs, or aquariums, book our specialty item moving for the added expertise these heavy or delicate items require.
How our process works
1. Quick estimate and scheduling
Share your inventory, access details (stairs, elevators, long carries), and timing. We’ll recommend crew size, estimated hours, and any minimums. No guesswork—just straightforward, hourly moving help.
2. Prep and materials
We’ll confirm who’s providing pads, shrink wrap, straps, and boxes. If you need pro packing before move day, our packing and unpacking services can save hours and reduce breakage.
3. Pre-move coordination
Our muscle movers arrive with the right equipment and get to work: staging, padding, and securely stacking your load for a tight, safe ride. Efficiency and safety come first.
4. Moving-day execution
At the destination, we provide unloading help, place items by room, and reassemble basics so you can settle in faster.
5. Placement and reassembly
Furniture and equipment are placed by the floor plan. We reassemble items we disassembled, then confirm each area is operational.
6. Post-move support
Optional unpacking, debris haul-away, and punch-list adjustments to ensure everything is ready for business.
For regional relocations or branch consolidations, our long distance movers for branch moves can support relocations within and beyond Michigan (generally up to about 600 miles).
Tools, training, and safety
Every crew is trained in safe lifting, team carries, and best-practice loading patterns. Typical gear includes dollies, hand trucks, basic tools, and straps.
We prioritize:
- Weight distribution to prevent shifting during transit
- Padding and wrapping to protect finishes
- Clear pathways and home protection
- Communication at every step
