You drive · we lift

Labor-only moving help.

Already have a rental truck or a portable storage container? ShirBak brings the crew to load and unload it, so you can save your back for something else.

Where we help

The heavy part, handled.

01

Load a rental truck

Packed tight and balanced so it rides well and nothing shifts.

02

Load or unload a portable storage container

Stacked with a plan so it is easy to unpack at the other end.

03

Unload at the new place

Every box and piece carried to the room it belongs in.

04

Reload or restack

Shifting a half-loaded truck or container so the rest of your things fit.

Moving boxes and household items secured inside a truck.

Good to know

How labor-only works

  • You arrange the truck or container and have it on site when we arrive.
  • We bring the crew and the know-how to load it well.
  • Tell us the container or truck size and the stairs involved so we plan the right crew.
  • Driving is on you; the lifting is on us.
