Case study
A partial move in Calgary, with a storage pickup
In October 2026, three of our movers spent 8.5 hours on a client's partial move, from Hounsfield Heights/Briar Hill in northwest Calgary to North Glenmore Park in the southwest. The same day, they picked up items from her own storage unit in Montgomery. Partial or not, it was a full load.

The day in photos
Morning at the house: the truck at the curb, ramp down, before loading starts.
Inside, a piece of furniture is wrapped in moving blankets and taped before it moves.
From the drone footage: a large wrapped piece on its way to the truck.
Loading in tiers: boxes stacked high, with wrapped furniture beside them.
The dining table, its top padded and taped, waits beside a blue floor runner.
Bikes, a covered barbecue and outdoor gear, strapped in at the back of the truck.
At her storage unit in Montgomery, carts loaded in the hallway.
Our truck backed into the storage facility's loading bay.
What made this job bigger than it sounds
Partial, but a full load.
Only part of the home was moving, and it still filled the truck.
A very heavy commercial treadmill.
It moved with the rest of the load. We don't take apart gym equipment such as treadmills, so tell us about any when we follow up.
A second stop the same day.
The crew picked up items from her own storage unit in Montgomery. Each extra stop adds time to a move, so list every one.
Protection at no charge.
The moving blankets and floor runners in these photos are part of the hourly rate.
