Moving Pods: A New Reliable and Cost Effective Way to Move
04/15/10
Technology has brought in a Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA), a similar term can be coined for the transportation industry where technology has indeed introduced a Revolution in Transportation Affairs (RTA). RTA has been made possible due to the human spirit of innovation in combination with technology giving rise to the concept of Moving Pods. Is Moving Pods just another name for plain old trucking transportation? Not really, because unlike standard truck sized containers, moving pods come in varying sizes customized to hold the volumes of a single, two room, three room houses or even a mansion. The innovation lies in the ability of the company to deliver the pod at the customer's residence. The containers have a low flooring, adjustable securing straps, scalable racks and shelves to securely store the client's household items during transportation. As the name suggests, Pods are like self sustaining units.
The terms and conditions for loading and unloading are flexible and hassle free. Moving pod companies offer a complete package which include ready to use cardboard boxes, Styrofoam sheets, bubble plastic and other packing material which absorb shock and provide additional safety to the household items being transported. Not only household items, entire offices can be moved including office cubes. Climate controlled pods are also available for those who require environment controls for sensitive equipment, items or precious cargo of wines during the move. The range of scalability includes carriage and transportation of boats, cars and garage equipment. The customer can also track the route of his items as most companies providing these services use the latest GPS tracking technology and RFID tags to keep track of each and every pod on the move.
Moving Pods is a unique concept as it addresses twin issues of Moving and Storing. Thus they are variously called as Self Storage solutions also. In case the customer has a time lag in finding a new house, the pods can also be stored away in secure warehouses safe from vagaries of nature, theft or robbery. Companies providing these services provide requisite insurance so in addition to physical safety, legal safety is also ensured. Moving Pods have come in a big way in United States, Canada and Europe. The companies not only offer services within the country but also for overseas moves. The sheer convenience and competitive pricing have made Moving Pods a concept which is likely to become the standard form of transportation model the world over.
