What We Do

We Take the Stress Away From Container Day.

Unloading.ca's team of professional lumpers (labourer that handles cargo) specialize in unloading/de-stuffing floor-loaded shipping containers all over Metro Vancouver, BC.

Beyond simply loading and unloading shipping containers, we provide our clients the reassurance that the work will be conducted timely, efficiently and with care.

Why Outsource De-Stuffing Services?

Shipping Containers are the #1 cause of injury to warehouse workers in BC.

They have been responsible for more than 1 out of 4 warehouse injuries, resulting in over $1.7 million dollars in claim costs, and over 7 thousand days of lost work over the course of 5 years. [1]
