U-Pack Moving - Bulkhead Installation Video

Bulkhead installation applies only to trailer moves. The bulkhead will be on the floor of the trailer when it's delivered. Move it out of the way until everything is loaded. You'll see installation instructions and illustrations pasted on the side of the bulkhead. Your belongings will remain securely behind the bulkhead until you remove it at the destination, so be sure you install it properly.

The bulkhead consists of two 4' x 8' wood panels installed side-by-side with load bars connecting at the center. First make sure the load bars are fully retracted by pressing the red release button and pushing the bars in. Then lean the panels against your shipment. Check the handles on the load bars. The bottom handle should point up and the top handle should point down. Attach by inserting the bars. Extend the feet lightly against the sides of the trailer. The metal snap buttons should lock into the holes with each bar extending to the last adjustment hole. Now straighten the bulkhead so it's upright. Finally, secure the bulkhead by pumping the black load bar handle 10 to 12 times on both the top and bottom bars. Check that all bars are held firmly against the side of the trailer. When it's time to unload, simply reverse the process. Be careful in case items shifted during transit. Press the red release button to release the pressure off the load bars. Then retract the bars by pulling firmly. Pull the bottom of the bulkhead a few inches toward you so it leans against your shipment until you're ready to remove it.

Retract the end of each load bar three or four positions before snapping the metal button back into place.

Disconnect the load bars at the center by sliding them apart. Continue to support the bulkhead as you disconnect the two wooden panels. Carefully remove each panel and place it in a dry place. It's that simple.
