Crate hire pairs well with flexible storage rental when your move spans multiple phases or sites.

Our extra large lidded crates can be used to store larger office items. If you are clearing out old electrical equipment at the same time, our WEEE disposal service ensures compliant, responsible disposal alongside your move.

5 tips for hiring crates
1
Sell or donate unwanted items
Moving to a new office is a great time to take stock of what you do and don’t need. You could get a cash boost by selling office furniture or equipment you don’t need. Alternatively, you can donate it to charity. Whatever you decide, it’ll mean you won’t have to hire as many boxes and crates come moving day.
2
Choose stackable moving crates
When hiring crates, choose nestable or stackable moving crates which are ideal for moving. These will fit into each other when they’re empty and can be stacks on top of each other when packed with items. Stackable storage solutions will save you space in the van and you might not have to make as many trips.
3
Choose lidded crates
You shouldn’t leave your cardboard boxes open, and you should seal your plastic ones too. Lidded crates will help protect your items from dust and dirt. They’ll also help prevent any damage to your items caused by bumps in the road while they’re being transported from A to B.
4
Don’t leave them outside
Your boxes and crates should be okay outside for a short time while they’re being moved into the removal van. However, most boxes and crates, even lidded plastic ones, aren’t completely waterproof so you should avoid leaving them outside for long in case it rains.
After all, UK weather isn’t the most predictable!
5
Rent crates for moving
Instead of buying new boxes and crates – which can take a big chunk out of your moving budget – choose a moving crate rental. Renting something is often more eco-friendly than buying it, especially if it’ll only be used once. We’re one of the most affordable moving crate rentals around.
When you’re finished with your crates and boxes we’ll pick them up from your new address.
