How Much We Care
Our Services & Products for Hire & Sale
Office Removal Crates
We have a comprehensive range of crates that you can rent for your commercial relocation, including lidded security crates, skates (dollies), and of course, our easy peel labels.
Home Removal Crates
Back in the day we used to get every single cardboard box we could lay our hands on when we were moving home. The trouble was…they were prone to collapse! Now you can hire our sturdy plastic moving crates to keep all of your belongings safe.
Equipment & Packaging
We also provide a wide range of equipment for hire and for sale, including sack barrows, dollies / skates, cardboard boxes, packing tape and bubble wrap, to help ensure your treasured possessions stay safe during your home or office move.
We’ve been renting crates since the 70’s
Way back in the early 70’s we started relocating businesses in the heart of the City of London. And with those office removal services came the need for moving boxes. Originally tea crates were popular when moving, but we soon introduced plastic moving boxes.

Crate Hire & Crate Rental That Enables You to Move Home & Office With Ease. Covering London & the UK
Moving home or office can be pretty stressful, so the last thing you need is extra pressure when it comes to crate hire.
Our plastic moving crates are strong and durable, offering you the very best protection for your prized possessions and valuables during your relocation. Because we rent plastic crates, rather than cardboard, you minimise the risk of damage occurring during your move.
We offer a range of high quality crates for hire for both domestic and commercial, so whether you’re moving house, office, or need to clear an entire office building, we have the solution for you.
Our heavy duty moving crates are delivered directly to your office or home, at a predetermined day and time to suit you.
Do you hire crates to the general public?
Yes! When you want to rent a crate, just get in touch and we’ll take care of everything for you. We can even help you to work out how many you might need.
Do you also provide packaging?
Of course! We have a wide range of packaging materials available for you to buy, from bubble wrap to packing tape.
How are your crate hire costs calculated?
Our crates are available on a week (or part thereof) basis. You only pay for the number of crates you have out on hire. If you return some before you are finished, your bill will be reduced accordingly.
What type of crates do you hire?
We have the Standard Lidded Crate (LC3) which is by far the most popular. We also have metre long crates that are perfect for file packing, and filing cabinet content relocation. And we have our IT crates for all sorts of computer equipment.
Can we collect from your depot
Yes, you can collect your own crates and equipment from any of our UK depots, including the London depot. Please make sure you have already placed your order with us, and that we have advised you that your order is ready for collection.
