Our lidded standard hire crate is a popular choice to move, store or relocate and is the industrial standard for all moving containers.

Our lidded crates add protection against the weather when placed outside for a small amount of time.
4. Standard Unlidded Hire Crate - CHA3
An unlidded version of our standard crate (CH3) is also available to rent on a weekly basis. With metal bale arms that retract when empty they can be nested and stacked on top of each other when fully packed. A very efficient moving crate for your home and office move.
5. One Metre Long Unlidded Container - CHA6
Just as the unlidded standard hire crate, our metre long crate the CHA6 for moving files, folders, lateral filing and books also has no lid and is extremely strong and industrial. When full the metal bale arms can be protracted to allow for stacking of the hire crates, and if empty you can also nest the rental container inside of each other. This crate is designed for maximum efficiency when packing and unpacking.
6. Metre Long Lidded Rental Crate - CH6
The lidded version of our unlidded one metre crate is our CH6 the lidded metre book crate that allows the user to secure the interlocking attached lid when the hire crate is full.

When you reach your destination, simply unhang your files and rehang in order. How easy is that?
8. IT Server Moving Plastic Crate - ITC1
Computer servers are an essential part of any business, which is why our specially designed server moving crate is built to provide added protection and security when moving your IT servers from one location to another. The large 165-litre capacity can easily carry the bulkiest of computer equipment, including keyboards and monitors, and can be secured with our crate security seals. Sack barrows or roll cages allow for easy handling when the rental crates are full.

Our computer rental crates are built to move computer workstations in their entirety including, keyboards, monitors, cables and mice. Using the interlocking lid, they are fully securable; our computer rental crate makes sure that all of the components are kept together when in transit or storage for easy assembly at the final location.
Anti static bubble wrap bags and keyboard protection sleeves can also be purchased to protect the high valued items. 2 handles to lift the crate are on the sides for easy lifting and manoeuvring.
Lidded or Unlidded Plastic Boxes and Containers?
Most of our rental crates have integrated interlocking lids attached to them for security purposes when moving, storing or relocating belongings and items. You can securely seal the crate using our special security seals that can be purchased online. If more significant security is needed we also sell sequentially numbered tamper proof crate seals.
Full lidded hire crates can be stacked on top of each other's closed lid and nest within each other when empty to save space when moving or relocating your home or office. Similarly, our choice of unlidded rental crates can also be stacked and nested using the integrated metal bars but offer no option to secure the crates' contents with plastic seals.
Plastic Crate Strength
All of our plastic move crates are made from virgin grade polypropylene, which gives the rental boxes their extreme strength and robustness. Containers made out of plastic are difficult to break or shatter and are very durable; making them ideal for the hard work of moving, storing or relocating your office or home.
They can be recycled and used again at the end of their life, creating a fully 100% recyclable moving solution; making crate rental an ideal environmentally-friendly choice for moving, storing or removals over cardboard moving boxes.
Our crates are also weatherproof if needing to leave outside for a short period. Still, they are not waterproof so contents can be damaged if left unattended in extreme weather conditions or left for an extended time.
Rent Plastic Storage Crate Accessories
Our plastic storage crates are available for you to hire, and we also have accessories that can be purchased at the time of order through our online crate rental shop. Alternatively, you may place your order by phone and include the following items to help you in your move.
- Anti-static bubble wrap bags to help protect electrical equipment and components from static charges built up in storage or transit. We recommend using these bags in conjunction with our IT server and computer moving totes.
- Keyboard protective sleeves for protecting and keeping keyboards, mice and cables dust free when relocating workstations.
- Bubble wrap rolls for wrapping and protecting items individually before packing our removal crates.
