add_circle_outline Do the crates have attached lids?

add_circle_outline How many lever arch files can fit into a CH3 plastic crate?
The CH3 crate is perfect for moving and storing lever arch files. You can fit about 8 to 10 lever arch files into your CH3 standard packing crates
add_circle_outline Can I lift a standard moving crate on my own?
The CH3 standard moving crate has an internal capacity of 80 litres and is our most popular crate for moving and storing. However we would recommend to carefully pack your crate with both light and heavy items rather than just heavy items like paper or books. This is because you will find the crate too heavy to carry on your own if you fill it with all heavy items. In this instance where only heavier items are being packed we would recommend our CH2 crate which is slightly smaller but easier to handle manually. This crate is especially useful when you have to carry the boxes up and down stairs.
add_circle_outline Do moving crates nest and stack?
Absolutely, your crates will come nested inside each other up to 20 crates per stack, allowing for easy handling just when you need them. Once you have packed your crate you can then stack them on top of each other to save valuable moving and storage space.
Moving with plastic crates is up to five times quicker than using traditional moving boxes made from cardboard?
