  • Plastic packing crates are extremely hygienic as they can be hygienically washed and are made from virgin raw materials.

 

 

  • Plastic packing crates are strong and robust allowing for added security and protection when in transit and storage.

 

 

  • Plastic lidded moving crates are weatherproof and protects your belongings against adverse weather.Crate Hire Benefits

A Quick Guide to Using Our Plastic Packing Crates

Below are guidelines to using our hire crates to pack, move and relocate your home or office.

 

  • When filling and packing your crates, please ensure that you do not overfill, as over filled crates cannot be stacked and take up more space. Belongings and items can also be damaged by overfilling.

 

 

  • If you are using our attached lidded packing crates, please ensure that the integrated lid can be shut properly for security reasons and stacking purposes. If you are wishing to securely seal the full crates please use our crate security seals.

 

 

  • When packing delicate items in the crates, use our packing paper, bubble wrap and packing tape to ensure added protection when in transit or storage. Clearly mark the crate as "fragile"

 

 

  • If labelling the moving crates is required please use our "easy peel" crate adhesive labels on the short ends of the crates. Please refrain from using any normal tape to fix paper labels or seal the crate itself.

 

 

  • If you are wanting to pack and relocate computers and IT equipment, please use our IT computer crates (IT1 and IT2) and not our standard moving crates. Our IT computer crates have been specifically designed for moving computers and IT equipment.

 

 

  • In the interests of Health & Safety, please only stack the crates 4 high when full to reduce any potential accidents that can happen when over stacking packing crates.

 

 

  • Do not use our crates for transporting and storing building materials (i.e. aggregates, bricks and concrete) as this will damage the crates and may incur an additional charge for damage.

 


  • When receiving our hire crates upon delivery or collection from our depots, it is important that you check and agree with the number of crates and products delivered or collected to avoid any additional charges for any lost or missing crates. A signature will be required for both collection and delivery to confirm the numbers of crates.
