Why Hire Plastic Moving Crates in London
Cardboard boxes collapse when stacked, absorb moisture in wet conditions, and go straight to landfill after one use. Our heavy-duty plastic crates are waterproof, stackable under load, and reused across hundreds of moves as part of our eco-conscious operation.
Key practical differences:
-
Waterproof: no softening or tearing in wet weather on London streets
-
Rigid under stack: safe to stack three crates high in the van, maximising load space and reducing vehicle trips
-
Integrated lids: no tape needed, faster to pack and open
-
Tamper-evident seals available: used on confidential document and IT moves
-
Reusable: crates cut cardboard waste as part of our ULEZ-compliant, low-emission approach to moving
Types of Crate Available
Standard Lidded Crates
Suited to books, kitchen items, clothing and general household goods. The crocodile-clip lid locks shut without tape. These are the most commonly hired crate for house and flat moves.
Computer and IT Crates
Wider internal dimensions to fit monitors, towers and peripherals. Commonly paired with anti-static bubble wrap for office and commercial moves where equipment must arrive ready to plug in.
Metre-Long Archive Crates
Designed for law firms, medical practices and document-heavy offices. Files, binders and shelf runs transfer in original order so unpacking at the new address takes hours rather than days.
Delivery and Collection
We deliver crates to your home or office ahead of pack day and collect the empties once you've finished unpacking. Same-day delivery may be available for urgent bookings across most London zones, subject to availability. Our delivery vehicles are ULEZ-compliant.
Process:
-
Request a quote and confirm crate types, quantities and hire period
-
We deliver to your door or office floor at the agreed time
-
You pack at your own pace
-
Call or message when you're ready, and we collect the empties from your new address
Office Crate Hire in London
For office relocations, crate hire reduces the risk of damage to documents, IT equipment and confidential files compared with cardboard. Archive crates keep filing in sequence. IT crates hold monitors and towers securely. Tamper-evident seals are available for sensitive material.
We supply crates as part of our full office removals service or as standalone hire for businesses managing their own move-day logistics.
