Crate Hire. Made for London & UK.
We pride ourselves on offering a premium service to our customers, but it’s more affordable than you might expect. We offer a wide range of plastic moving crates to make your house move, office move, relocation or removal as simple and cost-effective as possible. Our products range from personal LC1 to the LMC metre-long crate that can be used for entire metre-long bookshelves found in libraries and schools and IT-specific crates such as the IT3 and IT6 computer crates. Though by far the most popular crate hired in the commercial relocation industry for home or office moves are the LC3 “standard crate” or the LC2, the narrower size makes it ideal for carrying up and down stairs.
We also have a wide selection of manual handle equipment and crate hire accessories, such as the secure roll cage, sack barrow and non-slip skate. All are designed to make your move as simple as possible.
If you would like further information on our crate hire solutions for commercial relocation, facilities management or retail and distribution, there is more information on the relevant pages. For small personal moves such as home moves or one-off small business moves, please feel free to hire crates from our online store, as you will ensure you get the best rates for small moves.

Hire Roll Cages
The Security roll cage is a sturdy metal roll cage with a single internal shelf providing two loading surfaces. It has a variety of uses, including storing and moving crates when full.
The cage has a roof and is fully lockable, which means that the contents can be securely stored.
While the roll cage is commonly used in retail and distribution it is hugely popular in the relocation and mover industry with its robust metal construction and easy manoeuvrability even when fully loaded. It also features a lid that is lockable (with security seals or padlocks etc.) so that contents can be stored securely – a must when moving important and sensitive items. Popular in IT and office moves for servers.
Our heavy-duty roll cage hire is available on a weekly rental basis and is available for as long as you require.
