Welcome to Pluscrates
Pluscrates has been a leading name in UK crate hire since 2008. In 2023 the Pluscrates brand was bought by The Hill Company to continue providing excellence and experience in the crate rental market. Since 2010 Pluscrates have been the largest independent crate hire company in the UK, and we provide nationwide service from our regional service centres in Bristol, Livingston, London, and Manchester. Pluscrates operates ULEZ-compliant vehicles, which we use to deliver crates nationally daily. We pride ourselves on the fact that we offer a premium service at all levels. If you need to rent a crate, you should rent a crate from us!

Range of Crates
LC1 “personal crate”
The LC1 lidded crate is the smallest product Pluscrates supply and is often referred to as a ‘locker crate’, ideal for moving personal belongings safely and securely; commonly used in the relocation of hot-desking environments. The L1C is a heavy-duty plastic crate featuring integrated lifting handles and an interlocking lid. Designed to store or move items that are A4 or smaller in size. e.g. paper, brochures, and magazines. For added security, use our security seals.
LC3 “Standard crate”
The LC3 crate, or ‘standard crate’ as it is often referred to, is our most popular crate and the standard crate within the removal industry for easily moving homes or offices.
The LC3 crate is a lidded office removal crate that nests and is stackable with lids in the closed position—designed to work with the A3 crate and retain complete compatibility with the relocation industry’s standard specifications in size and strength. The LC3 is also widely used in retail distribution and automotive logistics.
The LC3 hire crate is made from heavy-duty plastic featuring integrated lifting handles and an interlocking lid. It is designed to store or move your items safely and securely due to its strong, robust, and weatherproof construction. For added security, use our crate security seals. Simply a great crate.

The IT3 computer crate nests and is stackable with lids in the closed position. Specifically designed for the safe transit of individual flat-screen desktop PC systems, the IT3 computer crate is widely used in commercial relocation with specialist use in lean production.
LC2 “Stair crate”
The LC2 is slightly smaller than the “standard lidded crate” (the LC3). Our medium LC2 crate or “stair crate” is a compact lidded moving container perfect for easier handling on stairs. This is the most popular moving crate for home moves,

Crates Advanced
One crate is very much like another; unless the crate you hire is supplied manufactured by Advanced Crates or rented to you by Pluscrates. Whenever you need to hire a crate for your own use or rent a crate to a client make sure that it has been built and supplied by a quality company and it is not just another plastic box. At our crate rental and hire company, we only buy our crates and boxes from Advanced Crates advancedcrates.com and that is why we can be sure that each and every moving crate and plastic container we supply has been built with care and quality in mind.
Crate hire for moving home, office or storage
Whether you are reorganising an office, moving premises, need crates for moving house or simply looking to store office contents in safe returnable transit packaging (RTP) we can make sure that the plastic boxes and containers rented to you are exactly the right boxes or containers that you need to properly pack your office contents. We will only rent or hire the precise totes, plastic boxes and containers you need to properly pack your crates whether you are packing valuable electronics, IT equipment, files, books or general documents. We offer a complete transport crate delivery service placing the crates you hire to the building and floor specified by you.
Quality Crate Hire, Quality Materials, Quality Service
Our crates are made from high-quality materials and clearly marked with our logo, making them easy to identify in an office or in a storage facility. We are proud to provide crates that come to you clean and fit for purpose. We take environmental stewardship very seriously and so we clean all of our crates without flushing away harmful chemicals in a wash process. If you wish to buy crates or plastic containers rather than renting crates we can supply these manufactured from recycled material and manufactured in the colour black. For more information on the supply of crates manufactured in re-cycled plastic material contact us.
Storage crates, moving crates, packing crates… Is there a difference? Well not really! It is just what you are going to utilise them for. Our crates are perfect for long-term storage. Their heavy duty plastic construction and weather-proof design make them ideal for use in self-storage. They are better suited to stacking than cardboard boxes and won’t
Pluscrates offer a comprehensive selection of plastic removal crates in a range of types and sizes to make your move simple, effortless and easy. Whether you are moving offices as part of a commercial relocation or moving home. From the smallest L1C ‘personal crate’ to metre long (library shelf width for moving books a whole shelf at a time) and ‘computer crates’ (and server crates) – we have an ideal solution. Our elegantly designed and manufactured crates are made to industry specification with interlocking lids and sturdy construction for stacking.
Specialist Equipment
From our metre-long crates perfect for library shelves and filing cabinet moves to our roll-cages and sack-trucks – we have the packing crates and manual handling equipment to make your move or relocation a breeze.
Security Roll Cage
The Security Roll-Cage is an A-frame 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. Use our numbered security seals when CoC (chain of custody) is vital to your project. Roll Cage Hire
Non-Slip Skate/Dolly
The NSK or non-slip skate features a rubberised top so that crates won’t slip off while being moved.
The skate or dolly as it’s sometimes referred is great for moving crates around the office and also for the safe movement of desks and other furniture that are too bulky to carry. The design of the skate means you can easily use more than one to move larger items.
Sack Barrow
The SBR or sack barrow is a heavy-duty metal construction sack barrow (AKA Sack Truck) for moving stacked full or empty and nested crates around. Rubber wheels for ease of use and to protect floors. Sack Barrow hire.
