Our non-slip skates are widely used not just for moving crates, but also for moving office furniture, and other large items.
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.
The roll cage is often used to move and relocate valuable items such as IT equipment, servers, and computers by professional removals companies and with the fully lockable roof and door can be used in the most sensitive of moves.
Hire Sack Barrows
Our heavy-duty, metal, sack barrow/sack truck is a simple yet strong and robust product, ideal for making your life easier when moving multiple plastic moving boxes at once.
The high back, allows for large loads, or multiple crates to be carried at once. The large heavy-duty wheels help manoeuvrability over most terrains.
The strong metal frame makes this an extremely robust, durable and reliable truck, suitable for long periods of use.
This sack barrow features ergonomic, rubber handles for secure grip, which makes moving heavy loads easier and more comfortable.
Hire Non-slip Skates & Dollys
Our rubber topped skate is the ideal choice for moving crates around the office. The rubber top makes it non-slip, and the rubber casters are designed to keep floors safe from harm.
Our skates are not just good for moving crates, they are also fantastic for the safe movement of desks and other furniture. Many removals companies combine skates to move larger items easily.
Hire Library Trolleys
The Library trolly is perfect for library moves or office moves that contain large bookshelves, files or records management. The robust 6 shelved, two-sided library trolley is designed to be the same width as a standard library shelf so that books can be moved in their original order, by 6 shelves simultaneously.
The folding design helps reduce storage space when not in use and the rubber covered wheels make this manoeuvrable and easy to use.
Buy Anti-Static Bubble Wrap & Eco Bubble Wrap Rolls
Bubble wrap has long been a staple of moving home and office due to its incredible durability and protective properties, unfortunately, standard bubble-wrap is not recyclable. This eco-conscious solution has now replaced our standard bubble-wrap.
Please note, this bubble-wrap is not anti-static, so shouldn’t be used on static-sensitive equipment
Which is why we also stock anti-static bubble wrap for moving static-sensitive items such as electronics and computer components. This is not currently biodegradable as we are still trying to source it.
Crate Rental Accessories
Besides our hiring crates and equipment to move them, we also provide accessories and additional products such as security seals, labels, and more. View the full range of accessories on our crate hire shop.
Standard and numbered security seals
Our seals are the perfect way to keep crates and their contents secure and safe during office or home moves. The security seals can be used to lock the lid shut so it is not easily opened during transit or in storage. Numbered seals have the added advantage of being numbered when the chain of custody is vital.
Seals need to be cut in order to gain access to the contents of the crate and if security (and chain of custody) is vitally important then we can supply numbered seals are vital.
Computer screen protectors
Screen Protectors are designed for the safe moving, packing, and transport of computer monitors/screens.
We supply both medium and large screen protectors, the SPR and the XLSPR which is designed to protect flat screen monitors up to 32″. Pluscrates quilted SPR’s feature velcro straps for quick and easy secure covering and sewn in synthetic fiberboard inserts for added protection.
Bubble Wrap Bags
This is a bubblewrap bag made of high-quality anti-static bubble wrap. Antistatic protective packaging is necessary for items or devices that are static-sensitive (ESD) such as computer processors, servers and other IT equipment. If you handle office moves on a regular basis then you will be well aware of the importance of protecting fragile computer components such as RAM, HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and SSD’s (Solid State Drives) from any static electricity.
Labels
Furniture and moving crate labels. Low tack and available in different colours for easy cataloguing and logistics.
