The LMC Library Crate
What makes the LMC perfect for libraries?
Well, the LMC is a metre-long crate designed to fit the width of standard library shelving. During a library move, one perfectly alphabetised shelf can be placed in a crate so that everything can stay in order during the move or relocation. That is why the LMC has become the industry standard for Library moves throughout the UK. If you are a professional removal company tasked with moving a library, or a library that is taking on an internal move by itself, the first crate to add to your list is the LMC.
Solutions Crates for Every problem Requirement
From the baby L1C to the MAMMOTH IT6, we have a crate that’s perfect for you.
L1C Personal Lidded Moving Crate – Small
The L1C is the smallest crate in our range, perfect for moving personal items securely. Widely used in office moves as a “locker crate” for the personal belongings of staff members from their locker or desk, ideally sized to one per employee. This can handle items that are approximately A4 in size, such as magazines and booklets and other small personal possessions.
As these are our smallest crates, they are also ideally suited to people that may struggle to lift the larger containers when full.

The L2C is also widely used in retail distribution where they are called totes as opposed to crates.
