Crate Information

It's a Great Way to Move!

Office Relocation is often complicated and expensive. Box 'n Crate Hire can help with solutions that will reduce your costs, improve efficiency and become more sustainable - all at the same time.

Robust, Clean, Strong Lidded Crates - More than Just a Plastic Box:

Our durable BC3 Office & BC4 Computer Crates were designed exclusively for the moving industry with built-in handles and an interlocking system for secure stacking.

Made of injection molded polypropylene, the crates are built to last.
They are weatherproof, lockable, clean and complete with an attached lid.

The BC3 Office Crate is perfect for the safe and secure relocation of documents, files, folders, cupboard and desk contents and any other items found in a workplace environment.

Use the BC4 Computer Crate to safely transport complete Desktop PC systems or anything that doesn't fit into the office crate. To secure sensitive materials, tamper-resistant numbered security seals can be purchased.

Crate Benefits:

• Reduce costs - very affordable rates
• Reduce down time - no box building required
• Lockable - increase security for sensitive material
• Crushproof - no damage to packed contents
• Increase moving truck capacity - easy stacking/uniform shape
• Reduce disposal costs and post-move clean-up time
• Reduce waste

It's All About Efficiency:

Your staff will immediately recognise the ease that reusable crates add to the move. The crates arrive clean & ready to be packed - no box building required. They are easy to fill, stack and move around on the skates which are specially designed to hold three stacked crates. The packing process is simple and eliminates the need for heavy lifting.

Packing Crates using Skates:

• First staff members place an empty crate on top of a skate and pack it.
• Then an empty crate is stacked on top of the full one and, again, packed. Using coloured labels designating the different floors and office departments will keep your move organised and make unpacking easier.
• Once the skate is loaded with three packed crates, the stack can be stored and wheeled onto the truck on moving day. At the destination, the process is reversed.
• Alternatively crates can be removed from the skate at the storage area for further handling by a removalist. The skate can then be re-used by staff to pack further crates.

How Many Crates Do You Need?

It is difficult to predict just how many crates you will require for your relocation. To help assess your needs, we've developed a crate calculator - simply answer a few questions and our calculator will give you an estimate of the number of crates required! This number will automatically be transferred into the instant quote form. Add quantities of all other products you require, complete invoicing information and you’ll be instantly presented with an accurate quote.

Moving Tip:

Stack crates on a pallet, 4 to 5 high, wrap with cling wrap and move with a forklift!
