What is Crate Hire?

Crate rental has become big business in the UK. Whether you are moving offices, libraries or home you will need containers to move your belongings safely and securely. Crate hire companies tend to offer crates in different sizes for general tasks or specific tasks e.g. IT crates for moving computers etc.

The Retail industry also uses crates but tends to refer to them as totes. Often the retail totes are available in stackable lidless varieties as opposed to removal crates that tend to be stackable and lidded.

In retail we have seen the industry turn to RTP or returnable transit packaging in order to save money and improve the eco-friendliness of the retail industry as a whole.

Before RTP (Reusable Transit Packaging – plastic crates) cardboard boxes were used in transport, but cardboard boxes are not particularly strong so would be easily damaged with even the slightest knocks in transit – crates however are far more resilient and will keep the contents safe and secure from damage as well as theft. Cardboard boxes were also only used for one trip packaging, so would not be reused. Crates, though they may be more expensive upfront, will last for many years and will pay for themselves in no time at all when you consider the stock is less likely to be damaged in transit and you are thus less likely to have stock shrinkage due to damage. Crates tend to be sealable so you will also lose less stock due to theft.

We hope, with your help, we can make the already great UK Crate hire industry even better.
