Business Removals

Crates

Efficient collection and delivery of crates is key to the smooth running of a business relocation.

Crates are normally rented and our service partners share our nationwide coverage and values, which ensures that we always have a consistent supply of crates and packing materials across the country.

It is essential to keep track of the number of crates in and out of your move and have specific deadlines for employees and team leaders.

Count crates in and out

• Crate hire agreement will specify a delivery date several days in advance of your move, so you will have plenty of time to make arrangements for distribution of crates. They will also specify a return date several days after the move.
• Ensure you have adequate room to store crates while they are distributed to your staff and then returned to the same place.
• Make sure your staff know the return dates for these crates not just to be returned to the supplier but also unpack date and return to storage area in your office.

Hints and tips

We will provide a range of crates for the packing of files, paperwork and stock. See below for some hints and tips for packing crates.

• Empty crates are delivered in stacks of 20-25, nested into one another for space economy.
• Crates can be used to pack most office items such as files/paperwork/books/desk contents.
• Crates should not be filled over the stacking bars or lid.
• Crates should never be places on desks in case they fall off.
• Take care not to overfill the crates. Each crate should be light enough to be carried by one person with care and 2 people with ease.
