Crate Hire

Your Go To Guide For Crate Hire

Frequently Asked Questions

Below we answer critical questions about renting our crates for moving or storage purposes, including crate types, hire costs, and how to return them.

Hanley’s has high-quality, heavy-duty reusable crates to hire when moving your goods. We deliver these affordable crates to your office or home, and when the move finishes, we collect them. This service is a suitable, eco-friendly alternative to using cardboard boxes.

Depending on the size of your house or office determines the number of crates you need to hire. For instance, a flat or small two-bedroom house might need 50-60 crates, while a large home or office might need over 100. Our team will help you estimate the number of hire crates you need.

Hanley’s has the best value crate hire in Ireland, from as little as €1.00 per week. Using these crates can reduce your recycling and rubbish after the move. Our friendly office staff will give you all the information you need to get started.

Our minimum hire term is one week, and the maximum is several months. We also pick the crates up as soon as possible after unpacking them to remove them from your path. For more details, please phone our office.

Once you order our hire crates, we will deliver them to the specified address. Please phone us for collection after your move or storage period. Pick-up is usually the next working day.                        

Labelling the crates makes it easier to organise your goods. You can use the labels to mark the contents of each room and the goods inside. We will use the labels to place each crate in the designated room at your new location.

Yes, here are some tips!

  • Place heavier items on the bottom and lighter items on top.
  • Use paper or bubble wrap to keep fragile items from breaking.
  • Pack the crates tightly, leaving no free space. Use clothing or soft toys if necessary.
  • Close and secure the crate lids to ensure safe stacking.

The hire crates are strong plastic boxes that withstand moving house and office rigours. Additionally, they are weatherproof and eco-friendly (made from recycled materials) to better protect your goods.

Hanley’s crates are suitable for house and office moves. They are perfect for keeping files, folders, IT equipment, and personal goods safe and secure during the move.

We recommend stacking the hire crates no higher than four high. Always have the heavy crates at the bottom and lighter ones on top. Our movers will stack them higher but have the facility to keep them secure and stop them from falling or tipping over.

Once we hire you the crates, you are responsible for loss or damage. However, we fully understand the problems when moving and accidents happen. Let our office know if a crate is damaged or missing, and we will quickly solve the issue.

We hire crates for long—and short-term storage. Our affordable and flexible terms allow you to keep the crates for as long as needed. When you no longer need them, we will arrange for immediate collection.

We provide packing for the hire crates, including paper, tape, bubble wrap, and security tags to seal them. You can order the packing material when ordering the hire crates.

If you need additional crates during your house or office move, contact our office, and we will deliver them. Hanley’s Removals fully understand that extra packaging might be needed during moving, which is not a problem.

When you are finished moving into your new home, contact our office, and we will quickly arrange to pick up the crates. We will come to your location to pick up the crates, making the return process quick and hassle-free.
