Logistics

The prospect of any move is always daunting, but it's a reality we all must face from time to time. 
But for teachers or lecturers facing a class or school move, it's important the upheaval doesn't impact 
on the students' day-to-day lives. Luckily, in the education sector there are windows of opportunities to plan a move, such as the summer holidays, so teachers and site managers can get on with the job in relative peace!

Keep track of everything with barcode tracking

Teachers and lecturers accumulate a lot of important and confidential documents over the course of the academic year, so we know how important it is to you to keep track of your records. As the first crate hire company to introduce barcoded crates, we are the specialists in tracking and tracing boxes in a user friendly way, while also avoiding the durability and disposal issues found with cardboard boxes. Marking every individual crate ready for the big move can be time consuming. As one of the most trusted providers of business-move equipment in the UK, we developed a barcoding tracking service for crate labels, skates and cages. This technology allows for better crate management through effective tracking and traceability, with information available in real time, and eliminates unnecessary or unbudgeted costs for schools and universities. This system tracks each individual crate, identifying the location to help prevent loss, ensuring that your belongings arrive at the correct location.

Protect expensive computer equipment

We also have a range of specific crates and boxes, designed to safely store and transport valuable contents. Our flat screen computer crate offers a highly protective solution for moving your IT computer equipment, constructed from polypropylene, this crate is tough and hard-wearing while the attached lidded feature ensures they can easily be secured shut. Designed to industry specification our flat screen computer crate has been created to provide safe and secure storage for computers with flat screen monitors.

We provide a range of accessories such as keyboard bags, polythene bubble bags, packaging paper and cable ties are available to help keep the contents of our rental crates extra secure.

Keep your files safe and intact
