Crate Hire for School or College Refurbishments

School or College Refurbishment and looking for storage crates?


Crate hire from PPS.

Now that autumn is here summer seems long gone and all the children are back at school and college some of our rental crates are starting to return. 

Over the summer holiday period schools and colleges often undergo refurbishments whilst the students are out of the way.  Whilst the work is taking place they need somewhere safe to store all their equipment and files to protect them from damage.  This is where crate hire from PPS comes in.

of files or equipment

Our plastic crates are strong and durable with attached lids to protect the contents.  This makes them perfect for a school/college refurbishment.

We always experience increased demand for crate hire over the summer period.  Businesses also tend to be quieter at this time making it an ideal time to plan a move and create as little disruption as possible. 

Professional and commercial moves require crate hire to transport all the equipment and paperwork securely from the old premises to the new one. 

PPS hires crates for this use alongside removal equipment such as sack trucks and dollies for safe handling and bubble wrap for extra protection.   

We also hire specially designed computer crates to keep all the IT equipment together.

"Crate hire sure to be a busy time at PPS"


Therefore although the summer period is quiet for many industries it is a very busy time for the crate hire department at PPS. 

Now that our summer rentals are starting to return we are washing the rental crates and sending them straight out to new customers.  It looks like it’s going to be a busy autumn/winter for crate hire at PPS!

Crate Hire - The Key to crate rental and hire

Good quality equipment and a professional service is the key to crate hire


Crate Hire for Office Moves
PPS Make Office Moves Easy keeping
the customers satisfied and happy
When professional companies, local authorities, schools and hospitals embark on a location move they need it all to go without a hitch.  They cannot let their customers, patients or students down.

Directors, mangers and all key members of staff spend great time and money organising their move, sometimes years of planning can go into the larger scale relocations.  They will have a schedule in place and they will require a professional service from all their contract providers from the packers, to the transport right through to the all-important crate hire.

This is where PPS comes in; we pride ourselves in offering the best service to our customers.  The crate hire will be one part of the whole removal process but it is vital it goes to plan.  Without our rental crates there would be nothing to pack all the equipment in!  The hire crates and equipment will all arrive on time at the agreed location ready for use.  We can even offer next day and timed delivery slots if required.

Our expert commercial moves team will guide you throughout the process by advising on how many crates you will need to hire.  They will also let you know about all the other equipment on offer from our specially designed computer crates, sack barrows for safe handling right through to bubble wrap for added protection and crate labels for identification.  The commercial moves team will be available throughout your move and they can arrange for rental periods to be extended and extra crates can be hired.

The quality of the equipment that we hire out is second to none.   Our rental crates are strong and durable, ideal for transporting all your important equipment and documents securely.  The crates are also washed after every use to ensure that they are clean and ready for use when they arrive at each new customer.

Joanne Moss, Commercial moves manager at PPS Midlands said ‘we believe that it is the professional and quality service provided by PPS that ensures that our customers return to us for all their removal and storage requirements’

Crate Hire – Moving Offices or Premises

Plastic crates ready to go out to customers for transporting of files, documents or equipment

Crate Hire

Over the last few weeks our store room has almost reached bursting point as we prepare to launch our new crate hire service. After much planning and preparation we are now ready to go with our first rentals being sent out this week.

At PPS we now offer crate rental to our customers who are moving offices or refurbishing their existing spaces. We have invested in a large pool of lidded plastic crates that can be used to store all your files, documents and equipment.

With over 10 years of experience in the rental of returnable equipment crate hire for the removal and storage industry seemed like the perfect next step. We are bringing the vast knowledge we have gained renting out returnable boxes and providing a professional and reliable service to removals industry. One added advantage that we have over our competitors is an onsite wash plant where our removal crates will be washed and dried after each use, our rental crates will arrive customers on the agreed date clean and ready to use.

Surrounded by Bubble Wrap



Moving is a stressful time so we have made our service as easy to use as possible. All our equipment can be ordered online or by phone and our sales team can offer advice on the number of crates that you will need to hire. We can also be very flexible by extending your rental period if necessary and increasing the number of crates that you have on hire. Moving doesn’t always go to plan!

When we were investigating this new crate rental service we decided that we should offer a full range of removal equipment to complement our rental crates including dollies and sack barrows for safe handling and bubble wrap to protect the contents. We also have labels to help you identify the contents and security seals for added protection. Our store room is now so full with all our equipment I have boxes of labels under my desk!

After all the time and planning that has gone into our crate hire service it is really exciting to see all the orders coming in and the crates going out on rental. Before we know it our store room will be half empty!
