Moving Crate Hire

If you've searched for crate hire, you're in the right place — moving crates, totes, tubs: different names, same brilliant idea. Our commercial crates have hinged lids and nest neatly inside one another once you've unpacked, so they take up less room while you wait for collection.

Crate hire is how offices and removalists have moved for years. We bring the same commercial-grade kit to Sunshine Coast households, with delivery and collection charged by zone and free when the tote hire exceeds $200.

FAQs

Common questions

What's the difference between a crate and a tote?

Nothing meaningful — "crate" is the common Australian trade term, "tote" is the American one, and plenty of people say tubs or bins. They're all the same hinged-lid plastic moving container.

How strong are the crates?

Each crate has a 65-litre volume and 40 kg capacity and is designed to stack securely. The hinged lids interlock so stacks stay square on a dolly or in the truck.

How many moving boxes do I need?

As a rule of thumb: 15 totes for a studio or 1-bedroom, 25 for a 2-bedroom, 35 for a 3-bedroom and 50 for a 4-bedroom home. Every package includes a moving dolly, and you can add extra weeks at checkout if unpacking takes longer.

Do you deliver and pick up?

Yes — delivery before your move and collection after you unpack are part of every hire. We service the greater Noosa area, Coolum, Gympie, and (on Sundays) Maroochydore–Nambour. Use the address checker on our home page for an instant answer and delivery price for your postcode.

How long is the hire period?

Every package includes 2 weeks, which suits most local moves — totes arrive a few days before moving day and we collect once you have unpacked. Need longer? Add extra weeks at checkout for a small weekly rate.

Are the crates clean?

Yes. Between every hire, each crate is cleaned with a non-toxic sanitiser that is cruelty-free and made without harsh chemicals — safer for your family, pets and the environment.

How are the crates kept fresh?

After cleaning, the crates are treated with deodorising drops that are cruelty-free and made without harsh chemicals — safer for your family, pets and the environment.
