Rentacrate, Inc., The Crate Company, offers the only fully integrated moving system in the world making moves faster, more efficient, and less expensive. Rentacrate is the original crate rental company in the United States and the largest in North America, renting hundreds of thousands of crates per week. In addition to The Complete Moving System™ of crates, Rentacrate also offers a complete line of file, book, computer, and machine carts, dollies, and packaging accessories for all of your moving equipment needs.

The Complete Moving System™, a combination of specially designed crates and dollies, is THE cost effective alternative to cardboard boxes and traditional methods of office relocations. Based on labor savings, efficiencies, and environmental awareness, The Complete Moving System™ results in a faster move and significant cost savings by reducing the amount of labor and time required to complete a successful relocation project.

Rentacrate is also proud to contribute to environmental awareness by promoting reusable and recyclable materials. Waste disposal is a major concern for everyone and in particular, facility managers. Crates have an average life span of over 10 years. Rentacrate is proud to offer products that are not only reusable and recyclable, but also less expensive to use than their equivalent, the cardboard box. Consider that for every crate produced, 10 trees are preserved and less waste produced. The environment is large beyond our imagination, but even small contributions help preserve it for all.
