MoovinBox is an Edinburgh-based crate hire service built on a simple idea: moving day is hard enough without fighting with cardboard boxes.
We started MoovinBox because we'd been there ourselves. The last-minute dash to the supermarket for boxes. The tape that runs out halfway through. The boxes that give way on the stairs. Moving in Edinburgh — with the tenement flats and tight stairwells — doesn't need any extra complications.
The answer was already being used by professional removal firms. Heavy-duty plastic crates: stackable, strong, no assembly required, and the same size every time. They stack properly in a van, they don't buckle under weight, and they come with lids that actually stay on.
The catch was you had to hire a full removal firm to get access to them. We thought that was daft. Why not just hire the crates?
So that's what MoovinBox is. You book online, we deliver the crates to your door, you pack and move at your own pace, and we collect when you're done. No fuss, no trips to the tip, no cardboard mountain to deal with at the end.
We're a small Edinburgh team and every move matters to us. If something's not right, you can reach a real person — not a chatbot.

Reusable crates are just the sensible choice. It happens to be the green one too — each crate does 300+ moves before retirement.

Moving day is already a logistical puzzle. We show up when we say we will. Full stop.
