Mooving TotesRent. Pack. Moove.
The tote

One tote.
Built like a tank.

Every Mooving Tote is the same 64 litre heavy duty container with a snap on lid. Same size, same strength, every single time. That is the whole point: uniform totes stack square, load tight and never collapse halfway up the stairs.

Anatomy

Four parts. Nothing to break.

A single Mooving Tote with a yellow lid, shown at an angle 1 2 3 4
  1. Snap on lidClips at four points and stays clipped. No tape, no folding flaps, no box cutter needed at the other end. The recessed top means a loaded tote sits flat under the one above it.
  2. Moulded end handlesRecessed into both short walls so two people can carry from either end without the tote twisting. Nothing to snap off and no cut-out that lets rain in.
  3. Ribbed side wallsVertical ribs run the full height, which is what stops the walls bowing when the tote is full. This is why the bottom tote in a six high stack holds its shape.
  4. Tapered nesting baseEmpty totes nest inside each other, so 25 of them take up about the floor space of three. Full totes stack squarely instead of nesting.

Callout positions are indicative. Final photography will show the real hardware.

Spec sheet

The numbers,
if you like numbers.

One size, on purpose. A single tote size is what makes a truck load tightly and a stack stay square. No sorting through five box formats at 7am on move day.

Capacity

What actually fits in one tote.

A single tote comfortably holds

  • Around 25 to 30 hardcover books, which is already close to 50 lb
  • The contents of one standard kitchen cupboard
  • Two to three drawers of folded clothing
  • A dinner service for six, wrapped and stood on edge
  • One shelf of a bookcase plus the decor around it
  • A desk drawer, cables, chargers and a laptop lying flat

Roughly the same volume as a medium cardboard box, but it will not tear, sag or need taping shut.

Why rent

Six reasons people never go back.

You get hours back

No sourcing, no folding, no taping and no breaking down. That is a full evening on either side of the move.

Loads pack tighter

Identical rectangles stack square and fill a truck with no gaps. Fewer trips, and a lower bill if you hired movers.

Nothing gets crushed

Rigid walls and a clipped lid mean the tote at the bottom of the stack holds its shape and its contents.

They come to you

Free delivery and free pickup at your door, whatever floor that door is on. No van rental to collect boxes.

Rain is not a problem

Lids on, water stays out. A soaked cardboard box on a driveway in March is how people lose photo albums.

Zero cleanup

No cardboard mountain in the garage and nothing to drive to the depot. You message us and the totes disappear.

Handle with sense

The only three rules.

Rule one 50 lb per tote

Rigid does not mean weightless. Books and dishes hit the limit long before the tote is full, so spread them out.

Rule two Pack flat to the rim

The lid only clips when the top is level, and only a clipped tote can be stacked. One lamp poking out costs you a whole column.

Rule three Keep it dry and clean

No wet paint, solvents, food waste or anything hazardous. Normal wear and normal dirt are on us, and cleaning is always free.

Ready when you are

Get the totes. Skip the cardboard.

Free delivery, free pickup and reusable labels in every package. Pick a size and a date and they will be at your door before you need them.
