Postal Systems – Transportation and Installation ¦ Relay

Specialist Postal System Transportation and Installation Services

Relocating complex postal and mailing equipment requires accuracy, technical handling skills, and careful planning. Relay Technical Transport is a trusted specialist in this field, supporting organisations across the UK with the safe movement and installation of high value, heavy, and delicate postal systems.

Expertise in Mailing and Postal Equipment Relocation

With decades of experience, we understand that postal equipment is operationally critical. From franking machines and industrial guillotines to MTE (mailing transport equipment) and complete sorting systems, these assets must arrive on site without damage and ready to use.

Relay provides a complete service:

  • Collection from your current location
  • Secure packing and specialist transport
  • Installation and testing at the point of use
  • Optional training or familiarisation for end users

As a result, we are recognised as one of the UK’s leading providers of postal system relocation and technical transport.

Careful Planning, Smooth Execution

Successful relocation starts long before the equipment is moved. Every project begins with a detailed assessment of the site and any logistical challenges that may arise. 

Our planning includes:

  • Evaluating access routes, including narrow corridors, stairs, and lifts
  • Assessing loading and parking restrictions
  • Identifying risks and defining contingencies

We plan meticulously to minimise disruption and keep every step of the relocation on schedule. Our team understands that these systems are essential to business operations, so downtime must be kept to a minimum.

Specialist Vehicles Designed for Safe Transport

Postal and mailing equipment requires more than a standard van. Relay’s vehicles are fitted with specialist protective and safety technology, such as:

  • Air cushioned suspension to prevent vibration and shock damage
  • Real time GPS tracking for full visibility during transit
  • Padded interiors and secure fixing points for maximum protection

These features ensure that equipment remains safe throughout the journey and that customers can monitor progress from collection to delivery.

Technicians Who Install, Not Just Deliver

Relay’s crews are skilled engineers and technicians, not just handlers. They know how to manage, install, and position sensitive equipment with precision.

Our teams:

  • Carefully dismantle equipment if required
  • Reassemble systems on site
  • Test functionality to verify everything is operational
  • Provide guidance or demonstration if needed
