Our experienced relocation teams manage the movement of sensitive and high value equipment, including:
- Telecommunications hardware
- Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
- Air-conditioning units and condensers
- Server racks and associated IT infrastructure
Our crews are trained in both logistics and technical handling, allowing them to carry out:
- De-racking and re-racking of equipment
- Safe disconnection and reconnection support
- Careful positioning and installation at the new location
This ensures equipment is not only transported safely but also ready for rapid reinstatement.
Purpose Built Vehicles for Equipment Protection
Protecting sensitive equipment in transit is a core part of our service. Our vehicles are specifically equipped to support technical equipment relocation, including:
- Air-ride suspension to minimise vibration
- Multiple load-lock systems for secure positioning
- Double strapping and protective coverings
- Specialist handling equipment for safe loading and unloading
These features ensure that all items remain stable, protected, and secure throughout the journey.
Temperature Controlled Transport
Maintaining the right environment during transit is essential, particularly for sensitive IT and electronic equipment.
Our vehicles are fitted with heated load compartments to maintain stable ambient temperatures, reducing the risk of damage caused by cold conditions during transport. This is especially important during winter relocations, where temperature fluctuations can impact performance and reliability.
Planned Relocations to Minimise Downtime
IT and data centre relocations demand precise scheduling to reduce disruption to business operations.
We work closely with clients to plan each project in detail, often scheduling moves outside of standard working hours. Weekend relocations are common, with operations typically beginning on Friday evenings to allow systems to be back online as quickly as possible.
Secure and Monitored Transport
For larger or more complex relocations, consignments may be split across multiple vehicles. This approach reduces risk and provides additional security in the event of unforeseen incidents.
All movements are supported by advanced tracking and communication systems, ensuring:
- Continuous visibility of each shipment
- Accurate, real time status updates
- Clear coordination across all stages of the move
