Server RelocationHalfway through the week and apart from the usual mix of logistics we have already completed a Luxembourg to Dusseldorf server relocation project and this morning are back out in Amsterdam in The Netherlands on our regular round robin to London Heathrow distributing computer networking equipment. Monday our handling and security procedures were put to the test for a high profile company who required a 3 rack server move from Luxembourg to Dusseldorf. Immediate feedback from our client's US customer was that the move was handled professionally and with military precision.
All equipment was de racked ready for labelling as per the rack elevation plan / build list and was then securely packed in our anti static lined bespoke server flight cases for the short trip to Dusseldorf.
Want to see more of the services we provide in the IT industry and current projects then take a look at our web page dedicated to his @ www.secure-transportation.co.uk/server_relocation.html or call us on +44(0) 208 432 2246 Measure Twice Cut Once As well as our range of specialist services we also do general cargo including imports and exports in and out of all UK and European airports. This one today on the 18th July 2018 was for an export of machinery weighing a total of 9800 kg. 6 pieces split across our Luton tail lift and a flat bed artic. I think the case packers did a "crate job". Measure twice cut once springs to mind as you can see the shipment just fitted in our Luton like a glove and the largest crate only just went through warehouse door at Swissport LHR!

 | Just back from Berlin in Germany for our client's annual tech summit delivering everything from t-shirts, a very large and heavy demo networking rack to all the office equipment and supplies for the event to take place. There and back via Amsterdam in 48 hours with an overnight stop and a beer and schnitzel of course! |
We decided to deliver this using our Mercedes Sprinter van coupled with our Innolift mobile fork truck rather than the Luton Tail Lift.
This is an invaluable specialist piece of kit which we haven't been without for the last 15 years. It loads itself in and out of all our panel vans including our small Renault Trafic and can lift up to 600 kg! Perfect for that last mile delivery in suburban areas where getting a tail lift vehicle or larger truck in can be awkward or even impossible.
Have a look at our Specialist Handling Equipment page on our website which has a selection of our kit that enables us to provide a bespoke and truly specialist logistics service to our clients.

Last job of the week for us and the second visit down to our clients clients' villa in the hills above Saint Tropez on the beautiful French Riviera. Could think of worst ways of spending a Sunday! Our Renault Trafic made the trip in one hit. 12 hour / 750 mile drive from Calais and my son has deserved a well earned beer and a swim in the hotel pool. Parked up now in Saint Maxime ready for the return trip.

A few of our latest projects
Another new "fintech" client who relocated from a Berkshire DC to Virtus in Hayes (our home town close to London Heathrow) This relocation took place out of hours on a Sunday to minimise network disruption.
Decommissioning various HP servers in Harbour Exchange and relocating them back to our clients London office using some of our SKB 192 roto shock mount flight cases.
After a stressful couple of days with both our Renaults having to go in to the dealer for warranty work I was relieved after a phone call to one of our regular clients that the equipment needed de racking and transporting from Manchester to Fareham was located in the bottom of the rack. This meant I could use our smallest van with our low level hydraulic lift.
Equipment de racked and securely packed then stored in our warehouse for a few days until we re racked it in our clients Fareham datacentre suite.

De rack
Re rack
Thrown a bit of a curve ball as the 2 Juniper Networks MX480's were going in to old Ericsson 19" telephone system racks! Bit of creative thinking in order to get them re racked securely. Another job in the pipeline - decommission the old Ericsson kit and put in new racks. Project took a little longer than expected and a broken phone to boot! Don't leave your phone on the floor when working ;)
Once again we are pleased to be supplying logistical support to our client in 2018, delivering Spa treatments to various cruise ships. Delivering quayside to various UK ports under T1 customs status.

Does LinkedIn Work?
Well it is a resounding yea for us at Secure Transportation Ltd.
Whilst some may feel LinkedIn is slowly becoming like Facebook with content that is more suited to friends and family, I still firmly believe it is a business tool to be reckoned with. Personally I have never got any new business from Facebook, Instagram or Twitter but having said that I have enjoyed the interaction nonetheless. If you can cut through the funny videos, memes and fake news and appreciate the many individuals and businesses selling their wares, then there is a wealth of information and professionals to connect with on LinkedIn. Don't ever feel ashamed plugging what you do. After all.................

'Building connections starts with people seeing all you have to offer' - LinkedIn
So this week an email dropped in to my Outlook inbox with a few names on cc. A little digging around on LinkedIn and I found some of those names were already acquaintances / work colleagues of existing connections.
Connection requests fired off with a little note attached and we now have a new customer with T&C's signed off and a £400 job already completed this week.
