10 x Poupulated Rack White Glove Delivery & Positioning

Picture
At an undisclosed location and after a lengthy booking in procedure (and the obligatory strong coffee!) Secure Transportation once again assisted their Dutch client with the delivery and positioning of 10 fully populated racks in to a datacenter for Microsoft.  The 6 man team completed the job within a 4 hour window. 

It is always a pleasure to assist our Dutch Specialist Logistics colleagues @ http://dejongkoeriers.nl with a little local knowledge and extra helping hands. We can't take credit for it all though, and special thanks also to https://www.gallowglass.com for their assistance with some extra local crew. At the end of the day it is all about team work and using the best resources available to get the job done. After a little Dutch courage and a bit of Greek / Spanish and British muscle there was one happy customer.

Sorry no photos or video allowed on this project!

12 Chassis De / Re Rack 

Juniper MX960 MX240
Monday saw the start of another project for one of our regular clients that is going to span across several months. This first stage involved the de / re rack of 12 chassis's from different manufactures from one location to another in the same site up in Manchester.

Site survey completed before the project begun and insurance cover for up to £750k under our bespoke engineers policy for whilst we are handling the equipment on site.
We have all the equipment to facilitate even the most awkward jobs. Hydraulic lifting equipment, bespoke flight cases, ramps and floor coverings to make the task as easy as possible.
Cisco router
Due to the nature of where the equipment was being removed from all the large chassis were re racked in one of our 24u shock mount flight cases and then moved safely to the new location and transferred on to wheel boards for easy manoeuvring.

"We Counted Them Out & We Counted Them In"

The re rack begins. 10 hours from start to finish and 12 chassis de racked and re racked, and another happy client.

HP Blade Server Relocation

www.Server-Relocations.co.uk

Secure Transportation's knowledge base extends across all major brands. In the latter part of January this year we undertook the next phase of an ongoing project. This part involved the de rack of a couple of HP blade servers using our very own designed and custom fabricated chassis lift and slide system (CLASS™) and securely pack in some of our bespoke split trunk flight cases ready for transport. 
HP Blade Servers
(CLASS) Chassis Lift & Slide System
Bespoke flight cases for transit
All our flight cases are custom made specifically for the transportation of sensitive IT equipment and are anti static foam lined. We also have 24u rack shock mount flight cases suitable for large network routers.

Insurance

Picture
Our bespoke marine cargo goods in transit insurance policy along with our engineers policy covers us on site whilst de / re racking equipment and gives complete peace of mind. Secure Transportation can quote without referral from our underwriters up to £0.5m. Due to our excellent no claims record, obtaining cover in excess of £0.5m is unlikely to present a problem but we would always ask customers to seriously consider the amount of risk exposure in any one vehicle.  For full terms and conditions visit our insurance page.

Juniper PTX5000 De / Re Rack

Picture
A small project involving the relocation of Juniper equipment. 

​Collect 1 x MX 960 from our clients London office, de rack 1 MX 960 from Harbour Exchange, re rack both in Telehouse DC London Docklands and then de / re rack a PTX 5000 - all in the day!

There aren't too many UK end users of these large Juniper PTX5000's and the chances are Secure Transportation have installed most of them, and de / re racked and moved them around a bit!

At 36u high and 150kg empty and nearly 600kg fully populated they are pretty big to move around.

​Unless of course you have the equipment to deal with a de / re rack of this nature.

A Late Summer PoC Lab Move

12/10/2015

Easy as 1 - 2 - 3


Picture
Back in early September we moved our clients London based PoC lab from South of the River Thames to their beautiful new office located in Pudding Lane, famous for the start of the Great Fire of London back in 1666! 

Picture right is one of the last chassis's being re racked, a Juniper MX960, flanked by 2 x Juniper PTX 5000's).

Getting them in was as easy as 1 2 3, using our chassis lift and slide system (CLASS™)

http://www.secure-transportation.co.uk/blog/our-chassis-lift-slide-system-has-evolved 

BUT getting them out was a completely different story!

After site surveys were done and the date set, the de rack took place from their 3rd floor office next to the Shard Skyscraper in Southwark. With no parking out the front for security reasons and around the back what can only be described as a "bomb site", it was always going to be a challenge!

If you need to dig yourself out of a big hole make sure you always have the right tools for the job


Picture
With a lift too small to accommodate the OEM packing crates or any of our flight cases and 2 steps exiting the building to this "bomb site" of a car park (they are demolishing for redevelopment but have found over 70 bodies there hence the excavation!) it was always going to be difficult. Fortunately the weather was on our side and we have all the necessary equipment to overcome any obstacle that is put in our way.

We stock most OEM pallet bases, anti static over bags, brackets and screws for Juniper Network, T, PTX, MX series routers ensuring they are transported correctly.

Other manufactures equipment such as Cisco, HP etc can be packed in our range of bespoke flight cases.

We have been using Andy for several significant projects over the past couple of years. This includes the shipping and assistance with racking of Juniper PTX and MX routers, move of our complete Lab setup from one office to the next, and many others.

His professional and flexible approach to all of these projects has been an invaluable asset to get the work done! 

We will certainly keep going back to Andy for future projects and highly recommend Andy and his team!
