How to plan a small data centre move of one or two racks: the window, where kit sits in the rack, packing and storage, from a Manchester to Fareham job.

How long does it take to move network chassis within a data centre? 12 chassis in one Manchester site took 10 hours. How the day ran and what slows it.

How are servers kept secure in transit? Rack plan labels, anti-static cases, Shock Watch labels, seals and a GPS tracker per case, on a move to Dusseldorf.

To deliver heavy equipment where a tail lift van cannot get in, we send a van with a self-loading fork truck that lifts 600 kg. The Berlin job shows how.

A shock mount rack case for transporting servers keeps kit racked on the road. Our SKB 8U cases: gasketed doors, a pressure relief valve, 68 kg rating.

Can you move a 42U server rack in a van? Yes, if it fits as it travels. Our low loaders give 2,500 mm through the rear and take a 47U rack standing.

How to de-rack and move a blade server chassis safely: our lift and slide system, split trunk flight cases and cover, from two HP blades in January 2017.

How to move a demo or test lab to a new office: months of planning, a de-rack day, flight cases and a weekend move into the City of London.

How to install a heavy router or server chassis in a rack: our lift and slide system takes a 400 kg chassis to the rack position with two people.

Yes, a stair climber can move a network chassis up stairs. How we strapped two crated MX480 routers of about 125 kg each, and what our machines carry.
