Computer and IT equipment transport across the UK and Europe

Computer and IT equipment transport across the UK and Europe, from a single PC to a fully populated 47U rack. It's our own drivers in our own plain vans, low loaders and trucks, from Church Crookham, Fleet, Hampshire, with London and Heathrow covered too. In February 2023 we moved ten 47U racks between two Welsh sites.

What computer transport includes

Some clients send us a pallet of PCs. Others want a populated rack taken out of one data centre and into another without anyone touching the cabling. We'll do either, and you get one person to deal with from the first call to the signature.

What we do

  • Collect from your office, server room or data centre, at the time your building gives us.
  • Load and strap the kit ourselves, with our own drivers.
  • Move racks upright in low loaders, with edging strips on the rack frames.
  • Carry boxed kit, pallets and cased equipment in vans or trucks.
  • Track the vehicle live, with a direct line to the driver.
  • Deliver, get a signature and, if you want it, help carry the kit in.
  • Arrange cover for the job, to the value of your kit, up to £0.5m without referral.
  • Sort the border paperwork for Europe. See customs and export.

What we don't do

  • Unpack and test. Your engineers will usually want to do that, and we'll stay while they do.
  • Move your data. That stays with your team.
  • Full de-rack and re-rack of a server room. That's our server relocation service.

How a computer move runs

  1. You send the list, or a photo of the load, plus the two addresses and the date.
  2. We pick the vehicle and tell you what it'll be.
  3. Our driver loads and straps the kit. Racks are held at three levels and padded.
  4. The vehicle is tracked and you can follow it. The driver is on the end of a phone.
  5. We deliver, you sign, and we send the paperwork.

If the load needs to wait before it moves, we can hold it in our Fleet warehouse. See secure warehousing for IT equipment.

How to ship a PC safely

If it's one PC and you're sending it yourself, this is what works. For a pallet of them, ring us.

  1. Back up your data and sign out of anything that matters. Take the drives out if you can.
  2. Use the original box if you've still got it. If not, use a strong double-walled box with room for padding.
  3. Put loose parts, cables and anything small in anti-static bags and tape them so they can't move around.
  4. Pad every side so the PC can't shift. Fill the gaps and shake the box. If anything moves, pad it again.
  5. Seal the box, label it with both addresses and "this way up", and send it by a tracked service that needs a signature. Insure it for what it's worth.

We pack and move large loads of computers, laptops and monitors. For those, the answer is pallets, cases and a driver.

The vehicles and how we load them

Our Renault Master low loaders have tail lifts, air suspension and 2.5 m of loading clearance, so a 47U rack goes in upright. For bigger loads there are Mercedes 18t and 26t trucks. If the delivery is into a car park with a 2.0 m limit, a Renault Trafic comes out, and the 600 kg mobile stacker travels with it so the rack can go in at street level.

Inside, load lok or E-track at three levels holds the load, with padded rails, straps and shoring poles. The vehicles are plain and unsignwritten, tracked, with Thatcham approved deadlocks. They're Euro 6.

We're ISO 9001:2015 certified and members of the Road Haulage Association. Cover for the equipment is arranged per job, up to £0.5m without referral, and our public liability is no less than £2 million. See our fleet and accreditations.

Computer transport questions

Back it up, box it snugly with padding on every side, put the small parts in anti-static bags, label it and send it by a tracked service that needs a signature. The five steps are above. For a pallet of PCs, call us.

Yes. Low loaders with air suspension carry populated racks upright.

We use edging strips on the frames and strap at three levels. Very heavy racks may need servers taken out first, and we'll tell you which.
