In June 2026 we moved 200+ servers across six countries in five days. That's the big end of our server relocation services. Usually it's racks between data centres, server rooms and offices, anywhere in the UK and Europe, with our own crews and vehicles. We're in Church Crookham, Fleet, Hampshire, and cover London and Heathrow.
We'll do as much or as little as you need. Some clients have their own network engineers and just want the transport and the rack and stack.
Others want a full cable trace and audit with a patching schedule. Either way you get one person to deal with from the first call to sign-off, and we'll update you on Teams as it goes.
The kit can be a single 1U server or a fully populated 20U router. The largest router we handle is a 36U, 600 kg one, fully populated.
In our experience the van is never the slow part. Access is: a loading bay slot, a permit, a lift that's too small, a power-down window that's only open for a few hours. We ask about those on the first call.
For lifting we have electric and hydraulic server lifts, including our CLASS chassis lift and slide system, and dual electric lift tables for working on live racks. Our split trunk flight cases are like a magician's box. They come apart to just the base, a chassis up to 24U slides straight in from the lift, and we build the case back up around it.
Racks go in 24U 19" shock mount flight case racks, or in SKB roto shock mount cases from 6U to 14U. There are anti-static lined cases with comb dividers and lift-out trays for smaller kit. If there are stairs, the PowerMate M-1 stair climber has taken a fully populated rack to the 10th floor.
Our Renault Master low loaders have 750 kg and 500 kg tail lifts, air suspension and 2.5 m of loading clearance, so a 47U rack goes in where a truck can't. Bigger jobs go in our Mercedes 18t and 26t trucks. A Renault Trafic comes out when a car park is limited to 2.0 m.
Inside, load lok or E-track at three levels with padded rails, straps and shoring poles hold unpacked racks still. The vehicles are Euro 6, tracked, and have Thatcham approved deadlocks.
We're ISO 9001:2015 certified and members of the Road Haulage Association. Our public liability is no less than £2 million. Cover for the equipment itself is arranged per job, up to £0.5m without referral.
Certificates and numbers are on our accreditations page. We'll write RAMS for the sites involved if you need them, and there's a free template below.
Most data centres want RAMS before they'll let a crew in. This is a template you can fill in and send for approval: scope, a ten-step method from pre-move briefing to sign-off, and the risks with their controls. PDF and Word, no form.
The Server Move RAMS Template is a ready-to-complete risk assessment and method statement for moving servers and network equipment between rooms, buildings or data centres. It is the document building managers, data centre operators and client safety teams ask for before they let a crew on site.
It can mean two different jobs. In IT it usually means copying data and applications from one system to another.
A server relocation, which is what we do, is the physical move: de-racking, packing, transport and re-racking. If your project has both, your engineers look after the data and we look after the kit.
There isn't a standard price. It depends on how many racks, how many floors and lifts at each end, the distance and the time window. A night or weekend move can change the price, and so can a move across borders.
Our IT relocation cost guide goes through each factor. Send us the rack list and we'll quote.
Yes, and most data centre moves are done that way. We've done Saturday morning moves, an overnight Friday to Saturday move in an 18t truck, and a 100U overnight migration from a Docklands data centre to Berkshire.
We work to the window your building gives us. For moves in the capital, see IT relocation in London.
Yes. We arrange cover for each job to the value of your equipment, up to £0.5m without referral, and we can arrange more for higher-value loads. Our public liability is no less than £2 million.
Yes. We go by road across the UK and Europe, and further afield by air through approved partners. We run our own ATA carnet and work with a customs agent.
For one US client in late 2025 we ran simultaneous server migrations in Frankfurt and Amsterdam under it. Our ATA carnet service page has the detail.
Yes, for the sites involved, if you ask. You can also start from our free Server Move RAMS Template.
Yes. Our Fleet warehouse has a secure caged area with two 42U racks, power, monitored PDUs and connectivity. See pre-staging and rack and stack.
The rack list, or the number of racks and units, both addresses, the dates, and anything about access: loading bay slots, permits, lift sizes. If we don't know the site, a walk-through video and photos of the rack elevations help a lot.
Tell us the racks, the two sites and the dates, and we'll come back with questions or a quote.
We work from Church Crookham, Fleet, Hampshire. Moves in London, Manchester, Glasgow, Bristol, Leeds, Birmingham and across Europe all run from there, with our own crews.
We have your details. Someone from the team will read it and come back to you by phone or email.
