Kit delivered to the room of choice, positioned, unwrapped, and the packaging taken away with us. Plain vehicles, our own crews, at a time that suits the ward or the lab.
The company started as a man and a van in 1996 and its success depended on going that extra mile, so what the industry now calls white glove delivery has always just been the norm for us. On a clinical site that means a driver who will find the goods lift, wait for the porter, work around a clinic list and then take the pallet wrap and the cardboard back out with him. Crews are DBS checked and security vetted, which most hospital estates teams now insist on before anyone gets past the loading bay. Not a doorstep drop and a signature.

That is exactly what the stair climbers are for. The red Stanley Handling SC620 takes 310kg up and down at about nine steps a minute and around 300 steps on a charge, while the blue PowerMate M-1 will take 454kg on stairs with two operators or 682kg on the flat, and its drop down frame lets it do both without a second machine coming along for the ride. Tall or top heavy items get strapped to the frame and moved slowly. Before any of it we measure the stairwell, the landings and the doorways, then write the method statement for that building. The handover is photographed.
Yes, and it is usually the easier way round for everybody. We will take a slot at six in the morning or ten at night if that is when the corridor is quiet and the lift is free, and we book the access, the passes and any escort with your Estates team beforehand rather than turning up and hoping somebody is on the desk. Ward and theatre timetables come first, so tell us what we have to work around and we will build the route and the timings to suit. Our crews are ours, not agency, all DBS checked and security vetted, which matters when someone has to be signed into a live hospital at five in the morning. Packaging leaves with us.
It starts with a survey, or at the very least a walk through video and detailed photographs, because in a hospital the route is the job. From that we write the method statement for your building, agree access times with Estates and the equipment team, and decide what protection the floors, corners and door frames need. On the day the item arrives on a plain vehicle, goes to the room of choice and is positioned, the packaging is broken down and taken away with us, and serial numbers are captured and photographed at handover. Crews are DBS checked and security vetted. Nothing is left in a corridor. Where the manufacturer's engineer has to commission it we work to their diary, and we can hold the equipment at Hayes until the department is ready.
Send site addresses and an approximate asset list. We will return a secure plan and confirmed date.
