01Overview

Accounted for every metre of the way.

Our white glove logistics service covers the full chain: packing, transportation, delivery and on-site placement. Every shipment is tracked in real time, handled by people who understand what they are carrying and delivered on schedule, whether it is a single server or a fleet of racks.

Moves use SC-cleared engineers, computer-spec’d vehicles with device- and vehicle-level tracking, and full goods-in-transit insurance. Equipment arrives in the condition it left, ready to deploy.

What you get

  • Specialist packing and protection
  • Climate-controlled transport
  • Real-time tracking and updates
  • Expert handling and placement
  • Full insurance cover
  • 24/7 coordination and support

02Packing

Six layers between the server and the road.

Each layer does one job. Select a layer, or open the case, to see what it protects against.
