Transporting temperature- and humidity-sensitive goods

Plan your transport

Give the permitted temperature range from the manufacturer or your specialist department and, if specified, the permitted relative humidity. Handover moments are often critical: how long may a package stand in outdoor conditions? Is there a risk of condensation when cold goods enter a warm room? Must the packaging acclimatise at destination before opening? Mention existing protection such as desiccant or sealed film. If you want to send your own data loggers, please agree this in advance.

Condensation: the underestimated risk

If cold goods are taken straight into a warm room in winter and unpacked at once, moisture can form on surfaces and electronics. Leaving the closed packaging in the destination room for a few hours often helps. How long should be decided by your specialists or the manufacturer; we take it into account in the handover plan.

Considering season and route

In summer, time in a parked vehicle can be critical; in winter, long waits at an open loading dock. A direct run without transhipment can reduce additional handling and waiting phases. Give us the limits and we will plan collection time, route and handover so that the goods are unprotected for as short a time as possible.

Good to know

Plan your transport

Can I request a temperature-controlled transport?

Yes, describe the requirement as precisely as possible in your request. Whether a specific temperature or humidity range can be achieved for your job is checked case by case and agreed with you explicitly before the order – only then does it become part of the contract.

Transport solutions

01

Transport laboratory instruments as prepared technical equipment

Analyser, centrifuge, incubator or microscope: when a laboratory moves or an instrument goes to another site, it should arrive prepared and ready for use. We transport valuable laboratory instruments between labs, institutes and businesses and align collection and delivery with your internal release and the recommissioning date.

02

Ship optical instruments with a clear handover brief

Microscope, lens set or optical measuring instrument: with equipment like this, the transport configuration decides whether things run smoothly. We organise transport in the existing protective case or the manufacturer’s packaging and make sure the instrument, lenses and accessories arrive as one shipment with the right recipient.

03

Assess existing packaging before a transport

Is the old crate still fit for purpose, is the original box enough, or does the item need new packaging? That question should be answered before the collection date. We help you assess it from photos and your description, so your valuable goods travel in packaging that suits the route and handling.
