Whether you're relocating a hospital wing, launching a diagnostics lab, or sending a refurbished analyzer to a new owner, transporting medical equipment is not your average shipping task. These machines are fragile, oftentimes heavy, and quite valuable. That’s why healthcare providers, equipment distributors, labs, and hospital administrators turn to Navis Pack & Ship for expert handling, Custom Packaging and Crating, and Shipping Services tailored to the medical industry.
Why Shipping Medical & Lab Equipment Is So Complex
Shipping high-end medical equipment isn’t like moving a box of supplies. These machines are often large, expensive, and fragile—requiring expert care from pickup to delivery. Here’s why:
- Sensitivity to vibration and shock: Many devices contain optics, sensors, or mechanical parts that can be damaged by even minor impacts.
- High asset value: Some units cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, leaving little room for error when packing.
- Need for expert crating: Many machines requires custom-designed crate to prevent damage during handling and transport.
- Large and heavy configurations: Imaging machines and lab equipment can be oversized, requiring lift gates, forklifts, or ramps.
- White glove delivery: Due to their value and complexity, many devices need inside placement and debris removal.
Navis Pack & Ship sends experienced professionals to assess each item on-site, then creates a custom packing and shipping plan based on the equipment’s size, sensitivity, and destination requirements. This hands-on approach ensures every shipment is protected, compliant, and handled the right way from start to finish.
