Medical equipment moves in Philadelphia require careful planning long before a truck arrives. Between multi-story hospital campuses, historic buildings, restricted loading zones, and tight delivery windows, packing and shipping medical equipment in the city is rarely straightforward. Navis Pack & Ship of Philadelphia provides professional packing, custom crating, and medical equipment shipping services designed for hospitals, labs, and medical businesses throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs.
Supporting Philadelphia’s Healthcare and Research Corridor
Philadelphia is one of the country’s most established healthcare and research hubs. With major hospital systems, medical schools, and research institutions concentrated throughout the city, equipment moves are a regular part of operations. Our Philadelphia team regularly supports:
- Hospitals and outpatient facilities in Center City and University City
- University-affiliated research labs and testing facilities
- Diagnostic labs serving the greater Philadelphia metro
- Medical equipment distributors shipping throughout Pennsylvania and even into Delaware
Urban access constraints, shared loading docks, elevators, and strict scheduling requirements all play a role in how equipment needs to be prepared.
Lab & Medical Equipment Navis Commonly Ships
Navis of Philadelphia regularly packs, crates, and ships a wide range of medical and laboratory equipment, including:
- Clinical diagnostic instruments and laboratory testing devices
- Sample preparation and processing equipment such as centrifuges and incubators
- Portable imaging components, exam room devices, and monitoring systems
- MRI machines, ultrasounds systems and more
Prepping for Safe and Damage-Free Transport
Preparation is the most important part of medical equipment shipping, especially in dense urban environments like Philadelphia. Our team takes a hands-on approach before equipment ever leaves the site.
- Custom Crating Built for the Equipment: We design and build custom crates to stabilize equipment, reduce vibration, and protect sensitive components during handling and transit.
- Individual Equipment Evaluation and Documentation: Each item is examined individually. We document condition, identify sensitive areas, and take photos when needed to support planning, accountability, and coordination.
- Handling Protocols Based on Equipment Requirements: Upright positioning, blocking and bracing, and shock or tilt indicators are applied based on the specific needs of the device and the route it will take.
- Coverage Options for High-Value Equipment: Coverage options are available for most medical equipment shipments, providing added protection for valuable or specialized devices during packing and transit.
This process helps reduce risk when navigating elevators, tight corridors, loading docks, and long-distance transport.
