If you find yourself tasked with transporting a particularly fragile item to a designated location, the last thing you’ll want to hear is that the vehicle you’ve hired isn’t up to the task. This is a surprisingly common occurrence, with many large lorries, vans or alternatives struggling to securely contain the sculpture or art piece in question. At Nick Sampson, we provide a reliable service, having assisted numerous individuals and organisations with the safe loading and transport of valuables over the years. Read ahead and discover why our eye-catching fleet is viewed so favourably by those we work with.
The weight and fragility of sculptures and art pieces pose the most frequent transportation-related difficulties. When preparing your item or display for transit, every step must be carefully thought out and planned. By properly packing and handling each piece of art, potential risks like shaking, bumping, or dropping can be avoided. Large, hefty sculptures need specially made crates and protective packaging materials, while a suitable truck and lifting belts are required for the piece to be moved safely. In some cases, you might also need a crane and other specialist tools if your sculpture is too large and weighty.
We use specialised, cutting-edge lifting and delivery tools as dependable and effective couriers for sculpture and fine art. Using bubble wrap, blankets, and crates, sculptures and works of art are well safeguarded by the Nick Sampson team. With our art transport services, we have helped many happy clients, including Antony Gormley, The New Art Centre, Peter Randell-Paige, and many others. Taking care of customs procedures, taxes, and paperwork, we can arrange transport throughout the UK, throughout Europe, and even internationally.
