White glove transport for UPS systems and battery cabinets

First Case moves UPS systems and battery cabinets in its own trucks, right into position in the hall. What we bring in, we place ourselves: that is white glove transport, as part of our own projects. The right gear for heavy systems through existing doors and airlocks, and one crew, with no handover.

White glove transport in our own trucks, everything in one pair of hands.

We drive our own trucks, scheduled inside the project and matched to the windows the site gives us. When lithium travels back after a battery replacement, it travels under ADR: the European regime for road transport of dangerous goods. Packaging, paperwork and vehicle all comply.

Moving in, right to position in the hall.

Moving in, the stretch from the loading dock into the hall, is the heavy part: a complete system into the building, through narrow aisles and airlocks, with care for floors and door frames. We set it in its final position and take the packing material back with us. Heavy loads are no problem: we bring the right handling equipment for the weight and the route. This is how twelve UPS systems went from the loading dock to their positions in the hall.

One crew loads, drives, moves in and mounts.

Transport with one party, installation with another: somewhere in between sits a moment where nobody is responsible. Not with us. The crew that loads and drives also moves in, places and mounts. That is how two 200 kVA systems, two battery cabinets and 92 battery blocks went into the working Amsterdam Centraal station on ten pallets, placed within fixed work windows.

What does white glove transport mean here?

What we bring in, we place ourselves. We drive our own trucks, move the equipment from the loading dock into the hall and set the system in its final position, ready for installation. The same crew that loads and drives also places and installs: no handover between parties, no unnecessary noise.

How does transport fit into a project?

Transport is part of our own projects: we only drive for our own clients. It is in the project plan, with what moves when, within the windows the site gives us. What we transport, we also place or install ourselves.

How does a heavy system get into position in the hall?

By moving it in: the stretch from the loading dock into the hall, through narrow aisles and airlocks, with care for floors and door frames. We bring the right handling equipment for the weight and the route, and set the system square in its final position. This is how twelve UPS systems went from the loading dock to their positions in the hall.

Is that possible in a building that stays in use?

Yes. We work within fixed work windows and past running equipment. That is how two 200 kVA systems, two battery cabinets and 92 battery blocks went into the working Amsterdam Centraal station on ten pallets. The same crew that loaded and drove also placed them.

How do we transport lithium batteries?

Under ADR: the European regime for road transport of dangerous goods. Packaging, paperwork and vehicle all comply. This applies, for example, to lithium that travels back with us after a battery replacement.

What happens to the packing material?

We take it back with us: pallets, crates and film. No packaging is left behind in the hall or the corridor. The system is then in position, ready for installation.
