Questions

How medical equipment logistics works

How a medical equipment move works

Every move starts with an equipment list. For each piece, note the make, model and serial number, the dimensions and weight, and what it needs at the other end, such as power, data, water or a dedicated circuit. Add the pickup and delivery addresses and your preferred date, and call 866-216-7742 or request a quote.

We confirm the truck type, the crew size and the pickup window, then dispatch a hot shot vehicle that runs direct from pickup to delivery with no terminal stops. On arrival the crew checks the path, protects the building, brings the equipment to the room you choose and removes the packing material.

Most delays happen at the building rather than on the road, so we ask about loading docks, elevators, door widths and receiving hours at both ends before the truck leaves.

How to prepare equipment before pickup

  • Confirm in writing whether the manufacturer (OEM) or a certified biomedical engineer must de-install and re-install the unit, and book them before the pickup date.
  • Back up data, then remove or wipe protected health information so the move stays HIPAA-compliant.
  • Clean and decontaminate the unit, drain fluids and remove consumables, and keep a record that it was done.
  • Check batteries; lithium batteries have shipping rules, especially by air.
  • Secure or remove loose parts, cables and accessories, and label everything so it can be matched to the unit at delivery.

What is included

  • Air-ride suspension trucks that cut road shock and vibration for imaging, lab and electronic equipment.
  • Climate-controlled cargo space for heat-, cold- and humidity-sensitive electronics, optics and supplies when you need it.
  • White-glove inside delivery by a trained 2-person or 3-person crew: path protection, placement in the room and removal of packing material.
  • Hot shot and STAT service: a direct, point-to-point run with no terminal transfers when equipment is down and patients are waiting.
  • Photos at pickup and delivery, a bill of lading that lists every piece and a chain-of-custody manifest.
  • A certificate of insurance on request, with the declared value confirmed before pickup rather than after.

Frequently asked questions

How fast can you pick up medical equipment?
We run same-day and next-day hot shot pickup across Virginia, Maryland, Washington DC and North Carolina, and national and international freight is available. Call 866-216-7742 any time, 24/7.
Do I need the manufacturer (OEM) to move my equipment?
For many systems, including CT, MRI, C-arms, lab analyzers and surgical robots, the warranty or service contract calls for the manufacturer or a certified biomedical engineer to de-install and re-install the unit. We coordinate with them and schedule transport around their visit.
How do you keep patient data protected during a move?
Back up data and remove or wipe protected health information before the equipment is moved. We keep a chain-of-custody record of who handled the equipment and when.
What is the difference between hot shot and standard freight?
Hot shot is a dedicated, direct, point-to-point run with no terminal transfers, used when equipment is down or the schedule is tight. Standard freight is usually cheaper but slower and involves more handling.
What should I have ready when I ask for a quote?
Pickup and delivery ZIP codes, whether the move is domestic or international, the equipment make and model, dimensions and weight, photos and your requested pickup date.
