ContactClimate-Controlled Vehicles Designed for Fine Art
Miami’s humid, sub-tropical climate can wreck havoc on fine art if not properly regulated. Our temperature and humidity controlled trucks maintain ideal conditions to prevent expansion or contraction of canvases, mold growth on paintings, color fading, and other climate-related damage during transit.
Sophisticated systems maintain air conditioning and humidity levels at optimal benchmarks. The cabin is sealed off from the cargo area, preventing exposure to exhaust or contaminants from the road. Suspension systems provide a smooth ride without vibrations or unnecessary bumps that could shift art in transport. Our fleet is designed specifically for the safe transportation of fine art and antiques.
Each vehicle is equipped with specialty equipment like hydraulic lifts, padded blankets, adjustable straps, foam blocks and other tools for securing artworks of different mediums during transport. Our drivers are professionally trained in art handling techniques like how to safely move large framed pieces, properly carry sculptures and other specialized skills. We understand the nuances of working with irreplaceable fine art as opposed to standard commercial cargo.
