Fine Art Movers Miami

Over the past decade, Miami has firmly established itself as one of the most influential cultural hubs for art in the world. Home to globally renowned fairs like Art Basel Miami Beach, Art Miami, and Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary that draw exhibitors and patrons from across the globe, the city buzzes with valuable fine art assets nearly year-round. 

Proper care and expertise in handling, installation and transportation is essential for the safety of these precious artifacts integral to Miami’s cultural fabric. Our company has many years of experience providing premier fine art moving, installation and storage services tailored to the needs of Miami’s thriving art community. We ensure artwork is handled according to museum best practices and protected during transit when being relocated.

Specialized Vehicles and Equipment for Fine Art Moves

Miami’s humid, tropical climate can wreck havoc on fine art if not properly stabilized in transit. Our temperature and humidity controlled trucks maintain optimal conditions using climate sensors and systems to prevent moisture damage, mold growth or other climate-induced issues. 

Vehicles feature air-ride suspension, interior padding with blankets/foam blocks and specialty straps to secure art and prevent unnecessary vibration or shifting during transport. Drivers are extensively trained in cautious acceleration, braking and cornering to protect the fine art cargo. Hydraulic lift-gates safely load oversized pieces in and out of trucks.  

For handling, we utilize professional dollies, customized crates, archival gloves and other specialty equipment designed for delicate art maneuvering. Our focus is having tools that allow smooth, safe fine art handling throughout the move.

Experienced Art Specialists and Handlers

While equipment is important, human expertise handling the art is equally critical. Our art handler teams undergo rigorous training on appropriate techniques for moving paintings, photography, antiques, glasswork and all fine art mediums. Proper balance, communication, physical support and handling methods minimize risks.

From initial packing, loading, transport, unloading and final placement, our staff exercises extreme care in handling artwork. Their sole focus is protecting irreplaceable cultural assets entrusted to their expert care. Our specialized skills are continuously honed moving museum acquisitions, gallery collections and private masterpieces. 

Custom Packing and Crating Solutions

How art is packed and crated is vital for protection in transit and storage. Our specialists assess each piece to engineer custom solutions. Oil paintings are double-wrapped then secured in padded crate interiors. Framed pieces are banded with tape to prevent glass shattering. Sculptures use specialty mounts and braces. Antiques receive additional reinforcements like foam edge guards.

We only use archival, museum-grade packing materials specifically designed for fine art safety. Snug custom crates prevent any shifting or movement inside. No matter the shape, medium or complexity, our experts package artwork according to stringent museum standards.

Transportation Services Across Miami and Nationwide

Our capabilities include local art transportation within Miami using climate-controlled vans and trucks to accommodate tight timelines for exhibitions, fairs, storage facilities and private homes/offices. For longer moves between Miami and art hubs like New York, Los Angeles and more, we use strictly climate-controlled enclosed box trucks monitored via GPS tracking. 

For affordable ground transit along the East Coast, our regular art shuttle between Miami and other cities provides a cost-effective option. For overseas shipping, we coordinate full international air freight logistics to provide door-to-door delivery across the globe. No transportation distance is too far for us to deliver art safely and efficiently.  

White Glove Relocation Services 

For extremely high value, fragile or sentimentally irreplaceable pieces, our white glove service provides an extra level of personal care and attention from packing through delivery. Our art specialist accompanies artwork in person throughout transit until safely installed, providing an expert oversight all aspects of transportation.

Many prominent collectors, museums and galleries rely on our white glove service when transporting rare acquisitions, loans between institutions, high value fair consignments and other precious cargo requiring VIP treatment and the highest caliber of safety. We understand this elevated need for personal reassurance and accountability.
