Expert Artwork Crating, Shipping & Transportation Services by Relo Solutions Group
Moving or shipping artwork is never just a “pickup and drop-off” task. Whether it’s a contemporary sculpture, a centuries-old painting, or a valuable private collection, artwork demands specialized handling, customized crating, and trusted transportation protocols. At Relo Solutions Group, we deliver white-glove artwork management services tailored to protect and preserve your most valuable pieces—wherever they need to go.
Why Professional Artwork Transportation Matters
Fine art is fragile, irreplaceable, and often incredibly high in value. Unfortunately, traditional moving or logistics companies often fall short when it comes to protecting artwork from:
-
Environmental damage (humidity, temperature swings)
-
Impact during transit
-
Mishandling by untrained staff
-
Insurance and liability risks
That’s why museums, galleries, interior designers, and collectors turn to specialty artwork transportation companies—like Relo Solutions Group.
Our Artwork Management Services
We provide end-to-end, nationwide art logistics for businesses, designers, and private collectors. Our capabilities include:
Custom Artwork Crating Services
No two works of art are the same. We engineer and build custom crates and enclosures using the right materials and design to prevent vibration, shifting, or damage. Whether it’s a framed canvas or a mixed-media sculpture, our crates are tailored for maximum protection and efficient loading.
Secure Artwork Transportation
We coordinate trained art handlers, climate-controlled vehicles, and GPS-tracked transportation nationwide. Every piece is treated as high-value cargo, not just freight.
White-Glove Delivery and Installation
Our field technicians and carrier network are trained for inside placement, debris removal, and, where applicable, final installation or wall mounting. We work with care, gloves on, and eyes on the details.
