The Last Hundred MilesAre the Most ExpensiveMistake You'll Never MakeWith Us.
Every vehicle in our fleet is purpose-built for art transport — not converted cargo vans. Dedicated climate systems, air-ride suspension, and sensor arrays are standard, not upgrades.

| Sprinter Climate Van | Up to 12 linear ft / 1,200 lbs | 65–72°F, 45–55% RH | Live GPS + door sensor | 2 certified handlers | Single-lot, private delivery |
| Liftgate Box Truck | Up to 24 linear ft / 4,000 lbs | 65–72°F, 45–55% RH | Live GPS + door + tilt sensor | 3 certified handlers | Multi-lot, post-fair dispersal |
| Air-Ride Straight Truck | Up to 40 linear ft / 12,000 lbs | 65–72°F, 45–55% RH | Live GPS + full sensor array | 4 certified handlers + supervisor | Auction routing, 300+ lots |
Museum-Grade Crating Protocol
Every lot crated in-house by our fabrication team. No outsourced crating. No exceptions for “low-risk” pieces.
| Spec | Material / Detail |
|---|---|
| Primary Wrap | 4mm polyethylene foam, acid-free tissue interleaf |
| Secondary Barrier | Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), 2" minimum thickness |
| Crate Construction | Baltic birch plywood, 12mm, interior foam-lined |
| Corner Protection | Molded HDPE corner blocks, load-rated to 800 lbs |
| Moisture Barrier | Polyethylene vapor barrier, 6 mil, taped seams |
| Hardware | Stainless recessed flush latches, no exposed fasteners |
Every lot generates a timestamped custody record from intake to installation. Signature-gated at each handoff. Retrievable within 4 hours for insurance or claims purposes.
| Custody Step | Trigger Event | Documentation Generated | Handoff Requirement | Timestamp Method |
|---|---|---|---|---|
01Lot Intake | Arrival at origin facility | Condition report (photos + written), weight, dimensions | Logistics coordinator signature | Automated, GPS-locked |
02Crating | Post-condition report approval | Crating spec sheet, material log, handler IDs | Fabrication supervisor sign-off | Manual entry, time-stamped |
03Load & Departure | Vehicle departure | Manifest, crate inventory, driver ID | Operations manager + client confirmation | Automated, GPS departure ping |
04In-Transit | Continuous | GPS coordinates, climate readings, door sensor log | N/A — automated monitoring | Every 90 seconds |
05Delivery & Install | Arrival at destination | Delivery receipt, post-transit condition report | Receiving party signature + photo record | Automated, GPS-locked |
