With a name like ‘Toowoomba Sensitive Freight’ you might wonder “exactly what is sensitive freight?”

Sensitive freight is anything that you need to transport from one location, to another (i.e. freight) that is of a sensitive nature, where the definition of ‘sensitive’ is: 

• Fragile and easily broken or damaged
• Highly calibrated and requiring specific handling (i.e. must be kept upright, must have sensitive components bolted in place etc)
• Heavy and/or more cumbersome, than regular freight
• Particularly valuable, or irreplaceable

Some examples of the sorts of jobs that we are regularly commissioned to undertake include:

1. Medical Equipment Transport

Whether it be radiology and sonography equipment, or laboratory equipment, we regularly assist clients within the medical field to move highly sensitive and valuable equipment throughout South East Queensland. 

2. Commercial Equipment (Fridges/Printers) Removals

Commercial fridges, freezers, display cases, coffee machines and printers are all heavy, cumbersome and difficult to move, they are also necessary to the daily operations of your business, thus why it is so important to have them moved safely and quickly to ensure that you are turning a profit again as quickly as possible. 

3. Audio Equipment (Sound Booths) Transport

In addition to sensitive sound and camera equipment, Toowoomba Sensitive Freight are also experienced in the relocation of sound booths and other audio/visual equipment. Often you have made a substantial investment to purchase your audio equipment, ensure you relocate it safely with the assistance of professionals.

4. Poker Machine Transport

Poker machines can be highly lucrative, but not if they are damaged or stuck in transit. We are experienced poker machine movers able to help you relocate your machines in a safe, timely and efficient manner. 

5. Vending Machine Transport

Much like poker machines, vending machines are only able to derive you an income whilst situated in a suitable location, and whilst in full working order. If you need to safely get your vending machine from one location to another, Toowoomba Sensitive Freight can help. 

6. Gaming & Arcade Machines Transport

Gaming and arcade machines vary in size, weight and value, but we are equipped to help you move even the largest and most valuable. 

7. Antiques Removals

Whilst many people assume that antiques have survived the last 100 years because of their sturdy construction. The truth is that most antiques are in such good condition because they were so rarely moved throughout their life. There are many things to consider when packing and moving antiques to ensure they make it from A to B safely - and we know them all!

8. Grand & Mini Grand Pianos Transport

Did you know that full concert grand pianos can weigh up to 544kgs? Or that baby grand pianos weigh an average of 282 kgs. Furthermore, irrespective of whether it’s a baby or a concert grand piano (or anything in between), grand pianos are generally very valuable, and often hold substantial sentimental value. To ensure that your treasured piano gets to its new home safely, make sure you engage the services of trusted sensitive freight specialists with experience moving grand pianos. 

9.  Upright Piano Relocations

While not quite the same size or weight as a grand piano, steel framed upright pianos range in weight from 150 kgs right up to 450 kgs. If you were thinking about getting a couple of mates to help you move your upright piano, you might want to think again. A carton of beer likely won’t ensure that your floor, walls and backs aren’t damaged in the process, so investing in professionals will often be the most cost effective moving solution in the end!

10. Pool Table Transport

The weight of your pool table might surprise you… with MDF constructed tables weighing in around 80 kgs, but slate bedded tables easily coming in closer to the 800 kg mark. Not only are pool tables heavy, they are also very awkward to move. They are designed to be disassembled, so if you don’t know how to take them apart and safely put them back together, or have the necessary tools required to safely move such a heavy item, you probably need to engage a professional. 

As you can see, there are many different things that constitute ‘sensitive freight’. However, if you have an item that is valuable, heavy and cumbersome, or easily damaged, Toowoomba Sensitive Freight are likely your best bet to move it safely from A to B.
