Understanding Medical Equipment Movers

At Rhenus UK, our medical equipment movers are specialised logistics providers equipped to handle, pack, and transport a wide range of medical devices. Our expertise goes beyond mere transportation; it involves meticulous planning, coordination, and strict adherence to healthcare regulations. We ensure that medical equipment arrives at its destination in perfect working condition, ready for immediate use.

The Importance of Specialized Handling

Medical equipment is often both sensitive and expensive, necessitating specialized handling during transportation. Failure to do so can result in significant damage or malfunctions, compromising patient care.

Moreover, certain medical devices must be transported under controlled conditions, such as maintaining specific temperatures or sterile environments. Our specialized handling procedures ensure these requirements are met, safeguarding the integrity and functionality of the equipment.

Tracking and Visibility

At Rhenus, we prioritise transparency in transporting medical equipment through our advanced tracking system. Clients can monitor their shipments in real time, accessing live updates on status and location. A dedicated tab provides current information on ongoing jobs, such as whether equipment has been shipped or delivered, while another tab allows clients to view their equipment held in Rhenus High Tech facilities. Our platform also offers timely notifications and essential documentation, ensuring a seamless experience. With our tracking capabilities, healthcare providers can focus on what matters most—patient care.

Types of Medical Equipment Moved

Diagnostic imaging has become an integral part of today's medical technology. But how do the sensitive computer tomographs (CT), magnetic resonance tomographs (MRT) or even digital X-ray machines get into the radiology department of a hospital undamaged? Professional handling, special transport equipment and suitable vehicles are required to transport such large diagnostic devices.

We not only take care of the safe transport, but also of the floor protection, the positioning and the mechanical installation of these sensitive and demanding devices at the final point of use.

Among other things, we take on these services for a leading global supplier of systems for imaging diagnostics for its entire product range in many European countries.

As a trusted partner of leading dental specialist dealers, Rhenus simplifies the delivery process for dental equipment, devices, and practice furniture. We handle pre-collection from various suppliers, merge-in-transit at our locations, and ensure timely delivery to the final place of use. Our experienced team can also assist with unpacking and construction, if needed. By bundling delivery dates and accommodating customer preferences, we help dental practices save time, reduce disruptions, and streamline their procurement process.

With our Europe-wide delivery expertise and years of experience serving market leaders in the UK dental specialist trade, you can rely on us for efficient and reliable last-mile delivery.

Experts expect medical robots to revolutionise the healthcare sector. So that these highly specialised devices can be used, it is the task of specialists like us to ensure that they can be transported undamaged from the manufacturer to the operating room of a clinic.

For example, on behalf of a British medical technology company, we are taking on the transport and installation of a robot-assisted surgery system that was specially developed to achieve better treatment outcomes and responds to the needs of surgeons, patients and surgical teams. Accuracy, control, tact and depth perception enable more accurate interventions.

Amidst the increased demand for certified room air cleaners with HEPA filters due to COVID-19, Rhenus in the UK offers a comprehensive service portfolio. We not only provide delivery to the place of use, but also offer services such as filter replacement, assembly, commissioning, instruction in device use, and maintenance, including equipment testing and filter replacements. With expertise in coordinating appointments with authorities and facility operators, as well as providing suitable transport vehicles, we ensure a hassle-free experience for our customers in schools, day care centers, offices, and gastronomic establishments.

Surgical microscopes play a crucial role in various medical fields, including dental microsurgery, ophthalmic, and neurosurgery, providing precise treatment for patients. In addition to optical magnification, digital visualisation is also utilised.

Transporting surgical microscopes with visualisation systems can be challenging due to their weight and fragility. Rhenus in collaboration with our specialised team, handles project coordination, transport, delivery to the final location, positioning, installation, and demo pool management for manufacturers of large optical microscopes and instruments.

We specialise in the distribution and delivery of laboratory equipment for medical and pharmaceutical applications, including autoclaves, diagnostic devices, workstations, refrigerators, freezers, scales, mixers, and meters. Our high-tech transport network ensures safe delivery to the laboratory, where our trained and experienced specialists handle unpacking, positioning, and handover to technicians or end customers. Trust us for all your laboratory equipment and furnishing needs.

 

Our movers are trained to disassemble and reassemble various types of hospital beds safely for transit, including standard, adjustable, and bariatric beds. We pay special attention to the intricate mechanisms and electronic components to ensure they function properly upon arrival. Bariatric beds, designed for larger patients, require careful handling due to their size and weight. Our team is equipped to manage their disassembly and reassembly, ensuring that all features—such as weight capacity adjustments and positioning functions—are preserved for optimal patient care.

We specialise in the careful transportation of homecare devices, including oxygen concentrators, mobility aids, wheelchairs, and patient monitoring systems. Our team ensures that all equipment arrives safely and is ready for immediate use.
