Medical Equipment Shipping and Laboratory Logistics
We’re Trusted By The Best
Precision medical equipment demands a stable, controlled environment from the lab bench to the hospital floor. Arrow Express provides specialized medical equipment shipping services for manufacturers, hospitals, and laboratories moving high-value, calibration-sensitive devices.
We know that medical devices are often heavy, irreplaceable, and critical for patient care. Our team manages the entire logistics chain, from safe crating to shock-monitored transport and coordinated delivery into restricted facilities.
Protecting Calibration During Transport
The biggest risk in shipping sensitive equipment is the loss of calibration due to vibration or shock. Standard freight services often lack the specialized packing techniques required to protect internal mechanisms.
At Arrow Express, we prioritize stability. We design custom crating solutions that isolate sensitive components from road vibration. Using high-density foam cushioning, shock-absorbing pallet bases, and tip-indicators, we ensure your equipment arrives in the exact condition it left the facility.
Specialized Capabilities for Healthcare Logistics
Our team is trained to handle the specific requirements of the medical and scientific sectors, ensuring compliance and safety at every step.
Lab and Diagnostic Equipment Handling
From centrifuges and mass spectrometers to microscopes, we handle complex lab instruments. Our team uses non-shedding materials to comply with protocols when necessary.
Hospital Delivery and Logistics
We coordinate directly with facility managers to navigate hospital loading docks, freight elevators, and restricted access zones. We ensure delivery happens within specific windows to avoid disrupting hospital operations.
International Medical Logistics
We manage the ISPM 15 crating and customs documentation required for shipping medical devices globally, ensuring compliance with international export regulations.
The Process of Shipping Medical Equipment
We follow a strict protocol to ensure that sensitive devices remain calibrated and secure throughout the journey.
Technical Assessment
We review the manufacturer’s specifications for the device, identifying sensitive components, tilt restrictions, and environmental requirements before we design the pack.
Compatible Crating
We fabricate crates using materials appropriate for specific environments, including polyethylene foam to prevent dust contamination.
Shock-Monitored Transport
Devices are secured on shock-absorbing pallets. For highly sensitive units, we use Tip-N-Tell and impact indicators to verify stability upon arrival.
Coordinated Delivery
We manage the final mile, coordinating with hospital staff to ensure the equipment is delivered to the specific lab or ward, not just left at the dock.
