Standard logistics approaches don’t work for every shipment. Items that are fragile, high-value, or irreplaceable demand something more—like custom handling, special equipment, and meticulous attention to detail.

Pyramid Logistics’ white-glove service steps up for these challenging cases, offering precision, care, and the kind of expertise required to navigate complex logistical obstacles.

Whether transporting delicate medical equipment, installing sensitive electronics for a high-tech trade show, or handling priceless artifacts for a museum exhibit, white-glove logistics provides the solutions these shipments demand.

From Street to Suite: A High-Rise CT Scan Delivery

Not every delivery can be made through a standard route. Some scenarios demand creative solutions. For example, when Pyramid Logistics needed to deliver a CT scan machine to a hospital, the typical methods weren’t going to work. The machine couldn’t fit through the stairwell or elevators. Instead, our team had to go above and beyond—literally.

We coordinated the use of a crane to lift the machine to the second story of the hospital. The logistics didn’t stop there. After safely hoisting the equipment, a specialized team was ready to carefully remove the hospital window, ensuring no damage occurred. The machine was then guided inside and installed precisely where it needed to go. Once everything was in place, the window was reinstalled, leaving no trace of the complex process that had just unfolded.

This process highlights what white-glove logistics is all about: solving tough challenges and ensuring goods arrive safely, no matter the hurdles.

Beyond the Front Door: White-Glove at Work

Transporting high-value items to their destination is only half the job. What happens after delivery often requires even more attention. For example, when Pyramid Logistics delivered a custom-built tech display to a major trade show, our team didn’t stop at the loading dock. We carefully moved the equipment inside the venue, assembled the display, and ensured every element was functioning before the event began. This attention to detail, right down to plugging in the last wire, is what white-glove service is all about.

Tailored Solutions for Delicate Goods

The essence of white-glove logistics lies in the final mile. After traveling hundreds or even thousands of miles, fragile or high-value shipments still face potential risks in that last leg—whether it’s navigating narrow hallways or maneuvering large equipment into tight spaces. White-glove service ensures that every part of the delivery process, including moving items into their final location, is handled with care.

That’s the definition of white glove logistics.

In one recent case, our team was tasked with delivering priceless artwork to a museum. Once on-site, we dropped off the crates and we brought the art inside, uncrated it, and carefully hung each piece in its display area. This kind of service allows clients to focus on their core activities, knowing that the logistics are handled with precision.

Mitigating Risk with Careful Planning

Transporting high-stakes shipments comes with its own risks, and even the smallest oversight can have costly consequences. Tech companies may worry about misaligned screens or broken equipment at a major launch event. Art galleries face the danger of irreversible damage to a priceless painting. Medical equipment can become damaged, requiring repairs before the first operation.

White-glove logistics mitigates these risks through careful planning, experienced teams, and a hands-on approach to ensure that what leaves in perfect condition arrives in perfect condition.

Full-Service Expertise: Beyond Delivery

White-glove service goes beyond transporting items from point A to point B. It includes specialized handling, unpacking, and even installation when required. For example, setting up a large interactive display at a tech convention isn’t a simple task. The equipment has to be handled with care and assembled correctly to ensure that it functions as intended when the show starts. White-glove service ensures that everything is prepared for immediate use.

White-glove logistics is all about what happens once the shipment arrives. It’s the difference between a package being left on the doorstep and having the item installed, set up, and ready to go.
