Medical Equipment Shipping- Advice from Houston Company
Posted on Wed, Jan 11, 2012
With Houston being home to theTexas MedicalCenter, medical equipment is constantly being shipped into and out of the medical center.
When looking for a company to receive medical equipment as freight, we offer the following suggestions:
Choose a company that ships and receives medical equipment on a regular basis.
Ask how long the current owners have been handling freight shipping and receiving medical equipment.
Look for a company that can un box, or un crate medical equipment. The company must be able to receive the freight, and protect lenses, arms and feet of equipment that is being unloaded and delivered. Remember that each piece of medical equipment will need to be handled differently.
Ask about valuation coverage for the items that the equipment that the company will receive, unpack and then deliver.
Always be prepared to give the weight and dimensions of the equipment so that the proper number of personnel will be on hand to provide the unloading and delivery of the equipment.
Another alternative to freight shipping is small load moving. Inquire if it will be less expensive to move the medical equipment with a small load mover.
As with any hospital environment, set up the delivery time ahead of time.
