Retail Logistics and Supply Chain Solutions
Specialized answers for store fixtures and displays
When it comes to supply chain logistics, Golden Van Lines provides a total response to take the worry off your shoulders.
We start with the requirements of your project. We make sure we understand the details of your retail logistics: exactly what you intend to move, when, and where it needs to go. Then we formulate the “how” for efficient, practical, supply-chain solutions.
You may need to transport one point-of-sale gondola for a special event… or ship a thousand POP displays for synchronized distribution. Whatever the size or complexity of your retail-logistics scenario, Golden Van Lines answers to fit. As an agent of Atlas, we connect with the resources of the relocation industry’s second-largest van line. Through Atlas Logistics, we access the equipment, people, and systems for swift, cost-effective supply-chain solutions.
What’s more, we bring added flexibility with our partner, Titan Global Distribution. You get access to a respected network of qualified third-party providers in transportation, warehousing, and installation. You also get turnkey solutions to specialized supply-chain challenges, including nationwide rollouts for point-of-sale displays and store fixture installation.
Get delivery timed to your schedule
When it comes to supply chain logistics, we know timing is critical to you. If delivery during business hours is inconvenient for you, our Target Delivery Option lets you schedule receipt for whatever time works best. And because we assign a single logistics coordinator to your project, you can rely on the same professional from start to finish. You get timely, reliable communication and answers when you need.
Added value at every turn
At your request, we provide sequential loading, so items come off the truck for the most efficient placement. If you prefer to handle loading yourself, we can supply a spot trailer. Simply call us when you are ready for pickup.
You can count on Golden Van Lines for all the necessary padding, decking, strapping, ramps and dollies. If the location for loading or unloading has no dock, request power lift gates to make handling easy, swift, and safe. Our crew is also available for unpacking, light assembly, debris removal and cleanup. Just ask.
Art Movers from Golden Van Lines
Experts in the art of moving art
Moving art takes more than dollies, trucks, crates and gloves. It takes a special expertise that few can claim. At Golden Van Lines, our art movers have proven their expertise time and again in the relocation of fine art. Whether your concern is a single exhibition or a tour that spans multiple cities, we answer with the surety, safety, and care you demand.
Climate control for moving paintings and sensitive artifacts
Using trailers equipped with climate controls, we keep temperature levels within tolerances, important for moving paintings and other sensitive items. Super-insulated trailers ensure protection, even in extreme environments. Onboard sensors monitor conditions inside the trailer and keep a verifiable computer record.
Our Atlas-designed trailers come with air-ride suspension to smooth out the ride. Power lift gates and specialized handling equipment provide for worry-free loading and unloading. In short, your Golden Van Lines art movers maintain a fully equipped resource for moving art.
People who know what it takes
The moving team we assign to you is dedicated to your shipment from origin to destination; responsibility doesn’t change hands. Plus, the van operators we employ for moving art are among the best in any organization. Be assured the people entrusted to transport your artwork bring the professionalism you expect.
To keep our performance irreproachable, we never employ hub-and-spoke systems or distribution centers when moving art. You get direct pickup and direct delivery. If you request, we can provide “last-on, first-off” service. Through our affiliates in the fine arts community, we also offer consolidation and dispersal; specialized crating, packing, and installation; and climate-controlled storage wherever you may need
