Guides for hardware transport
What should be clarified before an IT hardware transport – so that quantity, packaging and handover are right on collection day.
Guides
- Packaging options for IT hardwareOriginal carton, pallet cage, pallet with interlayers or roll container: which packaging makes sense for laptops, monitors, servers and peripherals.
- Exchanging device listsWhy device lists with serial numbers do not belong in the request form, what is enough for the first request and how the exchange method is agreed afterwards.
- Storage media before collectionTo clarify before transporting IT hardware: who erases data, are storage media removed, sealed containers, documentation – responsibility lies with the client.
- Estimating quantities and palletsHow to estimate quantities for an IT transport: unit counts or load carriers, pallet height, stackability – and why “not known yet” is better than a wrong number.
- Preparing a collectionChecklist for collecting IT hardware: contact person, access, lift, staging, packaging, storage media and delivery note.
- Batteries in transportWhat to consider for lithium-ion batteries in laptops, smartphones and scanners and for UPS batteries: installed, loose, damaged – report in advance.
- Planning multiple collection pointsHow to plan IT collections at several sites: site list, quantities per location, time windows, contacts and consolidation to the destination.
- Planning recurring transportPlanning recurring IT transport: rhythm or call-off, volume fluctuations, fixed contacts, empties and coordination when things change.
- Palletising IT hardwarePalletising IT hardware: heavy devices at the bottom, interlayers, stretch film, edge protection, limiting height and labelling pallets clearly.
- Lease end: planning returnsPlanning IT returns at lease end: deadlines, completeness, serial numbers, storage media, several sites and handover to the lessor or remarketer.
- IT hardware to non-EU countriesTransporting IT hardware outside the EU: customs formalities, evidence for used electronics, export control with the shipper, batteries – clarify before quoting.
- Mixed loadsPlanning mixed loads of laptops, monitors, servers and peripherals: separating by weight and sensitivity, labelling, load carriers per group.
Frequently asked questions
Which guide matters most before the first request?
“Estimating quantities and pallets” and “Preparing a collection” – they answer most planning questions.
Who helps with data protection and dangerous goods questions?
Your data protection officers and, where relevant, your dangerous goods officer. The guides show what matters for transport.
Why should I not paste device lists into the form?
Because the secure exchange method for lists is agreed after the request. The form is not intended for that.
