What are the characteristics of a Fine Art lorry?

Transexpo transports all works of art in Fine Art lorries specially designed for the purpose.

Lorries guaranteeing perfect conservation of works
Transportation is a risky time for the most fragile works of art. So it is important to choose a specially designed vehicle to ensure the works are perfectly conserved:

- Crates air-conditioned at 20°C maintain the ideal climate conditions for proper conservation
of fragile works
- The complete air cushion suspension limits vibrations, which are always damaging for works, especially old paintings like those on wood.
- The liftgate ensures smooth loading and unloading of even the heaviest crates.

Lorries that provide perfect safety for works
Transexpo pays particular attention to the design of its vehicles so that they include the latest safety
devices:
- The air-conditioned body is semi-armoured, with metal plate reinforcements in the walls
- The vehicles are alarmed
- A satellite geolocation system allows us to track our vehicles at all times
- A fire detection unit is installed in the body to detect any outbreak of fire
- Our newest lorries are equipped with a camera inside the body, which can be viewed from the drivers cab at all times
- The doors of our lorries can be sealed, which can be useful for bonded transport

Lorries suitable for security escorts
When works of art are loaned for temporary exhibitions, it is very common for the lending museum to send a security escort to accompany the work throughout its journey.
All our Fine Art lorries are equipped with a third seat in the cab, which allows the security escort to travel comfortably on even the longest journeys.
