FAQ

  • 1. What types of artworks do you transport?
    We transport a wide range of artworks, including paintings, sculptures, photographs, antiques, and other valuable or fragile items. Our services cater to galleries, museums, auction houses, private collectors, and artists.
  • 2. How do you ensure the safety of artworks during transport?
    Safety is our top priority. Our vehicles are custom designed with carpeted floors, padded railings, and full insulation to protect your artwork. We also use foam backed bubble wrap, EVA foam dividers, padded blankets and nylon fasteners to secure each piece during transit.
  • 3. Are your vehicles marked or unmarked?
    For security and discretion reasons, our vehicles are unmarked. This ensures a discreet and secure transportation process, minimising any risks associated with transporting valuable artworks.
  • 4. Do you offer a wrapping service?
    Yes, while our vehicles are equipped to transport artworks safely without additional wrapping, we do offer a professional wrapping service upon request. This service can be applied to individual or multiple pieces as needed.
  • 5. What regions do you serve?
    We operate throughout Melbourne and regional Victoria. Whether you are in the heart of the city or in a more remote area, we can accommodate your art transportation needs. We can arrange interstate and international shipping on request through our trusted third-party global logistics providers.
  • 6. Do you provide insurance for the artworks during transport?
    Transart is fully insured for public liability as well as limited carriers' insurance. We highly recommend that clients have their own insurance coverage for their artwork.
