POS terminals, self-checkout systems, servers and other IT hardware combine three transport risks in one shipment: they are shock-sensitive, theft-prone and usually part of a tightly clocked rollout plan. Speed Logistics ships computer terminals and IT equipment as direct transport without transloading – from the distribution warehouse to the single branch just as much as a multi-stage rollout across many locations, within Germany, across Europe and to non-EU countries including customs clearance. From the single replacement terminal in a Sprinter to palletised hardware for an entire branch network in an articulated truck, we provide the right vehicle.
The dedicated dispatch team is reachable 24/7 and plans deliveries by time window – even outside opening hours, when checkout zones can only be rebuilt at night. You receive the no-obligation fixed-price quote within a few hours.
Which hardware we transport
- POS terminals, checkout systems and payment terminals
- Self-checkout stations and kiosk systems – often assembled, tall and top-heavy
- Servers, network technology and racks for data-centre relocations
- Displays, digital signage and screen workstations
- ATM peripherals and self-service technology by arrangement
Low-vibration and theft-aware transport
Electronics do not forgive hard knocks: we load IT hardware upright in original packaging or on pallets with padding, secure it form-fit with anti-slip mats and lashing straps and, as a direct run, dispense with any handling – the most common source of damage in groupage. Sensitive assemblies should travel in ESD-compliant packaging; assembled self-checkout systems we run upright, secured against tipping and with edge protectors. The load compartment stays locked en route, and the handover takes place documented against a receipt – for high-value hardware on request only to named recipients. For interim storage – e.g. when a branch only goes live later – we coordinate the handover to your warehouse or that of the integrator; the goods remain continuously documented in the process.
Rollouts across several branches
In branch rollouts the sequence counts: every delivery has to match the schedule of the installation team. We plan multi-stop runs with fixed time windows per location, notify the branches in advance and report back every delivery – so the project management and integrator keep the overview. Returns of old equipment we take back on the same run, including documentation of the collected units. If the sequence changes at short notice – e.g. because a location is not ready – the 24/7 dispatch team re-schedules instead of leaving goods at locked doors. This very flexibility distinguishes the direct run from clocked network traffic.
For data-centre relocations too, the combination of care and speed counts: servers and racks travel loaded upright and low-vibration, and migration deadlines with tight maintenance windows we meet via fixed time windows and direct coordination with your IT team. On request the vehicle stays on site during a rebuild, so the outbound and return transport run from a single source.
IT hardware abroad and to non-EU countries
Terminals and IT equipment we deliver across Europe as well as to non-EU countries such as Türkiye, North Africa or the Gulf region – door-to-door from EXW to DDP including export declaration and import clearance. For built-in lithium batteries, such as UPS modules or battery-backed terminals, we also check the ADR requirements. Costs depend on volume and quantity, number of stops, distance and time pressure – transparently calculated in the fixed-price quote, and depending on lane and lead time as a guide-value range in advance.
