The Client
Our Speedy Freight Swindon branch regularly handles the transportation of surplus decommissioned, surplus and end of line medical equipment for a range of clients.
Medical equipment manufacturers and auction houses specialising in the sale of medical equipment have utilised Speedy Freight’s comprehensive healthcare logistics services to transport these items across the UK, Europe, and even internationally to places from North America to Africa.
As part of our full healthcare logistics offerings, we have a dedicated team specialising in the import and export of all consignments, including customs clearance of medical goods and equipment.
The Consignment
Our Swindon team regularly organise the transportation of a range of medical equipment for several clients, primarily auction houses specialising in the re-sale of medical equipment.
These items include CT scanners, x-ray equipment, laboratory equipment, and respiratory equipment such as ventilators, which purchasers will then use in care and medical facilities in their local area.
While some of these items are already in the UK, many of these surplus items first must be imported into the UK. In both cases, they are then resold to healthcare companies across the EU, North America, and Africa.
