Shipping Robotics Across north america – the wood-hall advantage
Robotics shipments aren’t just freight, they’re high‐value, time‐sensitive systems that demand precision, protection, and planning. Whether it’s industrial automation, collaborative robots (cobots), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), or fully integrated robotic cells, Wood‐Hall Logistics is built to move robotics safely and efficiently across North America.
Why Robots Shipping is Different?
Robotics equipment presents a unique logistics challenge:
-
High value & sensitivity – Precision components, sensors, and control systems are vulnerable to shock, vibration, and moisture.
-
Irregular dimensions & weight – From compact cobots to full production cells, robotics rarely fit standard freight profiles.
-
Tight timelines – Missed install windows can halt production lines and delay commissioning.
-
Complex delivery requirements – Liftgates, inside delivery, scheduled dock times, or job‐site coordination are often required.
Wood‐Hall understands that robotics can’t be treated like commodity freight.
How Wood-Hall Ships Robotics – The Right Way
Specialized Equipment & Flexible Capacity
We move robotics using the right equipment for the job:
- Straight trucks and cargo vans for expedited or high‐touch shipments
- Dry vans for crated or palletized systems
- Liftgate‐equipped units for facilities without docks
- Dedicated vehicles to eliminate cross‐docking and reduce handling risk
Every move is planned around the robot, not forced into a generic trailer.
Secure Handling & Packaging Awareness
While we don’t manufacture crates, we understand them.
Our team works closely with shippers and integrators to ensure:
- Proper orientation and load securement
- Shock‐sensitive handling instructions are followed
- No unnecessary transfers or re‐handling
- Clean, dry equipment for electronics‐heavy freight
When needed, we can coordinate with packaging partners and warehouses to support staging, cross‐dock, or final‐mile execution.
Time-Critical & Install-Window Delivery
Robotics often ship against firm installation schedules. Wood-Hall supports:
- Just‐in‐time (JIT) delivery
- Scheduled dock or job‐site appointments
- After‐hours or weekend delivery where required
- Expedited team or solo driver solutions
We don’t just move freight, we protect your timeline.
