Packaging, Equipment & Tools

Specialist packaging, safe handling, and a verifiable chain-of-custody


Anti-static protection: wrap, foam-lined flight & rail cases

Safe handling: server lifters, skates, ramps, stair climbers

Site protection: floor/edge guards, cable mats, dust covers

Evidence & custody: numbered seals, QA + reporting

How Does It Work: Packaging, Equipment & Tools

Every move rises or falls on the quality of its tooling, handling, Our engineers arrive with a curated kit built for data-centre reality. Everything is tracked, counted, and photographed into the runbook so what leaves source arrives at destination in the same condition.

Behind the tools is method: security-cleared teams, RAMS and permits, ESD discipline, lift/weight limits, and a documented chain-of-custody. We pre-plan routes, label matrices, and load restraint (bars and ratchet straps) so cases travel on unbranded GPS-tracked air-ride vehicles with no hub transfers. The result is a clean, auditable migration—safe lifts, tidy patching, verified links, and an evidence pack that stands up to any internal or external review.

What Tools & Equipment
We Use & Why:

Anti-Static Bubble Wrap

What: ESD wrap for individual devices and odd-shape items; used with flight cases. Why: Adds shock isolation and electrostatic protection during handling.

Auto-Straps & Load Bars

What: E-track/auto-retract straps and aluminium load bars with rubber feet. Why: Rapid, repeatable load restraint—speeds turnarounds.

Cable Termination/Test (copper/fibre)

What: Modular termination tools and Fluke DSX / OTDR & LSPM kits. Why: Proves links meet spec; reduces post-migration call-outs or incidents.

Cage-Nut Removal Set

What: Spring-steel extractors, drivers and bit tips for fitting/ removing M6 cage nuts in 19″ racks. Why: Fast, clean swaps without bending rails or scratching paint.

Electric Power Tools

What: Cordless drill/driver and impact driver for rails, cage nuts and containment fixings. Why: Speeds installs with repeatable torque—no crushed rails or loose devices.

Electric Stair-Climber (“Electric Walker”)

What: Powered dolly with caterpillar treads for stairs; secures servers/UPS on the carriage. Why: Moves heavy assets safely where lifts aren’t available; prevents injury and shock loads.

Fibre Cleaning Kit

What: One-click cleaners (LC/MPO), lint-free wipes and IPA pens. Why: Clean end-faces prevent light loss and intermittent errors.

Fibre-Scope (inspection microscope)

What: Video scope with LC/MPO tips for end-face QC. Why: Objective pass/fail before go-live—evidence is recorded. Basic or detailed pass/fail.

Foam Protectors

What: Edge, floor and door-jamb protectors plus corner blocks. Why: Prevents site damage claims and keeps public areas safe.

HDD/Media Crusher

What: Bench pneumatic crusher for physical destruction of HDDs/SSD trays on request. Why: Immediate, witnessed data sanitisation compliant with policy.

Hand Tools (general)

What: ESD-safe screwdrivers, nut drivers, hex/Torx keys, side-cutters and tweezers. Why: Covers most assembly tasks; correct tip & torque reduces rework.

IT & Documents (laptop + runbooks)

What: Engineer laptop with runbooks, port maps, label matrices and sign-off packs. Why: Keeps every task observable and controlled; fewer errors and rollbacks.

IT Cleaning Kit

What: Anti-static wipes, isopropyl pens, air bulbs and lint-free cloths. Why: Cleaner contacts reduce connection faults and improve QA outcomes.

Pallet Box System

What: Pallet with collars and lid for bulk parts or mixed small devices. Why: Efficient, protected bulk transport that stacks and tracks well.

PC & Personal Crates (IT1/LC3)

What: Stackable sealed crates for desktops, screens and personal effects. Why: Prevents damage/separation; keeps staff kit together across sites.

Peli-Case (accessories/instruments)

What: IP-rated instrument cases for testers, optics and small parts. Why: Protects calibrated gear; avoids costly damage or failed tests.

Personal Lighting (head & magnetic torches)

What: Headlamps for hands-free rack work; magnetic work lights for bays/cabinets. Why: Better visibility drives accuracy; prevents mis-patching in dark aisles.

Pump Truck (server pump lift)

What: Manual hydraulic server platform for lifting into RU with millimetre control. Why: Precise, safe placement—especially in dense racks or awkward heights.

QR / Barcode Scanner

What: Scans asset IDs, seals and cases into digital manifests. Why: Accurate chain-of-custody and location history for every asset. Used In relocation & disposal

Rack/Server Lifter

What: Narrow-aisle pump/crank lifter with padded forks for installing heavy kit at height. Why: Eliminates manual lifts; places devices precisely within RU targets.

Ratchet Straps

What: Blue cargo straps for securing cases on vehicles and dollies. Why: Prevents load shift; essential for safe transport and insurance compliance.

Server Flight Cases

What: Anti-static foam-lined, lockable cases with ball corners and butterfly latches. Why: Shock/abrasion protection; backbone of our tracked custody process.

Skates (furniture/machinery skates)

What: Low dollies with anti-slip tops and rollers for heavy racks/cases. Why: Moves heavy loads with minimal effort and floor loading.

Spare Cage Nuts & Bolts

What: Correct M6 hardware with washers for re-racking; stocked in size runs. Why: Avoids delays from missing fasteners; ensures proper load distribution.

Tamper-Seal Tag Kit

What: Numbered pull-seals and flat tags with manifest cards. Why: End-to-end custody that’s audit-ready and defensible. Proof of no tampering in transit.

Tone Generator & Probe

What: Copper cable tracing set for legacy patch identification. Why: Saves hours when labels are missing; reduces accidental disconnects.

Under-Floor Tools (tile lifters & ramps)

What: Suction lifters plus cable ramps/mats for safe access to raised-floor voids. Why: Enables safe routing while protecting tiles and people.

Velcro Management (hook-and-loop)

What: Rolls and pre-cut tabs for dressing looms and patch fields. Why: Re-openable ties aid maintenance, protect jackets and improve cooling.
