Why Climate Control Is Important In Long-distance Residential Moving Vans

The question of how to transport cargo of a sensitive

, perishable or otherwise fragile nature cross-country is a serious issue for museums, owners of private collections and some businesses - as well as their insurance companies. Homeowners who are moving their households across long distances may wish to provide an extra measure of security for their possessions as well; the thought of their computer or wide-screen TV tumbling around in the moving van on icy roads with high indoor humidity is often enough to make them consider a safer method of transportation. Whatever the case, climate-controlled moving services help preserve cargo that might otherwise be damaged during transit. Exposure to extreme temperatures, moisture, UV radiation or other elements can spell doom for a valuable work of art or electronics component.

When evaluating options, keep in mind that the term "climate controlled" may have different meanings for different people and businesses. For example, moving services specializing in industrial or high-tech applications may offer lab transport vehicles (LTVs) that allow fridges and freezers to be plugged in during shipment, preserving their contents at the appropriate temperature. Moving trucks may be 100 percent air-ride equipped - that is, outfitted with an advanced suspension system designed to absorb vibration from the road. Other firms specializing in long-distance residential moves may not offer fully insulated, climate-controlled vans tracked by satellite, necessarily; nonetheless they provide more comfortable, less harsh transport conditions for a family's possessions.

While precious cargo, such as museum-quality artwork, requires special accommodations like satellite monitoring, families relocating cross-country are not likely to require the same oversight. For most of them, climate control is more about having a watertight moving van with a properly air-conditioned dry storage area to keep home electronics, musical instruments and delicate furniture from overheating, expanding or contracting, or growing mold.

Long-distance moving brings with it the potential for damage or destruction of property en route to the destination. When this potential for loss is unacceptable due to the pricelessness or sensitivity of the cargo, climate control is the only way to ensure it stays completely protected, whether from excessive movement, extreme temperatures, moisture, light or dust. Homeowners also have a vested interest in seeing their possessions and personal valuables arrive safely. They expect their things to arrive dry and in the same condition they left them in. Climate-controlled compartments in long-distance moving vans help to bring about this result every time.
