Art Transport Services
Climate-controlled transport
Temperature and humidity managed in transit, protecting canvas, wood, and paper from the swings that crack and warp.
Regional and statewide shuttles
Regular routes across New York and the Northeast, connecting our Central New York base to the metro art centers.
Dedicated transport
Exclusive-use vehicles for single works or collections whose value, fragility, or schedule rules out shared loads.
Long-distance and national moves
Works carried across the country, door to door.
Local and last-mile delivery
Gallery-to-collector, auction-to-home, and museum-to-museum movements handled with full care at any distance.
Crated or soft-packed
Transport coordinated with our crating shop so every work travels in the protection its route demands.
What Disciplined Art Transport Looks Like
The vehicle is only the start. Works are secured against rated tie-down points, padded and separated so nothing contacts a surface, and loaded by handlers who know what they are carrying. Custody is documented at every transfer: who packed it, who loaded it, who drove, who received. If a question ever arises, the answer is on paper.
Routing gets the same attention. Direct routes, planned stops, and drivers who understand that an art shipment does not sit in an unattended vehicle. For works with lender requirements, we accommodate your courier, and our federally certified TSA screening means crates fly without being opened at the airport.
Scheduling deserves an early call. Shuttle routes run on regular cycles, dedicated vehicles are booked against a finite fleet, and exhibition calendars tend to stack shipments into the same weeks. The earlier a shipment is booked, the more routing options exist, and the less your timeline depends on luck.

Got Questions? We've got answers
We answer the questions people actually ask before hiring a mover: licensing, coverage, pricing, and what happens on moving day.
Yes. Art moves in vehicles with managed temperature and humidity, because the cargo area of an ordinary truck swings through ranges that damage paint layers, wood, and paper.
Shuttles consolidate multiple clients’ works on regular regional routes, sharing cost. Dedicated transport gives one client exclusive use of the vehicle and schedule. We quote both where appropriate so you choose.
Through documented transfer at every step: packing, loading, transit, and receipt, with condition reports bracketing the trip. Every handler in the chain is a Naglee employee.
Yes. When lender agreements or collection policies require accompanied transport, we accommodate your courier on every leg of the trip, with our crews following their handling and custody protocols.
Yes. For works that fly, we crate to export standard, perform federally certified TSA screening so crates are not opened at the airport, and manage the ground legs on both ends.
Two to four weeks for most regional shipments, longer for dedicated transport and exhibition season. Urgent moves are often possible, but early booking buys better routing and calmer logistics.
