FAQs
Can you move a full-height 42U rack from Carlisle to colo?▼
Yes if it fits a Luton with tail-lift and we can two-man it flat with wheels off. For heavy fully-populated racks or DC-scale moves, use a data-centre specialist — we'll say so honestly.
Will the driver help lift it into the DC?▼
To the DC lift or ground-floor threshold, yes. Inside the DC hall, colo access rules usually dictate who touches the rack — flag it with your colo.
Weekend slot?▼
Yes — Saturday and Sunday out-of-hours slots are standard on IT moves. Small OOH uplift, quoted upfront.
Are you insured?▼
Yes — up to £5,000 Goods-in-Transit and £1m Public Liability. A current certificate of insurance can be emailed before the first job.
Can I open a business account?▼
Yes. 5-minute application, subject to credit check. Book against a PO, get one consolidated invoice per month, 30-day terms.
How fast can you collect?▼
Urgent collection is typically 60–90 minutes from booking, depending on driver position. Flexi7 covers collection and delivery within seven days and is normally around 30% below the equivalent dedicated service where suitable and available.
