We are taking every measure to keep ourselves safe, and are following the latest regulations from the government in regards to health and safety procedures for transport and logistics. We offer a contact-free service, and can also wrap your consignment to avoid any surface contact.
Thank you for your support and encouragement during these difficult few months.
We are an artist-run partnership and work closely with artists, galleries, museums, auction houses and collectors. After five years in the Art logistics industry, in 2018 we decided to start ArtCargo, making the most of our combined experience to provide a reliable and cost-effective art transport service between London and Scotland.
With our custom-built Art Van, we offer a fortnightly part-load transport service between London and Scotland (Edinburgh and Glasgow), also collecting and delivering in major cities along the A1 / M6 (Manchester, Leeds, York and Newcastle upon Tyne)
In October 2020 we launched a second part-load service to cover Wiltshire and Somerset, offering art transports to Oxford, Bristol, Bath and Bruton.
Contact us with any questions, we'd be happy to hear from you,

Rodrigo and Victor
Part-load or 'groupage' consists of grouping several consignments for different clients on the same vehicle and transport route. Working with part-load routes allows us to offer the most cost-effective service to our clients, with a reduced impact on the ecosystem (less emissions per consignment)
North of the UK and Scotland
We run a fortnightly service, starting from London on Tuesdays and collecting/delivering in Cambridge, Leeds/York, en-route to Edinburgh and Glasgow. The return journey allows us to deliver/collect in Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham, before returning to London.
The West Country
Due to the success of our Scotland route, in October 2020 we launched a second part-load service to cover Wiltshire and Somerset, offering art transports to Oxford, Bristol, Bath and Bruton.
Route Diversion: An extension of our part-load service
We also can offer a 'route diversion' to cover places close to our main routes, allowing us to offer a bespoke service at the most competitive rate.

We operate with a comprehensive Contractors' Liability Insurance as well as Public Liability Insurance. We also offer additional 'nail to nail' and full insurance coverage for your work during transport.
We can pack artwork using conservation materials, and also order pre-made Art Envelopes for most 2D pieces. From standard tyvek and bubble wrap to r.u.b boxes, we carry materials to ensure your work travels safely.
For longer-haul transport, sculptures and fragile work, we can commission bespoke professional crates and have them ready for you on collection.
We have ample experience advising clients on the best way to display their art. From conservation and framing, to which wall, what height and even which hanging system is best for your work, we'll make sure every piece not only looks its best, but is also installed according to the required conservation specifications.
We can take in consignments from other shippers on your behalf for work traveling to Scotland or locations in the UK. We can also collect and hand out to the shipper of your choice from our storage space in London.
GPS tracker allows us to track the exact location of our Art Van at all times. We can update clients on ETAs and location on request.
