Art Logistics in Jackson, WY for Artworks That Are Truly Irreplaceable
With most freight, damage is a claim. With art, damage is a loss, the value resides in the object itself and no replacement exists. That one fact changes everything about how a shipment is crated, loaded, routed, and documented. Redman Van & Storage handles fine art in Jackson, along with antiques, sculpture, and collections to the standards museums, galleries, collectors, and corporate art programs expect, both locally and nationwide through the van line network.

How a Fine Art Shipment Is Handled
- Survey and condition report. Each work is inspected, measured, and photographed, and existing condition is noted before anything is touched.
- Selecting the packing method. Medium, framing, glazing, value, and transit distance decide whether the work moves soft-packed, in a travel frame, or in a custom crate built in Jackson.
- Transport. Pieces move through Jackson in air-ride, climate-considerate trucks, on exclusive-use vehicles where the collection or the client calls for it.
- Final delivery, installation, and re-inspection. Trained crews in Jackson place, hang, or install the work, and the condition report is completed again with the client or registrar present.

FAQ Block (schema-friendly)
Do you build custom crates for paintings and sculptures?
Yes. Crates are constructed to the individual piece, using travel frames, corner protection, foam and suspension packing, and archival materials suited to the medium. Reusable crates are a practical option for works that move repeatedly between exhibitions or residences.
How is artwork protected during transport?
Works move in air-ride, climate-considerate vehicles, secured so nothing shifts and nothing abrasive is packed against them, and accompanied by trained two-person crews. A condition report with photographs is finished before pickup and again at delivery, so any change in condition is recorded at the point it is discovered.
Can you store a collection between shows or moves?
Yes. We offer secure, access-controlled storage in Jackson with padded vault and racked options, inventory and condition records, and terms ranging from a few weeks between shows to long-term collection storage.
