Art Logistics in Riverton, WY for Pieces That Cannot Be Replaced
With most freight, damage is a claim. With artwork, damage is a loss, the value resides in the object itself and no substitute exists. That single fact changes everything about how a shipment is packed, loaded, routed, and documented. Redman Van & Storage handles fine art in Riverton, as well as 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
- Assessment and condition report. Each work is inspected, measured, and photographed, and existing condition is noted before anything is touched.
- Packing method selection. Medium, framing, glazing, value, and transit distance determine whether the work moves soft-packed, in a travel frame, or in a custom crate made in Riverton.
- Transport. Pieces move through Riverton in air-ride, climate-considerate trucks, on exclusive-use vehicles when the collection or the client demands it.
- Delivery, installation, and re-inspection. Our trained crews in Riverton place, hang, or install the work, and the condition report is finalized again with the client or registrar present.

FAQ Block (schema-ready)
Do you construct custom crates for art pieces?
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, purpose-built crates are a practical option for works that are transported regularly between exhibitions or homes.
How is artwork secured during transport?
Works move in air-ride, climate-considerate trucks, braced so nothing slides and nothing abrasive is placed against them, and accompanied by trained two-person crews. A condition report with photographs is completed before pickup and again at delivery, so any change in condition is documented at the point it is discovered.
Can you store a collection between exhibitions or moves?
Yes. We offer secure, access-controlled storage in Riverton with padded vault and racked options, inventory and condition records, and terms spanning a few weeks between shows to long-term collection storage.
