A production copier can weigh 300 to 800 pounds or more. Getting it across the country is the easy part. The hard part is the last 100 feet: a building with no loading dock, a street a tractor-trailer can't turn onto, a flight of stairs, or an elevator that's two inches too small.
That's where most copier damage happens, and where most deliveries go wrong. Here's how we handle it.
Why Copier Deliveries Get Stuck
Copier dealers and leasing companies tell us the same problems over and over:
- No loading dock: Most offices, schools and medical practices don't have one. A dock-height trailer can't unload there.
- The truck is too big: Downtown streets, office parks with tight lots and residential areas can't fit a 53-foot trailer.
- Stairs and small elevators: Second-floor offices, basements and older buildings need a crew and the right equipment.
- The machine has to be set in place: Dropping a copier on the sidewalk or in a lobby isn't a delivery. Your tech needs it in the right room, ready to install.
How We Deliver Copiers the Right Way
- Pickup: We pick up from your warehouse, the manufacturer or a previous customer site.
- The right truck for the address: For tight locations, we move the copier onto a liftgate truck that can reach the door.
- Upright, padded and strapped: Copiers ride upright, blanket-wrapped and secured so drums, fusers and scanners aren't damaged.
- Inside delivery: Our crew brings it through the door, up stairs or elevators with stair climbers and moving equipment, and into the room you choose.
- Set in place: We unwrap it, place it where it will be used and take away the packaging and debris, so your tech can install it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is white glove copier delivery?
It's delivery that goes past the curb. The crew brings the copier inside, places it in the room you choose, unwraps it and takes away the packaging.
Can you deliver a copier to a building with no loading dock?
Yes. We use liftgate trucks and pallet jacks so a dock isn't needed.
Can you move a copier up stairs?
Yes. Our crews use stair climbers and the right equipment to move copiers up and down stairs safely. Tell us about the stairs when you request a quote.
Do you install or network the copier?
We set the copier in place and remove the packaging. Basic setup is available, and your technician handles the network and software install. Tell us what you need when you request a quote.
Can you pick up the old copier at the same time?
Yes. We can haul away the old unit on the same trip and bring it back to your warehouse or the leasing company.
