It involves preserving historical integrity, navigating strict Insurance requirements, and trusting external teams with irreplaceable cultural heritage.
With over 41 years of specialized experience and thousands of high-value art moves completed across Singapore, we have evolved beyond being simple "movers." We are custodians of culture.
Whether you are transporting a single contemporary painting, relocating an entire museum exhibition, or moving a heavy bronze sculpture, our mission is simple: to ensure absolute preservation.
Get to move with confidence and security. Many of our gallery clients in Singapore opt for our full packing and crating service. It is the best option for a truly risk-free transition.
Before The Move: Our specialist team will arrive at your gallery or home with archival-quality supplies. This includes acid-free tissue, glassine paper, bubble wrap, and corner protectors.
The Packing: We carefully soft-pack the artwork before securing it in custom-built wooden crates. We pay special attention to the surface of oil paintings, using "travel frames" to ensure nothing touches the canvas. This is a key part of our preservation service.
After The Move: At your new location, we will uncrate your pieces and inspect them against the initial condition report. We can also offer detailed installation services if you need them. We will then clear away all the wooden crates and packing debris. This makes enjoying your collection immediate.
Art collections in Singapore often contain heavy or complex pieces. For example, items like large marble sculptures, heavy framed mirrors, and installation art often need to be dismantled or rigged to be moved safely.
Rigging: Our team has the correct gantry cranes and knowledge to lift heavy sculptures properly. We keep track of all plinths and mounting hardware so nothing is misplaced during the move.
Installation: Once at your new space, we will hang or mount the artwork on the walls you designate. We make sure everything is laser-leveled and secured with the proper hooks, so your gallery wall looks professional right away.
The transport phase is critical. Our modern fleet of trucks is clean, temperature-regulated, and equipped to dampen road vibrations that could cause micro-cracks in paint or plaster.
Our drivers are experienced professional art handlers who know Singapore's smoothest routes. They plan the transport to avoid humidity spikes, ensuring your collection arrives in the exact condition it left.
Sometimes your new gallery is not ready immediately. Or perhaps you are rotating your private collection.
We offer secure storage services. We can move your items into our clean, climate-controlled, and high-security storage facility. Your masterpieces will be kept safe from mold, pests, and theft until you are ready for them. Then, we will deliver and hang them for you. This service adds flexibility to your curation.
Shalom Movers provides disposal services. We can responsibly recycle your used wooden crates and packing foam.
This saves you the trouble of arranging a separate waste service. In fact, art logistics generates significant wood waste; we help you manage this part of the move responsibly and sustainably.
The Moving Day On the scheduled day, our uniformed art handling team will arrive on time.
We recommend booking at least 2 to 3 weeks in advance. Specialized art moves often require time to fabricate custom wooden crates (ISPM 15 certified) for your specific pieces. Early booking ensures we can prepare the necessary materials and allocate our senior art handlers.
