DOHA: GWC Fine Arts recently unveiled two new trucks specifically designed for the fine art movements in accordance with the highest European standards.  The 10-tonne and 20-tonne trucks were fitted with air ride suspension to absorb shocks at point of impact, keeping the contents inside stable. 
The interior has also been fitted with specialised flooring and the walls have been lined with industry-specific load bars, allowing crates to be lashed and fixed to the walls, further reducing movement of the truck contents. 
With the additional temperature control measures in place within the vehicles, the transported artwork may be transported as needed without exposure to external factors and influences.
“GWC has become one of the rare firms in the region equipped to take on the highly specialised activity of transporting works of art by constantly adding to its warehousing and transportation assets in this way,” said GWC Group CEO Ranjeev Menon.  
As a carrier, packer, customs broker, and airfreight agent, GWC Fine Art offers the best guarantee of care, discretion, security and efficiency for any move or installation request for a wide variety of fine art logistics requirements.
