How Irish tech exporters are protecting shipments of servers, peripherals and specialist hardware

Whether it’s servers bound for a European data centre, sensitive lab equipment, or high-value peripherals destined for a distribution hub, the stakes for transporting this type of equipment are high — in cost, complexity, and consequence.

At HANNON Transport, we specialise in secure, time-sensitive logistics for high-value, low-volume consignments. With over 30 years’ experience supporting Irish exporters, we understand what’s required to protect product integrity and give peace of mind throughout the journey.

Why Tech Shipments Need More Than Standard Freight

Unlike bulk or lower-cost goods, servers and technical hardware require a higher level of service — one built on security, control, and traceability. These consignments are frequently:

• Time-sensitive – for datacentre go-lives or project-critical deadlines
• Sensitive to handling – physical shock or temperature fluctuations can cause significant damage
• At risk of theft – especially during vulnerable handovers or transits
• Going to restricted-access or airside sites – requiring certified drivers and specialist equipment

We’re proud to support many of Ireland’s leading exporters in the tech sector with daily export services to the Netherlands, Belgium and wider northern Europe. Our service includes:

Supporting High-Tech Exports with Confidence

Irish tech exporters are competing globally — and logistics should be a strength, not a risk. That’s why we’ve built our transport offering around the standards and expectations of industries like IT, electronics, and telecoms.
