Artworks span many genres, and some are too large or heavy to be handled by manual labor or standard equipment alone. Drawing on the NX Group’s ability to use every transportation mode—land, sea, and air—Nippon Express works with specialist teams in heavy-lift transportation, air freight forwarding, and office relocation to meet a wide range of fine-art transportation needs.

International Air Freight
Nippon Express is also a leading freight forwarder. For fine-art transportation, where shorter transit times are essential, close coordination with our freight-forwarding team helps streamline customs-clearance procedures for international shipments. We have been a member of ARTIM (Art Transport International) since 2000 and also support international exhibition logistics in collaboration with specialist partners overseas.
Heavy-Lift Transportation
To handle large and heavy works of art, we work closely with NX specialists in heavy-lift transportation. Their experience ranges from transporting and installing power-generation equipment and plants to moving large observation decks and Shinkansen railcars. Both teams share expertise in transporting valuable, irreplaceable items. This collaboration enables us to handle a broader range of artworks.
Office Relocation
Nippon Express handles approximately 25,000 office relocation projects each year. Through close coordination with our relocation and moving specialists, we can also transport artworks kept in corporate offices. We have experience supporting relocation projects of every size.
