Equipment Transportation (Business travel), also known as assistive device travel support, refers to accommodations that help employees transport essential equipment safely and conveniently during work-related travel. This accommodation supports individuals who rely on specialized tools, such as mobility aids, communication devices, or medical equipment, by facilitating their movement between locations without damage or loss. By providing logistical assistance, Equipment Transportation reduces stress and physical strain, allowing employees with disabilities to participate fully in off-site meetings, conferences, or client visits. It plays a crucial role in promoting workplace inclusion and accessibility during business trips.
Begin by identifying the specific equipment that needs to be transported and communicate these needs to your HR or accommodations team well before travel dates. Use protective cases or specialized carriers to prevent damage. Coordinate with travel providers to accommodate oversized or sensitive items. Keep a checklist of equipment to track during transit, and schedule regular maintenance checks after travel to maintain functionality.
