Our Step-by-Step Lab & Medical Equipment Moving Process

Our heavy equipment movers adhere to a rigorous, comprehensive framework guaranteed to eliminate the risk of damage and maintain the integrity of your equipment and assets. Our process is tailored to each client’s unique needs and timeline, but includes:

• Assessment, Inventory, and Planning – We audit all inventory and catalog every asset. Our team will complete a hazard assessment and compliance planning. We then conduct regulatory mapping to determine the required permits and documentation. Our medical equipment transporters oversee site surveys to measure distance, doorways, hallways, elevators, and more.
• Pre-Move Preparation and Decommissioning – Your team will clean and sterilize all equipment and issue formal decontamination certificates. Your IT personnel will back up all hardware and software, reconcile records, and update all data. Certified OEM engineers will power down sensitive instruments and equipment and secure all internal components. Hazardous materials will be packed by certified dangerous goods specialists utilizing DOT-approved transport containers.
• Packing and Rigging – Our crew will pack all delicate and fragile equipment and instruments using anti-static wrap, shock-absorbing foam, and custom wooden crates. We will use specialized heavy-rigging equipment to safely transport oversized machinery and equipment. We will use shock sensors, tilt indicators, and real-time temperature-logging equipment to maintain safety and stability during transit.
• Secure Transit – All assets will be loaded into specialized transit vehicles. Temperature-sensitive items will undergo climate-controlled loading, and delicate items will be placed in vibration-isolated transport. Our logistics team will use GPS to provide real-time tracking data.
• Delivery and Recommissioning – We will unload the vehicles and use rigging equipment and precision pathways to deliver each asset to its mapped location. We will undergo uncrating and inspection, and then OEM engineers will reassemble the instruments and equipment and perform testing and validation.
