7 Moving Tips for Businesses with Specialized Equipment and Facilities

Relocating a business that operates with specialized equipment and facilities involves a unique set of challenges. Ensuring the safety and functionality of delicate instruments, machinery, and other critical assets requires meticulous planning and execution. Here are key strategies to facilitate a smooth and efficient move:

1. Detailed Inventory and Assessment

Before the move, we will conduct a comprehensive inventory of all specialized equipment and assess its condition. This includes documenting model numbers, specifications, and any existing damages. This step is crucial for setting up a tracking system to monitor items throughout the move and verifying everything arrives in its original condition.

2. Consult with Manufacturers or Specialists

Specialized equipment often has specific handling requirements that may not be obvious. It’s advisable to consult with manufacturers or specialized handlers for recommendations on packaging and transportation. This can include advice on climate controls, handling procedures, and even reinstallation at the new location. 

3. Customized Packing Solutions

We use customized packing materials and crates tailored to the dimensions and sensitivities of your equipment, as standard moving supplies may not provide adequate protection for specialized assets. 

4. Professional Moving Services

The professionals at CRS Moving & Storage are equipped with the tools and specialized knowledge necessary to handle your assets with the utmost care.  

5. Regulatory Compliance and Permits

If your equipment requires adherence to specific regulatory standards or needs permits for transportation, we can arrange these well in advance. Compliance with local, state, and federal regulations can prevent legal issues and delays.

6. Testing and Calibration

Once the equipment is installed at the new location, we help you perform thorough testing and calibration before resuming full operations. This ensures that everything is functioning correctly and maintains operational continuity. 

By incorporating these steps into your relocation plan, you may significantly minimize the risks associated with moving specialized business equipment and facilities.
