Our Laboratory Moving Process

At Western Van and Storage, we follow a methodical approach to make sure your laboratory moving project is a success all the way through:

  1. Initial Consultation and Assessment
    We kick off your move with an on-site visit or virtual consultation to identify project goals and evaluate logistics. We identify sensitive equipment, storage conditions, and logistical challenges.
  2. Custom Move Plan
    Our team outlines an itemized move strategy that includes labeling, packing protocols, transportation requirements, and lab-specific compliance considerations.
  3. Expert Packing and Labeling
    Each piece of equipment and every sample is carefully secured in custom crates and shock-resistant padding. Items are tagged for organized reassembly and reinstallation.
  4. Secure Transport and Tracking
    We utilize secure, GPS-tracked transport vehicles designed for sensitive cargo.
  5. Installation and Reassembly
    Once onsite, we take care of reassembly, equipment placement, and on-site collaboration to confirm everything is back in working order.
