Moreover, in some cases, the data needs to be packaged securely and sent to the new premises. In short, the moving service should perform the following tasks:

• Relocation of laboratory material
• Transmission of laboratory data
• Transfer of samples and research material

Once the moving company relocates all the necessary items to the new premises everything should be inspected. Unpack everything and go through the inventory list and check the condition of the material.

Planning the move

Whether you move a lab across the hall or the street, it is not an easy task. Moreover, the reality is that no two labs are the same. Furthermore, to ensure that the lab move is a safe and efficient process, you need to create a detailed plan and schedule. Planning takes a lot of time. Thereupon allowing the company to have sufficient time to develop a fully functional plan is crucial. Planning all the details is essential when dealing with laboratory equipment relocation, especially if you are moving to multiple locations. Therefore, we at Moving companies Pompano Beach FL help with planning the logistics of the move well ahead of your actual moving date. Once we develop the plan together, it is necessary to review it with all the parties involved.

Furthermore, a project plan needs to cover all operational aspects of the move. It should coordinate shipping and receiving facilities, identify and prioritize critical assets. We adapt our operations according to the specificities of the machines. Also, it is of great importance to specify the location of the goods in the new space, describe the logistical obstacles and identify the essential transport needs. We study the loading and unloading accesses in order to anticipate any difficulties. All the measures to be taken before, during, and after the transfer of equipment from your laboratory are determined upstream.

Besides, our movers scrupulously respect the rules of hygiene and safety.

Making a stock inventory before the relocation is an important step

Before any move takes place, stock inventory should be made. What to keep and what to toss?  However, hazardous waste should be properly removed. Since these chemicals can be a source of explosion contacting professionals who will take care of them and remove it properly from the premises is the way to go. Our experts know the issues involved in such a move. We label all the so-called “risky” materials in a specific way. This allows you to store compatible and incompatible materials separately.
