Leading Professional Movers Give Their Advice on Moving Office Equipment

Whether your business is expanding, or you’re required to make some cutbacks, moving office equipment is no easy task. From fragile computers to heavy fax machines, transporting everything safely requires careful planning and execution. Here are five tips from the professional movers at University Moving and Storage that can help you move your office equipment on-time and on-budget:

  1. Lay the groundwork. It’s never too early to start preparing for this sort of project. Give yourself at least three months to finalize the details of your relocation, including the amount of materials needed to move your equipment and where it will all go. A little extra preparation on the front end will save you valuable time and energy later.
  2. Hire reliable movers. Hiring professional movers with experience in commercial moves can make all the difference when it comes to transporting office equipment. They will be able to correctly assemble, crate, and handle high-value items and custom fixtures. Many moving companies will allow you to customize your moving plan so you may select the specific services you need.
  3. Label, pack, and disassemble. Whether or not you’re hiring professional movers, chances are you will still be involved in the packing process. Create a master inventory list of every box, bin, and furniture piece you’re moving, so you can be sure that everything made it off the truck. Come up with a comprehensive labelling system so both you and the movers can easily locate items quickly and easily.
  4. Get IT involved. While most professional movers come with a wide range of skills, some electronics may need to be handled by IT. Get all the data cabling installed before IT arrives at your new location. They will likely be responsible for checking the equipment, internet connections, phone plans, and wiring.
  5. Consider commercial storage. All businesses can benefit from extra space. Ask your movers about commercial storage solutions for any non-essential equipment that’s making your “backroom” hard to navigate. Look for a secure, clean, and climate-controlled facility so that any delicate items will be protected from harsh conditions.
