Why Burlingame labs trust us
Why Burlingame Labs Choose Ontrack
Burlingame sits at the intersection of the Peninsula biotech corridor and the SFO logistics zone. Clinical labs near Mills-Peninsula Medical Center, pharmaceutical offices along the El Camino corridor, and airport-area testing companies all rely on precision instruments that cannot tolerate rough handling or unplanned downtime. As the only Bay Area & Phoenix mover with dedicated lab relocation experience, we bring the right protocols to every instrument in Burlingame.
Clinical Lab Building Coordination
Mills-Peninsula and SFO-corridor buildings have unique loading dock schedules and freight elevator access. We coordinate with facility management for approved move windows.
SFO Corridor Logistics
Proximity to SFO creates traffic and timing challenges. Our crews plan routes and scheduling around airport-area congestion and building access restrictions.
Pharmaceutical Equipment Handling
Pharma compounding equipment, clinical analyzers, and temperature-sensitive materials require specialized packaging and transport protocols.

What Burlingame Businesses Say About Ontrack

BBB A+
Fair bid and careful handling from Burlingame
Ontrack Moving was fantastic. Paul came out to survey our storage locker and apartment and provided a fair bid for a move from Burlingame, CA to Oak Harbor, WA. ... Nelson and Carlos were very careful with antiques, a 75" television, loads of boxes, dishes, etc. We would recommend them for any residential long distance move. Their process was transparent, communication was clear, pricing was fair, and professionalism was solid.

COI handled quickly for office move
We had a great experience with On Track Moving. From the start, they were quick with providing us a quote and COI for our office move. A special thanks to Paul who answered the dozens of questions we had. He's been incredibly diligent and helpful from throughout. And Carmina who scheduled the move and parking permits. Also, the amazing crew we had over the weekend, Hugoa and his team! When we ran into issues with our furniture layout, On Track was quick to solve them, worked beyond their hours, and made sure we were happy with the final setup.
