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. Ontrack Moving® is an asset-based Bay Area and Phoenix mover with a dedicated laboratory relocation practice, and we match the handling protocol to the instrument in Burlingame.
Clinical Lab Building Coordination
Medical-campus and SFO-corridor buildings each run their own loading dock schedules and freight elevator access. We confirm those with facility management before setting a move window.
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.
How much does a Burlingame laboratory move cost?
As of June 2026, Ontrack Moving® relocates Burlingame laboratories across a scope-driven range: a small or dry lab runs about $8,000 to $25,000, a mid-size analytical or biotech lab about $50,000 to $150,000, and large production or pharma moves can exceed $500,000. Figures depend on instrument volume, vendor decontamination, recalibration, floor access, and building coordination. Final charges will be based on actual labor time, materials used, access conditions, scope changes, waiting time, and any additional services requested or required to complete the move.
How do you move a -80C ULT freezer in Burlingame?
As of June 2026, Ontrack Moving® moves -80C ultra-low (ULT) freezers for Burlingame labs by powering the unit down, transporting it upright, and allowing the settle and stabilization window the manufacturer specifies, commonly 4 to 24 hours depending on the unit, before reconnecting at the new site. Crews coordinate the power-down and re-power timing with your facilities team and document handling throughout, operating under USDOT #2551548 with a DOT inspection record that exceeds the national average.
How do you move a biosafety cabinet (BSC) in Burlingame?
As of June 2026, Ontrack Moving® relocates biosafety cabinets for Burlingame labs that typically weigh 600 to 1,200 lb, coordinating surface and gaseous decontamination plus NSF/ANSI 49 recertification, which your certified vendor performs before the cabinet returns to service. Crews use documented handling procedures, custom crating, and air-ride transport, backed by a $10,000,000 Combined Protection Tower for building liability and standard $0.60/lb cargo liability per article.

Clinical Labs
Hospital-adjacent and diagnostic labs throughout Burlingame. We work with hospital administration and facility management on freight elevator access, loading dock scheduling, and move windows during low-traffic periods.
Pharmaceutical Operations
Compounding facilities and pharmaceutical offices along the Burlingame corridor. Our crews handle pharma equipment with clean packaging protocols, compliance documentation, and temperature-aware transport for sensitive compounds.
Airport-Area Testing Labs
SFO logistics corridor companies with testing facilities. We navigate airport-area traffic patterns, limited loading zones, and the building access restrictions those airport-area sites set.
Analytical Instruments
Spectrometers, clinical analyzers, chromatography systems, and other precision instruments. Items in scope are inventoried, cushioned in vibration-isolating crates, and transported with level monitoring so calibration can be verified afterward.
Cold Storage Transport
Freezers, refrigerators, and temperature-sensitive materials used in Burlingame clinical and pharma labs. We coordinate backup power planning, temperature monitoring during transit, and minimal downtime scheduling for cold storage units.
Lab Decommissioning
Equipment disposal with Certificate of Destruction for decommissioned instruments, obsolete clinical equipment, and confidential pharmaceutical materials. We coordinate with licensed disposal vendors for compliant destruction or recycling.

Specialized add-ons such as -80C ULT freezer handling, biosafety cabinet decontamination and NSF/ANSI 49 recertification, and instrument recalibration (HPLC $400 to $1,200, mass spec $1,500 to $5,000, NMR $5,000 to $30,000) factor into the estimate. Final charges will be based on actual labor time, materials used, access conditions, scope changes, waiting time, and any additional services required to complete the move.
Yes. Our crews transport spectrometers, chromatography systems, clinical analyzers, PCR machines, and other precision instruments with vibration-dampening packaging, custom crating, and temperature-aware transport. Instruments in scope are inventoried, photographed, and tracked through the relocation.
Yes. Cleanroom equipment requires anti-contamination protocols during disassembly and transport. We handle the physical move and coordinate with your facilities team for reinstallation at the destination. We use protective wrapping, sealed packaging, and coordinate with your facilities team on the cleanliness requirements of the space. Biosafety cabinets and laminar flow hoods are handled so your certification vendor can requalify them after the move.
We coordinate the logistics for freezers, refrigerators, and cryogenic storage used in Burlingame clinical and pharma labs, including backup power planning, temperature monitoring during transit, and keeping the units off power for as little time as possible. Clinical specimens, pharmaceutical compounds and anything else that needs a licensed carrier move with that carrier, and we plan the equipment schedule around it.

Moved the laboratory on a Saturday to minimize downtime
I hired Ontrack Moving for a relocation of both an office and lab space in South San Francisco. Because we had two separate "workflows" to move, Ontrack provided a staggered relocation. They delivered materials promptly for us ahead of time, so we could prep accordingly. We moved the laboratory on a Saturday, in order to minimize pause in operations. And we completed the office move the following Tuesday... Super satisfied with the service provided by the South SF team and have already contracted them for additional work.

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 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 even came the next day to help us.

Office and warehouse move handled with care
We recently hired Ontrack Moving for our commercial relocation, and I couldn't be happier with their services. From start to finish they were on point. The movers were punctual, well-coordinated, and handled our office and warehouse move with care... Their experience in commercial moving was evident throughout the process. I highly recommend Ontrack Moving for their outstanding service.
