Fremont
Laboratory Movers
Fremont is home to Lam Research and Tesla, and to a wider base of semiconductor, life-science and manufacturing R&D operations. These facilities house heavy semiconductor tools, biotech instruments, and manufacturing R&D equipment that general movers are not equipped to handle. Our crews relocate industrial-scale lab equipment with rigging expertise, vibration-conscious transport, and site survey planning built for warehouse-lab combination spaces.
Moving + Storage under one roof, one company, one point of contact Plus complimentary moving blankets, wardrobe boxes, and floor protection with every move.

Why Fremont labs trust us
Why Fremont Labs Choose Ontrack
Fremont sits at the intersection of semiconductor manufacturing, biotech research, and industrial R&D. Semiconductor, life-science and manufacturing R&D operations in Fremont run labs with equipment that weighs thousands of pounds and requires anti-static handling, cleanroom awareness, and vibration-dampened transport. 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 and to the access conditions at the site.
Semiconductor and Fab Equipment Handling
Fremont's semiconductor facilities require anti-static handling, particle-controlled packaging, and vibration-dampened transport for lithography and etching equipment.
Warehouse-Lab Combo Moves
Many Fremont labs share space with manufacturing floors. We coordinate phased moves so the lab sections come out in an order that works around the production schedule.
Heavy Equipment Rigging
Industrial-scale lab equipment in Fremont facilities often requires rigging, forklifts, and custom crating for safe extraction and placement.
How much does a Fremont laboratory move cost?
As of June 2026, Ontrack Moving® relocates Fremont 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 Fremont?
As of June 2026, Ontrack Moving® moves -80C ultra-low (ULT) freezers for Fremont 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 Fremont?
As of June 2026, Ontrack Moving® relocates biosafety cabinets for Fremont labs that typically weigh 600 to 1,200 lb, coordinating surface and gaseous decontamination plus NSF/ANSI 49 recertification by a certified vendor 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.
Lab moving expertise
Fremont Laboratory Moving Services
Semiconductor Equipment
Lam Research area fabs and cleanrooms. We transport lithography tools, etching systems, wafer handling equipment, and process control instruments with anti-static packaging and vibration-dampened crating designed for semiconductor-grade sensitivity.
Manufacturing R&D Labs
Production floor and R&D lab combos under one roof. We sequence warehouse inventory, manufacturing equipment, and lab instruments to minimize total downtime while relocating mixed-use industrial spaces around Warm Springs and the I-880 corridor.
Biotech and Pharma Labs
Life science and pharma operations across Fremont. We relocate biosafety cabinets, chromatography systems, ultra-low freezers, and cold storage with temperature-aware transport and decontamination scheduling coordination.
Analytical Instruments
Spectrometers, electron microscopes, mass spectrometers, and precision measurement tools. Instruments in scope are inventoried, cushioned in vibration-isolating crates, and transported with level monitoring so calibration can be verified afterward.
Warehouse Lab Relocation
Large footprint industrial lab spaces along Fremont's industrial corridors. We map loading dock access, heavy equipment staging areas, and freight elevator capacity during our pre-move site survey for spaces that combine research and warehousing.
Equipment Disposal
Decommissioned equipment with Certificate of Destruction. When Fremont labs retire outdated instruments, we coordinate disposal logistics with licensed vendors, who perform the destruction and issue the Certificate of Destruction for your compliance records.

Equipment handling protocols
How We Handle Fremont's Research Equipment
Industrial and research instruments are engineered for precision, not portability. Our handling protocols are built around that precision.
Instrument Protection Measures
- Anti-static wrist straps and ESD-safe packaging
- Vibration-isolating crates for sensitive instruments
- Level-monitoring during transport for optical equipment
- Custom foam inserts for irregular-shaped instruments
- Pre-move calibration state documentation
- Dedicated trucks assigned to your move, not shared freight
Hazardous Materials Policy
- We do not transport hazardous materials directly
- We coordinate with licensed hazmat carriers for chemicals
- Biological samples and radioactive materials require licensed transport
- We work with your EH&S team on compliance requirements
- Non-hazardous lab items in scope handled by our trained crews
- Pre-move inventory separates hazmat from standard equipment

Fremont Laboratory Moving FAQs
Fremont labs often house large-format semiconductor tools weighing thousands of pounds. We conduct a pre-move site survey to assess floor loading, dock access, and rigging requirements. Heavy equipment receives custom crating, air-ride transport, and vibration monitoring. We coordinate with your facilities team for power disconnection and loading dock scheduling at both locations.
Yes. Fremont has many industrial spaces that combine warehouse storage, manufacturing areas, and lab suites under one roof. We plan these moves as integrated projects, sequencing warehouse inventory, manufacturing equipment, and lab instruments to minimize total downtime. Loading dock access and heavy equipment staging are mapped during our site survey.
We coordinate with licensed hazmat carriers for the transport of hazardous materials. We do not directly transport hazardous materials. Our team handles the non-hazardous lab equipment, manufacturing tools, instruments, and infrastructure in scope. We work with your EHS team to align hazmat transport with the overall move schedule.

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.

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.

Quick with the quote and the COI for our 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... 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.
