Why Hayward Labs Choose Ontrack
Our headquarters is in Hayward, a short drive from the industrial parks and industrial parks along Clawiter Road and the Industrial Parkway corridor. From Cal State East Bay teaching labs to clinical diagnostics facilities, environmental testing operations, and biotech startups, our crews handle sensitive instruments with the precision your work demands.

Local Response from HQ
Our headquarters is on Clawiter Road in Hayward. Local lab moves benefit from short transit distances and a crew based in the same city.
Industrial Corridor Access
Hayward's industrial parks house food science labs, environmental testing facilities, and biotech startups. We navigate loading docks, freight elevators, and industrial building access daily.
University Lab Coordination
University research labs run their own parking, facilities and academic-calendar requirements, and we confirm what applies with the campus before move day.
How much does a Hayward laboratory move cost?
As of June 2026, Ontrack Moving® relocates Hayward 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 Hayward?
As of June 2026, Ontrack Moving® moves -80C ultra-low (ULT) freezers for Hayward 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 Hayward?
As of June 2026, Ontrack Moving® relocates biosafety cabinets for Hayward 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.

Food Science Labs
Food testing and quality control facilities throughout Hayward's industrial corridor. We relocate analytical instruments, sample storage, testing equipment, and lab furniture with inventory tracking and careful handling for calibration-sensitive tools.
Environmental Testing
Environmental and water quality labs in Hayward's industrial parks. We transport spectrometers, chromatographs, water testing systems, and sample preparation equipment with vibration-aware packaging and pre-move calibration documentation.
Clinical Diagnostic Labs
Medical and diagnostic testing facilities. We relocate clinical analyzers, centrifuges, microscopes, automated testing systems, and diagnostic equipment. Moves can be scheduled during off-hours to minimize disruption to testing schedules.
University Research Labs
Cal State East Bay departments including biology, chemistry, and environmental science. We work with campus facilities management on parking permits and access, and schedule moves during academic breaks or low-activity periods.
Biotech Startups
Industrial park labs scaling from incubator space into dedicated facilities. We handle the transition of benchtop instruments, biosafety cabinets, freezer units, and lab furniture as your operation grows.
Cold Storage Transport
Freezers, refrigerators, and incubators for clinical, biotech, and food science operations. We coordinate backup power planning and temperature monitoring for the units themselves, and keep them off power for as little time as possible. Samples and reagents that need a licensed carrier move with that carrier.

Crews use custom crating, anti-static materials, and vibration-absorbing transport for analytical instruments. As a Hayward-headquartered company, our crews and trucks are minutes away from your facility.

Delicate collectibles handled with attention and care
Over the past 7 years, we've moved twice locally and used the storage vaults with OnTrack. Every single time I've called, made appointments or asked for info, every person I spoke with has been professional, knowledgeable and communicative. ... The movers packed the rooms methodically including delicate collectibles items with attention and care. They labeled all the boxes and walked over the new space and where items would go.

Very fast and caring crew, Hayward to Livermore
Eduardo (foreman), Edgar, Domingo, and Jaime were very great and exceeded beyond my expectations. Very fast and caring when transporting from Hayward to Livermore. They also asked questions where to move and I am very amazed that they are very organized. I would recommend this company because their price is fair and the moving structure is very professional.

Heavy item moved with special care over hardwood floors
Ontrack was responsive and very professional. Sam was very responsive to my emails and calls. He was able to estimate and schedule in a very short period of time. I needed to move a heavy BBQ. The move required special care since it needed to come through my home and over hardwood floors. Eduardo Arqueta and Santiago Acevedo were very professional and took great care to not cause any damage. I would recommend Ontrack for any move.
