How do you move a -80C ULT freezer in Mountain View?
As of June 2026, Ontrack Moving® moves -80C ultra-low (ULT) freezers for Mountain View labs by powering the unit down, transporting it upright, and allowing a 4 to 12 hour settle and stabilization window 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 0% Federal Out-of-Service Rate.
How do you move a biosafety cabinet (BSC) in Mountain View?
As of June 2026, Ontrack Moving® relocates biosafety cabinets for Mountain View 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.

Precision at every step
How We Handle Sensitive Lab Equipment
Anti-Vibration Transport
Aerospace sensors, precision balances, and optical instruments are vulnerable to vibration damage. We use shock-absorbing padding, air-ride suspension awareness, and custom bracing to minimize vibration exposure during transport between Mountain View facilities and across the Bay Area.
Calibration Awareness
We document instrument calibration status before the move and coordinate with your calibration vendors for post-move verification. Reference standards, test fixtures, and calibration artifacts are transported separately with documented handling logs to protect your measurement traceability.
Temperature Control
Biological specimens, chemical reagents, and temperature-sensitive electronics need consistent conditions. We offer temperature-aware transport with monitoring and climate-controlled storage options for items that cannot tolerate ambient conditions during your Mountain View lab relocation.
Anti-Static Floor Protection (Masonite)
Masonite hardboard runners protect ESD-sensitive floors during transit. Required for semiconductor, electronics testing, and cleanroom-adjacent lab spaces where static discharge can damage calibrated instruments or contaminate sensitive processes in Mountain View.
HEPA-Filtered Moving Equipment
Our Mountain View lab moving crews use HEPA-filtered vacuum systems and particle-controlled wrapping materials during cleanroom equipment moves. This prevents airborne contaminants from compromising ISO-classified environments during the relocation window.
