San Francisco Biotech Corridor Lab Relocation

Ontrack Moving® works Parnassus Heights around tight street access, restricted parking and limited freight elevator availability. We book freight elevator reservations through campus facilities and pull temporary curbside loading zone permits from SFMTA when required. We file whatever move request the campus requires in advance and work to its security and badge access protocols. Allow extra lead time for any move to or from Parnassus compared to Mission Bay.

Contact Ontrack once the origin, destination and equipment scope are known. Build the move date around site access approval, the lab's EH&S process, equipment preparation and vendor availability. Confirm those dependencies with each responsible team before booking the physical move; a larger or phased project may need more planning time.

Ontrack Moving® works the Mission Bay and Parnassus research corridors, from university and institute campuses to the independent labs around them. Universities typically run on-campus moves through their own facilities group and bring outside movers in through their own intake process, so we work to whichever one the campus applies. Our crews work to the campus EH&S protocol that applies, and we schedule around your chemical inventory submission and clearance inspections rather than performing them.

Ontrack Moving® quotes San Francisco laboratory moves after reviewing the equipment, packing needs, access at both sites, crew time, distance and move sequence. Ask your equipment and cabinet vendors for separate estimates for any preparation, decontamination, testing or recalibration they need to perform. The written moving estimate identifies the agreed services and how changes, waiting time and additional materials affect charges.

Plan cold-storage equipment and its contents separately. The exact equipment model's manufacturer instructions govern preparation, transport and restart, while your lab's approved sample plan sets storage conditions, monitoring and acceptance checks. Agree who supplies each specialist service and how the equipment pickup and delivery fit that plan. Ontrack handles the agreed physical equipment move; hazardous materials travel under the lab's approved specialist arrangements.

Ontrack Moving® handles the physical relocation of cleared equipment from BSL-2 laboratories. Your institution's biosafety or EH&S team determines preparation, decontamination where required and release for handling. Agree those responsibilities and the equipment handoff before the crew arrives. Hazardous materials travel under the lab's approved specialist arrangements.

Ontrack Moving® carries a $10,000,000 Combined Protection Tower across multiple policies, not a single $10 million general liability or equipment policy. A Certificate of Insurance reflects the actual policies and endorsements; your facility reviews whether they meet its requirements. Standard limited equipment liability is $0.60 per pound per article under the applicable moving agreement. Ontrack does not sell additional insurance or valuation; ask about a referral to a third-party provider and review that provider's terms separately.
