Why Sunnyvale research facilities choose us

Your Lab Equipment Is Too Valuable for Guesswork

Sunnyvale labs house networking test beds, defense prototypes, semiconductor fab tools, and medical device testing systems. Downtime costs more than the move itself. Our crews understand how to handle rack-mounted infrastructure, EMI-sensitive instruments, and classified-environment protocols so your lab comes back online on schedule.

Defense Contractor Facility Protocols

We work with facility security managers at Lockheed Martin and other defense contractors to meet access requirements, vehicle clearance, scheduling windows, and insurance documentation for controlled-access environments.

EMI-Shielded Lab Awareness

Networking labs from Juniper, Fortinet, and cybersecurity companies rely on EMI-shielded environments. We transport RF testing equipment, protocol analyzers, and shielded enclosures with electromagnetic sensitivity in mind.

Network Infrastructure Relocation

Full rack systems, switch fabrics, traffic generators, and test bed infrastructure are labeled, documented, carefully transported, and placed at the new location following your rack layout specifications.

Precision at every step

How does Ontrack handle sensitive lab equipment?

Anti-Vibration Transport

Precision test equipment, optical instruments, and calibrated measurement systems are vulnerable to vibration. We use shock-absorbing materials, custom bracing, and air-ride suspension awareness to minimize vibration exposure during transport between Sunnyvale facilities.

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 golden units are transported separately with documented handling logs to protect your measurement integrity.

Temperature Control

Biological samples, 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 temperature fluctuations during your Sunnyvale lab move.

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 Sunnyvale.

HEPA-Filtered Moving Equipment

Our Sunnyvale 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.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Lab Moving in Sunnyvale

How do you handle network testing equipment during a laboratory move?

We inventory every piece of network testing equipment before the move, use anti-static packaging and custom bracing for rack-mounted systems, protocol analyzers, and traffic generators, and transport them with vibration-conscious care. Our crews coordinate with your network engineering team on power-down sequencing and cable labeling to support accurate reconnection.

Can you coordinate with defense contractor facility protocols in Sunnyvale?

Yes. We work with defense contractor facility managers at Lockheed Martin and similar organizations to meet access, scheduling, and security requirements for controlled-access lab relocations. We handle COI submissions, vehicle clearance coordination, and scheduling around operational windows. Our team adapts to the protocols each facility requires.

Do you handle hazardous materials in laboratory moves?

We coordinate with licensed hazmat carriers for any hazardous materials that need to be transported. We do not directly transport hazardous materials. Our team handles all non-hazardous lab equipment, furniture, instruments, and supplies. We work with your Environmental Health and Safety team to support compliance throughout the relocation process.

What is the best laboratory moving company in Sunnyvale?

Ontrack Moving is a top-rated laboratory moving provider in Sunnyvale, with a 4.9/5 rating from 2,847+ verified reviews. We serve Juniper Networks, Fortinet, Lockheed Martin, and medical device labs throughout Sunnyvale with USDOT #2551548 authorization and $10M general liability coverage.

How much does it cost to move a laboratory in Sunnyvale?

As of June 2026, Ontrack Moving® quotes Sunnyvale laboratory moves on a scope-driven range: a small or dry lab typically runs $8,000 to $25,000, a mid-size analytical or biotech lab $50,000 to $150,000, and large production or pharma relocations can exceed $500,000. 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.

Can you relocate EMI-shielded lab environments?

Yes. Sunnyvale is home to networking, cybersecurity, and defense labs that rely on EMI-shielded environments. We transport sensitive RF and electromagnetic testing equipment with shielding awareness and coordinate with your facilities team on room decommission and setup at the new location. The shielding infrastructure itself typically requires specialized contractors, which we can help coordinate.

How far in advance should we schedule a laboratory move in Sunnyvale?

We recommend scheduling 4-8 weeks in advance for laboratory relocations in Sunnyvale. Facilities with defense contractor access requirements or complex networking infrastructure may benefit from 8-12 weeks of planning lead time. This allows time for site surveys, equipment inventory, vendor coordination, and security clearance processing at both locations.

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 from 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 made sure we were happy with the final setup.

Seven years of reliable service

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. Sam handled both moves. The first move, my partner and I consolidated 2 houses and moved into a new one. Sam was patient as I asked questions; he was transparent with pricing, move logistics and communications.
