How much does a Sunnyvale laboratory move cost?
As of June 2026, Ontrack Moving® relocates Sunnyvale 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 Sunnyvale?
As of June 2026, Ontrack Moving® moves -80C ultra-low (ULT) freezers for Sunnyvale labs by transporting it upright and allowing the settle and stabilization window the manufacturer specifies, commonly 4 to 24 hours depending on the unit, before the unit is reconnected at the new site. Whether it travels powered down with contents inside depends on the transit window and what is inside it; our ultra-low freezer guide covers where that line falls and when a staged backup ULT or dry ice is the safer call. 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 Sunnyvale?
As of June 2026, Ontrack Moving® relocates biosafety cabinets for Sunnyvale 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.

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 the controlled-access protocols these sites run, and we sequence the move around the windows they give us.
Defense Contractor Facility Protocols
Sunnyvale is home to aerospace and defense R&D operations, and those sites run controlled access. We work with facility security managers on access requirements, vehicle and driver information, scheduling windows and insurance documentation, to whatever protocol the site sets.
EMI-Shielded Lab Awareness
Networking and cybersecurity labs commonly run 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 support your calibration vendor re-establishing traceability afterward.
Temperature Control
Non-regulated samples 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. That keeps particle exposure down while the equipment is out of the room, and your certifier requalifies the space afterward.

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.
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 site access approvals at both locations.

What Sunnyvale Customers Say About Ontrack
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.

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 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 even came the next day to help us.

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 - please give that man a raise and a promotion. 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.
