Industrial capabilities
Warehouse Moving Capabilities
Warehouse relocations require specialized equipment, trained crews, and careful coordination. We handle everything from pallet racking systems to heavy machinery, with inventory tracking protocols that keep your operations organized throughout the move.
Pallet Racking Disassembly & Reassembly
Our crews systematically disassemble pallet racking systems, labeling each upright, beam, and cross-brace for efficient reassembly. We inspect components during disassembly to identify damaged sections before reinstallation at your new facility. Racking layout drawings ensure proper configuration at the destination.
Inventory Management
We coordinate with your operations team to implement tracking protocols during the move. Each pallet section or SKU receives identification labels that match your inventory system. Load manifests document what goes on each truck, and we coordinate unloading to match your new warehouse layout plan.
Heavy Machinery Moving
Industrial equipment requires weight-rated transport and proper rigging. We move packaging machines, conveyor systems, industrial presses, and manufacturing equipment using air-ride trucks and specialized dollies. For items exceeding 10,000 lbs, we coordinate crane or rigging services.
Dock-to-Dock Logistics
Coordinated loading and unloading at both facilities maximizes efficiency. We work with your dock schedules, coordinate truck staging, and manage traffic flow to keep multiple trucks moving efficiently. Dock plates and levelers ensure smooth transitions between truck beds and warehouse floors.
Minimal Downtime Planning
Every warehouse relocation is different. We develop phased move plans based on your operational priorities, typically moving in stages to keep critical inventory accessible. Our approach includes:
- Pre-move site survey and layout planning
- Phased move schedule by inventory priority
- Weekend and after-hours execution options
- Multiple crew deployment for compressed timelines
- Coordination with your receiving operations
- Post-move layout verification

Worth every penny! Detailed oriented, kind, strong, gentle with my furniture, what a perfect moving team!
