Discover how a licensed lab moving company safely unloads, transports, and installs sensitive lab equipment like centrifuges, microscopes, and shakers for biotech facilities in South San Francisco.
Laboratories evolve quickly. Research teams move across campuses, expand into new buildings, and acquire specialized equipment from around the world. When that equipment arrives by sea container, the logistics must be handled with care.
Recently, CG Moving Company managed the unloading, secure transport, unpacking, staging, and installation of a full ocean/sea shipping container shipment containing laboratory instruments. Items included:
Centrifuges, Microscopes, Shakers, Lab benches and accessories, Specialty storage components.
These instruments support critical workflows, and each has
Unique handling requirements.
Before the first box moves, our team prepares:
- Coordinating Building Access
- Supplying a Certificate of Insurance to building management
- Loading dock reservations
- Elevator access and protection
- Security and visitor credentials
- Floor protection
- Pathway safety planning
This prevents disruption to active research environments and protects your timelines.
