Laboratory moving in Olympia

Relocating your facility involves far more than moving furniture and boxes. It requires meticulous care, advance preparation, and a team trained to handle delicate instruments, hazardous materials, and scientific equipment. At Western Van and Storage, we provide professional laboratory moving services in Olympia customized to meet the unique demands of scientific, research, and medical environments.

Whether you’re moving a biotech facility, our experienced movers ensure that everything from high-value microscopes to sensitive specimens arrives safely and securely.

 

Reasons to Select Western Van and Storage for Your Olympia Laboratory move?

Laboratory moves must be managed with absolute care and attention to detail. We bring:

  • Specialized Equipment Handling – We move precision instruments, lab benches, fume hoods, freezers, centrifuges, and more with proper equipment and appropriate padding.
  • Compliance and Safety Protocols – Our team follows all OSHA, DOT, and EPA regulations for handling biological materials, chemicals, and temperature-sensitive items.
  • Detailed Pre-Move Planning – We work closely with your lab manager or facilities team to map out the process, from inventory management to scheduling and setup.
  • Climate-Controlled Transportation Options – For samples and specimens that require regulated conditions, we arrange for climate-controlled transport.
  • Minimized Downtime – We work to reduce interruptions so your lab can return to full operations promptly.

Our Laboratory Moving Process

At Western Van and Storage, we follow a methodical approach to make sure your laboratory moving project is a success all the way through:

  1. Initial Consultation and Assessment
    We start by offering an on-site visit or virtual consultation to identify project goals and assess the scope of the move. We identify sensitive equipment, storage conditions, and logistical challenges.
  2. Custom Move Plan
    Our team develops an itemized move strategy that includes labeling, packing protocols, transportation requirements, and lab-specific compliance requirements.
  3. Specialized Packing and Identification
    All equipment and every sample is protected with specialized padding and custom crates. Items are tagged for organized reassembly and reinstallation.
  4. Secure Transport and Tracking
    We provide secure, GPS-tracked transport vehicles built to handle delicate lab contents.
  5. Installation and Reassembly
    Once onsite, we manage reassembly, equipment placement, and on-site collaboration to ensure everything is working as it should.
