Commercial moving involves the relocation of office equipment, including office furniture – desks, desk chairs, sofas – electronic equipment, photocopiers, printers, scanners, desktop computers, and more. Commercial movers also transport the contents of laboratories and warehouses like machinery, crates, and pallets. Oftentimes, a commercial move will require specialized equipment, transportation, and moving expertise to safely move these items.
Types of Commercial Moves

Office Moves
Whether you need the contents of a law, marketing, or accounting office moved, commercial movers will be knowledgeable in how to get the job done carefully and quickly.
Many offices will have confidential resources that they wish to keep safe. Commercial movers will have the appropriate training and measures in place to ensure that these resources are protected during the move. They will work closely with office managers to create a moving timeline and plan suited to the operational needs of the office.
Warehouse Moves
Oftentimes, warehouse moves will involve transporting numerous crates and pallets, heavy pieces of infrastructure, and equipment like forklifts, dollies, ladders, etc. Any reliable commercial moving company will have the appropriate machinery and trained crews on hand to disassemble, pack, and transport these items.


Laboratory Moves
Laboratory moves will often require a robust timeline to ensure lab technicians can get back to work as soon as possible. Most commercial movers offer overnight services so that labs are reopened within a week, or in some cases, overnight. The movers will also have experience in packing and moving expensive and fragile equipment found in labs. Where specialty services like crating or craning are required, professional commercial movers will have these services on hand.
