(Armstrong Scientific Transport), and Meyer, Inc.'s cost guide states the average laboratory move often exceeds $100,000. Those are market figures, not our prices. The Flat Rate Movers quotes every engagement per job at one flat rate in writing, after a full-scope review of the items, the distance, the manpower and the equipment — never by the hour." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What has to happen before a lab move?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Four things, in order: a survey that inventories every unit with its weight and dimensions and measures the route at both ends, with floors on the load path checked against L/360; a schedule built around your equipment vendor's de-installation window; your facility EHS team's decontamination sign-off where it is required — that sign-off is issued by your facility, never by us; and a pack and crate plan for fragile components. Planning is most of the timeline on any lab move, and it is where the move is won." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do you calibrate, certify or recommission equipment after the move?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "No — and that is deliberate. Calibration, certification, commissioning and requalification belong to your manufacturer's technicians and biomedical engineers; it is their license and their sign-off. Our job is the physical layer done to the standard their work needs: surveyed, rigged, crated, transported sealed and documented, and placed and leveled in final position so their recommissioning starts from a recorded, undamaged state." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do you move specimens, chemicals or cryogenic contents?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "No. We move equipment only. Specimens, biological material, chemicals and reagents route to licensed specialist handlers, and cryogenic equipment — dewars, tanks, cryogenic freezers — moves empty, emptied and prepared by your team. Moving cryogenic equipment is not moving cryogenic contents, and we keep that line bright in writing." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Who moves MRI and imaging equipment?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "An imaging move has three layers: your manufacturer's technicians de-install the system, a rigging and transport crew moves it, and the manufacturer's team re-installs and re-calibrates it. We are the middle layer: magnet and gantry-class components are surveyed and planned under SIR with floors checked to L/360, fragile elements are custom-crated, the load runs sealed and documented, and each component is placed in position for the vendor's team. Published market context puts a full MRI relocation project at roughly $60,000 to $100,000 (PatientImage / Maven Imaging)." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do you move ultra-low freezers and cryogenic equipment?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes — as equipment. Ultra-low freezers, sterilizers, autoclaves and cryogenic storage equipment are core classes of this service, emptied and prepared to your vendor's or facility's instruction before our crew handles them. Heavy units are planned under SIR in the 1,500 to 3,500 lb band. We do not claim powered or temperature-controlled transport; if your plan requires temperature management in transit, that element belongs to your facility or its specialist carrier." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Which areas do you serve for medical and lab moves?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Both branches dispatch over their own published footprints — Winchester VA with 32 service areas and Martinsburg WV with 35, 14 of them shared — covering the Shenandoah Valley, the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia and the Interstate 81, 66 and 70 corridors into Northern Virginia: the hospital, imaging, laboratory and university geography of Winchester, Front Royal, Harrisonburg, Martinsburg, Shepherdstown, Hagerstown and the corridor east. One phone number serves both branches: +1-540-422-2153." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can your crew support our vendor or OEM team on site?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes. Under our Specialized Workforce Labor model we deploy trained, supervised, self-managed teams per job to support manufacturer service teams, biomedical departments and general contractors — rigging support during de-installation and re-installation windows, on-site positioning, crate handling and placement work. Your technical lead directs everything technical; our supervision directs everything physical. Crew support is quoted per job under that service's published terms." } } ] } ] }
