Specifics of Moving Medical and Lab Equipment


Moving medical and lab equipment needs specialized skills, specific delivery techniques and resources to ensure that the delicate devices reach their location in the same condition in which it left its current location. A lot of planning, patience and skill is required to move labs and medical equipment. Before moving it is a good practice to work out each detail. Contamination and vibration are the two issues we need to take care of.

Lab and Medical Equipment Move Challenges

  • Moving all heavy equipment simultaneously
  • Relocating fragile table top electronics, such as robots and electron microscopes
  • Massive and heavy bio and fume hoods
  • Miniature and delicate glassware
  • Keeping in mind the value of specimens

Budget your Move Rightly

Moving medical equipment can be an expensive affair. The movement of pricey, delicate and demanding lab equipment can prove quite challenging financially. Some special conditions have to be maintained during the relocation, a lot of moving tools are required, and excellent professional manpower from special movers. All this comes at a price.

Factors to be considered while moving Lab and Medical Equipment

  • Cost of moving equipment which depends on volume of the stuff moved
  • Timing which is based on the nature of the equipment
  • Calculate the manpower cost and cost per man which may depend on shape and size of the equipment. Stairs, narrow doorways and other such obstacles may add to the moving cost.
