How much does a Mountain View laboratory move cost?
Ontrack Moving® quotes Mountain View laboratory moves after reviewing the equipment, packing needs, access at both sites, crew time, distance and move sequence. Ask your equipment and cabinet vendors for separate estimates for any preparation, decontamination, testing or recalibration they need to perform. The written moving estimate identifies the agreed services and how changes, waiting time and additional materials affect charges.
How do you move a -80C ULT freezer in Mountain View?
Ontrack Moving® plans the physical freezer move around the exact model's manufacturer instructions and your laboratory's approved sample plan. Those instructions determine unloading, preparation, transport orientation and restart conditions; a short drive does not establish permission to move a loaded freezer. Your lab arranges sample storage, any required monitoring and release back to use. Confirm the responsible people and the pickup and delivery arrangements before moving day.
How do you move a biosafety cabinet (BSC) in Mountain View?
Ontrack Moving® handles the physical move of a biosafety cabinet after your laboratory's EH&S or biosafety lead and qualified cabinet vendor determine the preparation, any required decontamination and release for handling. Plan the route, equipment dimensions and packing before pickup. The responsible lab team and cabinet vendor determine destination installation, testing and certification before the cabinet returns to use.
Why Mountain View research facilities choose us
Your Research Depends on Precision Handling
Mountain View and the surrounding North Bayshore corridor hold research campuses, semiconductor operations and dozens of robotics labs. Equipment in these facilities represents millions in investment and years of research continuity. A careless move can set a project back months. Our crews transport lab instruments with the precision your research demands.
Federal Research Site Requirements
Federal research sites set their own access requirements, security protocols, vehicle clearance and scheduling windows. We work to whatever the site specifies and confirm it with the facility before move day.
Advanced Robotics Lab Experience
Review the exact instrument models and manufacturer handling instructions during the survey. Agree packing, bracing, transport orientation and any vibration or ESD requirements with your lab and equipment provider. Confirm who supplies specialist materials or services before booking. Your qualified providers handle technical preparation and return-to-use checks; Ontrack handles the agreed physical move.
Semiconductor and Cleanroom Expertise
For cleanroom equipment, review the exact inventory, manufacturer handling instructions and facility entry requirements before agreeing the move. Your lab, facilities team and qualified equipment providers determine preparation, particle and ESD controls, packing and any destination qualification. Confirm who supplies specialist materials or services. Ontrack handles the physical packing, transport and placement accepted in the written scope.

Precision at every step
How We Handle Sensitive Lab Equipment
Anti-Vibration Transport
Review the exact instrument models and manufacturer handling instructions during the survey. Agree packing, bracing, transport orientation and any vibration or ESD requirements with your lab and equipment provider. Confirm who supplies specialist materials or services before booking. Your qualified providers handle technical preparation and return-to-use checks; Ontrack handles the agreed physical move.
Calibration Awareness
Your lab and its calibration vendor identify the pre-move status, handling requirements and checks needed after placement. Agree how reference standards and test fixtures should be packed and grouped, and who supplies any traceability or handoff records.
Cold-Storage Planning
Plan cold-storage equipment and its contents separately. The exact equipment model's manufacturer instructions govern preparation, transport and restart, while your lab's approved sample plan sets storage conditions, monitoring and acceptance checks. Agree who supplies each specialist service and how the equipment pickup and delivery fit that plan. Ontrack handles the agreed physical equipment move; hazardous materials travel under the lab's approved specialist arrangements.
Anti-Static Floor Protection (Masonite)
Choose floor protection with the facility team for the route and floor finish. The facility determines any ESD controls required for the equipment and space; ordinary hardboard floor protection is not an ESD control.
Cleanroom Handling Requirements
For cleanroom equipment, review the exact inventory, manufacturer handling instructions and facility entry requirements before agreeing the move. Your lab, facilities team and qualified equipment providers determine preparation, particle and ESD controls, packing and any destination qualification. Confirm who supplies specialist materials or services. Ontrack handles the physical packing, transport and placement accepted in the written scope.

Moved the laboratory on a Saturday to minimize downtime
I hired Ontrack Moving for a relocation of both an office and lab space in South San Francisco. Because we had two separate "workflows" to move, Ontrack provided a staggered relocation. They delivered materials promptly for us ahead of time, so we could prep accordingly. We moved the laboratory on a Saturday, in order to minimize pause in operations. And we completed the office move the following Tuesday... Super satisfied with the service provided by the South SF team and have already contracted them for additional work.

Quick with the quote and the COI for our office move
We had a great experience with On Track Moving. From the start, they were quick with providing us a quote and COI for our office move. A special thanks to Paul who answered the dozens of questions we had. He's been incredibly diligent and helpful throughout. And Carmina who scheduled the move and parking permits... When we ran into issues with our furniture layout, On Track was quick to solve them, worked beyond their hours, and even came the next day to help us.

Office and warehouse move handled with care
We recently hired Ontrack Moving for our commercial relocation, and I couldn't be happier with their services. From start to finish they were on point. The movers were punctual, well-coordinated, and handled our office and warehouse move with care... Their experience in commercial moving was evident throughout the process. I highly recommend Ontrack Moving for their outstanding service.
