Planning to move a storage system, such as wire shelving, cabinets or more, whether mobile or stationary, is a long list of things to check off.

Moving a storage system is a daunting task! You need to make sure you check all the necessary items before the transition begins.

It must be determined what type of storage is to be moved, whether it is mobile or fixed, and whether additional components are needed for the transition.

That's why we're here to help our clients every step of the way, to make planning those big moves as easy as possible!

Our team will take care of five essential elements when moving a storage system. Not only will we ensure that your move goes smoothly, but we will also ensure that your storage system works properly! 🤩

Here are 5 of them that we take care of for you.

1. Expertise of slabs for your large industrial shelves (in metal, wood, plastic or other materials)

In the case of mobile storage systems, it is essential to have the slabs assessed by an engineering or architectural firm.

A slab survey is a weight calculation. Our facilities manager provides the selected firm with the total weight of the planned system once in place, so that the engineers and architects can ensure that the slab, or foundation, can support it.

If it can't handle it, then it needs to be reinforced with additional supports, a project the engineering firm can guide you through.

Keep your building from collapsing under the weight of your new storage system, and get a slab survey done 😉

2. Coordinate all parties involved in the installation of the large commercial storage units

For a new construction or a renovation, many people are involved in the project: contractors, roofers, movers, etc.

Good coordination between each of them is essential to ensure a smooth move. This coordination often requires specialized expertise in various fields of construction.

This is why we accompany you from the first steps, and take over once the contacts are established to deal directly with the stakeholders.

For example, for a system mobilea subfloor must be installed and then covered!

Our team coordinates the installation of the rails and the false floor with your contractor, who then validates the date of the covering with us. We can then finalize the installation of your system. 😇

3. Adjusting to new space for your storage systems

Since it is rare that all rooms are identical, your system may need to be adjusted or modified to fit your new space.

Depending on the case, you will have to increase or decrease your system, and plan your delivery times accordingly.

Our consultants are available at all times to answer your questions and suggest the best option to meet your needs, and our installation manager will coordinate delivery and installation.

With the support of our consultants and installation manager, you can be assured of a first-class system that works in perfect harmony with your desired environment.

4. Confirm accesses

As described in our article From ideation to installation: how does it happen?A preliminary visit is conducted by your consultant at the time of bidding and then in preparation for installation by our facilities manager or your consultant.

During this visit, we check in particular the access to the building: use of elevators and docks, hours allowed for noisy work, opening of doors, stairs, etc.

These checks are often done with the building's custodian, who knows the place and the rules like the back of his hand.

Although it may seem like a lot of detail, this is the kind of information that, if known in advance, will save you from many surprises on the day and at the time of billing.

5. Transfer of files

Not only do we take care of your move, we also offer file transfer. This turnkey service consists of removing files, boxes or other contents from your storage space, then dismantling the system, moving it, reinstalling it, and putting your inventory back in place.

For smaller inventories, we can store the contents of your shelves on our premises in Laval. For larger inventories, we entrust the storage to a specialized company and take care of everything from A to Z.

Finally, managing content that needs to be moved from one storage system to another or from one room to another is not as simple as one might think at first. Do files need to be accessible at all times?

Can the inventory be stored for a period of time? Does the archive need updating or repositioning, or can it be put back as is? The answers to these questions may reveal needs you may not have thought of at first.
