Why Plan your Relocation?
Planning the relocation of a storage system, whether mobile or fixed, involves many elements to check.
Relocating a storage system is a daunting task! You must ensure all necessary elements are checked before the transition begins.
It is necessary to identify the type of storage to be moved, whether mobile or fixed, and plan for the necessary elements for the transition.
We assist our clients at every step to make planning major relocations as simple as possible!
Our team will handle five essential elements when relocating a storage system. We guarantee not only the smooth progress of your relocation but also the proper functioning of your storage system! 🤩
Here are five that we take care of for you.
1. Slab Assessment for Your Large Industrial Shelving (metal, wood, plastic, or other materials)
In the case of mobile storage systems, it is crucial to have a slab assessment performed by an engineering or architectural firm.
A slab assessment is a weight calculation. Our facilities director communicates the system’s weight to the engineers to ensure that the slab or foundation can support it.
If the slab cannot support it, supports must be added, with the assistance of the engineering firm.
Prevent your building from collapsing under the weight of your new storage system, and have a slab assessment performed! 😉
2. Coordinate All Stakeholders for the Installation of Large Commercial Storage Units
In new construction or renovation, several stakeholders participate in the project: contractors, floor installers, movers, etc.
Good coordination among them is essential to ensure a harmonious relocation. This coordination often requires specialized expertise in various construction fields.
That is why we support you from the very beginning and take over once contacts are established to deal directly with the stakeholders.
For example, for a mobile system, a subfloor must be installed, then covered!
To accomplish this, our team coordinates with your contractor for the installation of the rails and subfloor, then the contractor confirms the covering date with us. We can then finalize the installation of your system. 😇
3. Adapt to New Premises for Your Storage Shelving
As each space is unique, your system frequently needs to be adjusted to fit your new location.
Our advisors are here to help you find the best option to meet your needs. 🤝🚚
We plan delivery times, and our facilities director coordinates everything for a stress-free installation. 🙌
With our support, you are assured of a first-class system perfectly adapted to your environment.
4. Confirm Access
As explained in our article, a preliminary visit is conducted during the submission process, then before installation by our team.
During this visit, we specifically check building access: use of elevators and docks, permitted hours for noisy work, door openings, stairways, etc. 🏢
These checks are often performed with the building superintendent, who knows the location and current regulations inside out.
Although these may seem like minor details, this is the kind of information that, if known in advance, will save you many surprises on the day of the move and at the time of invoicing.
5. File Transfer
Not only do we handle your relocation, we also offer file transfer services. This turnkey service involves removing files, boxes, or other contents from your storage space, then dismantling the system, relocating it, reinstalling it, and finally, putting your inventory back in place.
For smaller inventories, we can store the contents of your shelves at our Laval facility. For larger inventories, we entrust storage to a specialized company and handle everything from A to Z.
Ultimately, managing content that needs to be moved from one storage system to another or from one location to another is not as simple as one might initially think. Do files need to be accessible at all times?
Can the inventory be stored for a certain period? Do archives require updating or repositioning, or can they be replaced as is? The answers to these questions could highlight needs you might not have considered initially.
