Specialized Solutions for Research Facilities

From navigating the dense urban environment to managing complex research equipment, laboratory moves in NYC demand meticulous planning and execution. At Laboratory Movers, we’ve developed comprehensive solutions specifically for laboratory moves in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and throughout the greater New York area.

The Unique Challenges of NYC Laboratory Relocations

New York City’s status as a leading biomedical research hub means laboratories often contain millions of dollars of sensitive equipment requiring specialized handling:

  • Urban Logistics: Navigating NYC’s congested streets, strict building access protocols, and limited freight elevator availability
  • Specialized Facilities: Managing relocations for diverse research environments from Columbia University’s medical campus to the Alexandria Center for Life Science
  • Regulatory Complexity: Maintaining compliance with NYC’s specific requirements for transporting hazardous materials and controlled substances
  • Minimal Disruption: Coordinating moves around ongoing research projects with critical timeline requirements

Our experience relocating laboratories has equipped us with the expertise to manage these challenges effectively.
