Lab & Medical Equipment Relocation
Precision moves for hospitals, clinics, research labs, diagnostics, and biotech. From -80°C freezers and biosafety cabinets to analyzers and imaging units—our trained team protects calibration, data integrity, and chain of custody while minimizing downtime.
Why choose Roadrunner for specialized relocations
Protect calibration & data
Shock, vibration, or improper handling can cause costly recalibration and data loss. We use anti-vibration packaging, custom crating, and securement plans.
Climate control when it matters
Temperature-sensitive materials can ride in climate-controlled transport with continuous monitoring (commonly 2–8 °C) and documented chain of custody.
Compliance & safety first
We coordinate required decontamination and follow OSHA, DOT, and EPA rules for hazardous classifications and labeling.
Who we serve
Hospitals & Clinics
Department moves and equipment transfers with minimal disruption to patient care.
University & Research Labs
Protect instruments, samples, and research continuity across campus or across town.
Diagnostics & Imaging
Analyzers, centrifuges, microscopes, benchtop imaging—planned to preserve calibration.
Biotech & Pharma
Secure, documented handling for materials, reagents, and cold-chain needs.
Typical equipment we relocate
- Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs) & fume hoods
- Incubators, cryogenic tanks, -20° to -80°C freezers
- Centrifuges, spectrophotometers, analyzers
- Microscopes & precision balances
- Cleanroom furniture, racks, casework
- Ultrasound, X-ray & other benchtop imaging
- Computers, servers, and data systems
- Sample inventories & cold-chain parcels
- Custom-crated sensitive or oversized devices
- Department contents & admin areas
How our process works
1) Plan & Prepare
Detailed inventory • Roles & timeline • Risk assessment
- Record makes, models, serials, and handling notes.
- Align stakeholders (lab leads, facilities, IT, EH&S).
- Define chain-of-custody and labeling conventions.
2) Pack & Transport
Custom crating • Anti-vibration • Climate-control options
- Specialized materials and secure truck loading.
- Cold-chain monitoring for sensitive contents.
- Clear destination labeling by room/bench.
3) Compliance & Decon
OSHA • DOT • EPA • HAZMAT separation
- Coordinate pre-move decontamination and certifications.
- Proper documentation and placarding where required.
- Secondary containment for regulated materials.
4) Arrival & Recommission
Verification • Re-certification • Downtime mitigation
- Condition checks upon delivery.
- Coordinate calibration and certifications (e.g., BSCs).
- Staggered schedules to bring benches online smoothly.
Pre-move checklist
- Finalize inventory and room-to-room map.
- Back up data from attached PCs/instruments.
- Defrost & dry freezers; secure shelves & doors.
- Drain lines; cap ports where applicable.
- Tag power/network needs at destination.
- Schedule decontamination & retain certificates.
- Pre-label benches, racks, and casework.
- Identify cold-chain items and monitoring method.
- Set sequence for critical-path instruments.
- Confirm building access, elevators, and loading.
