Records Storage Moving in Boston and MetroWest

Get the index count by aisle and bay, and a destination map that shows where each range will land. Where a range splits or changes, your records lead supplies a crosswalk before labeling. Ask the building engineer or landlord to confirm the new floor can take the load of full records shelving before anything is booked.

Each building sets its loading door, cart route, elevator, and hours. A records room in a Boston office building may depend on a booked freight elevator, while a records center in an I-495 flex building usually has an overhead door but little staging room beside it. Your staff decide when retrievals stop for each range, and a receiving contact checks labels as cartons arrive. We supply a certificate of insurance on request, and evening or weekend work can be planned where the buildings allow it.

Order has to survive the cart and the truck. Move labels go on a readable face, cartons ride in their range groups, and each group stays together from the source shelf to the destination shelf. A carton with an unreadable label goes to one agreed exception spot for your records lead.

Cartons are lifted from the bottom, since old lids and handles give way, and weak cartons go to one side so your team can rebox them. Heavy groups never sit on damaged ones, and full cartons are stacked no higher on the truck than they can bear. Shelving moves empty, with shelves bundled by section and edges padded for doors and elevators. At the new site, the first and last cartons of each range are checked against the crosswalk before the rest are shelved.
