Retail Fixture Moving in Boston and MetroWest

Get the property manager's move-in rules before booking. A mall or managed center may name a service door, corridor route, floor-protection rule, hours, and truck position, and usually wants a certificate of insurance naming the landlord, which we can issue on request. If the new unit is still being fitted out, confirm the day the general contractor hands over the sales floor.

Teardown order follows the path out. Runs nearest the receiving door come down first, and oversized pieces such as showcase bodies and long base decks get measured against the service door, elevator, and corridor turns. At the new store we unload in the order the plan is built, usually perimeter wall fixtures first, then floor gondolas, then tables and forms, so parts can be staged beside the positions they will fill.

Photos are taken before anything is unfastened: the whole run, each end, shelf spacing, and any unusual bracket. Uprights and base decks get corner guards, slatwall faces are padded so hooks cannot score the grooves, and showcase glass travels on edge in its own padded carton.

Mannequin hands and joints chip if they ride beside metal fixtures, so forms are wrapped and loaded apart from rails and brackets. At the rebuild, every gondola is checked for level and plumb before shelves go on, and shelf heights are set to the plan. Missing or damaged parts found during teardown, such as a bent bracket or a cracked deck, go on a list the same day so your fixture supplier can order replacements before the store opens.
