Medical Equipment Movers: Our Process

1. Survey

We begin with a detailed site survey to understand the full scope of the move and identify any potential challenges. Our team visits the site to evaluate the layout, the types of equipment involved, and any special handling requirements. This thorough assessment helps us create a customized moving plan that addresses all the specific needs of your facility.

2. Planning

Following the survey, our team develops a comprehensive plan that includes:

• Custom Crating and Packing Solutions: We design and build custom crates tailored to the dimensions and sensitivities of each piece of equipment. We use anti-static materials and shock-absorbing padding to protect delicate instruments during transport.
• Scheduling: We work closely with hospital or clinic staff to determine the best times for the move, minimizing disruption to daily operations. This may include after-hours or weekend schedules to ensure continuous patient care.
• Coordination with Staff: Our planners coordinate with hospital management, IT departments, and medical personnel to ensure that we cover all logistical aspects, from equipment disassembly to reassembly at the new location.

3. Execution

We execute the plan meticulously:

• Specialized Equipment: We use advanced lifting and transport equipment designed for medical devices, ensuring safe and efficient handling.
• Trained Personnel: Our movers are experts in handling sensitive medical equipment, from MRI machines to lab instruments. They follow strict protocols to ensure the safety and integrity of all items.
• Setup and Testing: Once at the new location, our team can offer unpack services. We can also bring in teams to set up the equipment to ensure it is fully operational. This includes calibrating machines and verifying that all systems are functioning correctly.

Hospital and Clinic Relocations: Case Study 1

Our client, a medical center, required the relocation of their delicate hospital and testing equipment to a new research facility. They needed these items to transport without compromising their calibration and functionality.

Solution: Our process began with a thorough site survey to identify all instruments and their specific requirements. Detailed planning included the creation of custom packing solutions and the use of climate-controlled transport to maintain optimal conditions.

• Detailed Planning: We individually assessed each instrument and determined which items needed a custom crate. We built crates with anti-static materials and cushioning to prevent any damage.
• Climate-Controlled Transport: We transported the instruments in climate-controlled vehicles to maintain the necessary environmental conditions, preserving their integrity. This is important because the move happened in winter.
• Reassembly and Calibration: At the new facility, our team unpacked, reassembled, and recalibrated the instruments, ensuring they were ready for immediate use.

Outcome: We moved this clinic without any loss of functionality, and the new facility was operational immediately after the move. The clinic praised our attention to detail and the smooth transition.

Optimized Medical Specimen Transport: Case Study 2

Our client, a hospital testing lab, needed to transport various medical specimens, including blood samples, tissue samples, and cultures, to different research facilities across the globe. The specimens required specific temperature controls to maintain their integrity during transit.

Solution: We provided comprehensive, climate-controlled transport solutions, tailored to meet the varying needs of the specimens.

1. Cold Chain Shippers. For specimens that can tolerate a wide range of temperature, we can ship the specimens using dry ice shippers. For more stable and specific temperature control, we used coolant-controlled pallets. The pallet shippers were also critical for more long-range shipments, as they hold temperature for longer.
2. Liquid Nitrogen. For specimens that required cryogenic temperatures, we shipped the materials in liquid nitrogen dewars.
3. Plug-in Transport. For domestic shipments, we transported the specimens in fridges/freezers, that were then plugged into our specialized trailer.

Execution: Our team coordinated with the laboratory staff to schedule pickups and deliveries at optimal times. Our trained technicians secured the specimens into the various shipping methods. Our project managers used real-time monitoring to track the shipments around the world.

Outcome: The specimens arrived at their respective destinations in perfect condition, with all temperature requirements maintained throughout the transport process. Our client commended our ability to handle such sensitive materials with precision and care.
