Commercial Moves Made Hassle Free With San Leandro Moving Company

By Julio Riess


A business that is planning to relocate will find a San Leandro Moving Company that is competent and affordable. Two or more vans may be needed depending on the size of the company. For those businesses requiring temporary storage, everything is placed in large shipping containers.

All furniture and equipment will be carefully wrapped and packed in a way that keeps it protected from damage. Boxes are marked for identification purposes. Professional packing is required to satisfy the insurers.

Polished wooden furniture is wrapped in quilted blankets to avoid rubbing against anything. Delicate items will be put in rigid boxes of cardboard or wood. Soft items, such as draperies, are put into bags or lightweight boxes.

If a heavy or oddly shaped item is being shipped, it is packed in a customized crate. The interior of the truck is specially equipped. There are wooden bars attached to walls on the inside to which heavy items can be secured.

The way a truck is loaded conserves as much space as possible. Small or thin items are placed between large items to use all available space. Handling an unusual item, such as a piano, requires the use of trolleys.

Removing items from older buildings presents a challenge. Sometimes a wall must be opened up to facilitate removal of a large piece of equipment. Everything is measured to see how large an opening is needed.

A moving company representative will visit the commercial site to consult with the business owner. After surveying the size of the move, he will give an estimate of cost. Estimates are usually requested from more than one mover.

Some items will be selected that are not to be moved. They will be discarded or donated. Measurement of the items that are to be moved will be measured to determine how much truck space is needed. All items being moved to the new location are recorded on a list. This will be used to check that all items are delivered to the new site.
