GMI’s relocation specialists pack, label and transport laboratory equipment of every size and complexity — from benchtop centrifuges to full analytical suites — with the industry’s highest standards of care, backed by decades of hands-on expertise.
Every move is planned in advance with your team to define scope, routes, and safety protocols before anything is packed. A GMI project manager oversees the process from planning through execution and is on-site for the move, alongside a service engineer for equipment handling.
And more — if it’s in your lab, we can move it.
GMI relocation teams operate out of three regional hubs and travel nationwide for lab and facility moves of any size.
Yes — we source dry ice, cold packs, and refrigerated or frozen transport as needed, and coordinate timing so temperature-sensitive materials spend minimal time in transit.
No — GMI relocation teams travel nationwide from our Minneapolis, San Diego, and Boston hubs, including multi-site and long-distance moves.
Most lab relocations are booked 4–8 weeks out, though we can accommodate shorter timelines. Larger or multi-department moves benefit from more lead time for site assessment and permitting.
Yes — our crews are trained on chain-of-custody requirements and handling protocols common in pharma, biotech, and academic labs, including biosafety cabinet and regulated-material moves.
We can help retire, sell, or recycle instruments you’re leaving behind — including trade-in and buyback options through GMI, so your old site is fully cleared without a separate vendor.
Yes — all relocations are covered under GMI’s insurance, and major assets are documented and verified before and after transport as part of our chain-of-custody process.
Both — a GMI service engineer handles reinstallation to manufacturer spec, and we coordinate OEM or third-party recalibration so equipment is validated before your team is back up and running.
Yes — moves can be scheduled after hours, on weekends, or in phases so critical instruments stay in service as long as possible before transport.
Yes — we handle single-instrument moves as well as full lab relocations, using the same chain-of-custody handling and reinstallation process regardless of scope.
