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.
The furnishings and equipment is protected with careful wrapping. For insurance purposes, the boxes and furniture must be packed by professionals. Each box is marked to identify what is inside.
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.
Older buildings present specific challenges. Some of the doors and windows are too narrow to allow large items to fit through them. The men will take measurements beforehand to plan what to do about the problem.
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.
In some cases, there are items that will not be moved. They may be donated to a charity or discarded. The items scheduled to be moved are placed on a list. The list can later be used to confirm that all items have been delivered.
