What sets a Mercury move apart?
Life-science know-how – Teams trained to handle ultra-low-temperature freezers, analytical instruments, and controlled-room-temperature materials.
Single point of contact – A dedicated move coordinator builds the run-sheet, books the right vehicles, and keeps you updated through the Mercury Portal.
Right-sized assets – From climate-controlled sprinter vans to padded-wall straight trucks with liftgates; air-ride trailers for longer hauls.
Chain-of-custody scans – Regular scans at pickup, loading, arrival, and placement give you a verifiable audit trail.
After-hours & weekend options – Minimize production or office downtime by moving outside core business hours.
Typical scope of work
Item type | Our approach |
|---|---|
−80 °C / −20 °C freezers & samples | Pre-cooled Temperature-Controlled Vehicles (TCV) or dry-ice packed passive shippers; calibrated probes ride with each unit. |
2–8 °C refrigerators / CRT reagents | Dedicated reefers or dual-zone vans; temp logged door-to-door. |
Benchtop instruments, microscopes, HPLCs | Custom foam-in-place crates, shock and tilt indicators, e-track strapping. |
IT racks, servers, laptops, documents | Tamper-evident cases, optional cargo-area locks, declared-value cargo insurance. |
Office contents & general freight | Palletized or crated, blanket-wrapped as needed; liftgate service at both ends. |
How the move unfolds
Site survey & plan – We inventory equipment, measure access points, and define temperature requirements.
Prep & pack – Mercury supplies crates, padding, and labels; on-site team helps secure payloads.
Load & transport – Drivers follow a pre-approved route. GPS, door, and temperature data feed the Mercury Portal for live viewing.
Placement & sign-off – Crews deliver to the exact bench, cabinet, or desk; final scans and photos confirm position and condition.
