Relocation Strategies executes large scale warehouse relocation plans throughout the country. Through over 20 years of experience in the field, we understand the ins and outs of project management, coordination, and execution. Above all else, we understand that most companies cannot afford to shut their business down during the time it takes to execute a transition.
By identifying which elements companies can handle themselves ahead of the move, and by arranging accommodations for the rest of the equipment being moved, move management teams can help your company experience a seamless and cost-effective warehouse relocation.
Scope of a Warehouse Relocation
Sourcing and installing pallet racking and managing multiple vendors for the relocation of office and warehouse contents can be complicated. Most companies don’t even completely understand the scope of these projects until they’ve begun managing it themselves. From equipment rigging, inventory, and light shelving and parts, you may want to elect to hire a project manager to assist in the process.
To give you an idea of the different moving parts in a warehouse relocation project, here are some of the components we’re used to seeing in typical large-scale transitions:
- Risk assessment
- Project schedule and coordination
- Vendor selection and management
- New pallet racking
- Interim moves
- On-site project management
- Move management
- Riggings
- Inventory transfer
Cost of Lost Production During Industrial Moves
Warehouse relocations are complicated, time consuming, and if handled incorrectly, can be detrimental to your business. Much like any other business move, you run the risk of losing production time or experience setbacks in efficiency.
By hiring help from a project manager, you can institute a phased relocation plan of equipment and inventory. This will ensure that your team can maintain continuous production in both areas throughout the move.
Sensitive Equipment & Materials
Move management teams like Relocation Strategies understand the sensitivity of the equipment being moved during these projects. You will need to organize and take inventory of the items and pieces of equipment that are fragile and add them to a project plan to ensure those essential items are at your new location as soon as possible. This way, your team will have minimal downtime in production and minimal loss in earnings.

If you’re grappling with an upcoming warehouse move, you don’t have to worry about tackling it solo. Working with relocation experts can completely eliminate any unexpected downtime or loss of revenue and make the moving experience a breeze.
Working with a company like Relocation Strategies means more than surviving your move – it means building a stronger, more effective operation in your new location.
