Reliable transport solutions for lab equipment, research materials, and academic freight — tailored for biotech institutions across Canada.

Lab Equipment Transport COMPANY

Lab Equipment Transport

We specialize in the movement of microscopes, centrifuges, incubators, analyzers, and other sensitive lab tools. Our team uses vibration-dampening packaging, anti-static wrap, custom crates, and white-glove service to ensure instruments arrive safely and ready for use.
Academic & Laboratory Relocations

Academic
& Laboratory Relocations

Whether relocating a single laboratory or an entire faculty department, we provide full-service academic moves. Our services include inventory tagging, equipment disassembly, secure packing, transport, and reassembly at the destination — ideal for lab expansions, new research facilities, or inter-campus transfers.
Temperature-Controlled Freight
