<p class="MsoNormal">I would suggest canvassing moving companies to determine if they have air-ride trucks that will dampen any vibration effects on specimens while moving while also looking for a company that has experience moving natural history or art collections
and the accompanying best practices associated with such a move. If you are going to be moving alcoholic collections you may also need special placarding etc. for the move for dangerous goods regulations. You may want to consult a fire marshal in that case.
If you are going to be moving whole, full cases I would suggest providing the company with tilt limits to ensure that materials does not slide around while being moved from dolly to cart to truck for instance. Materials should ideally be stabilized against
such events within cabinets anyway. Also, don’t just think about the objects but also protect the exterior of cabinets from scraping and bumping (denting) with cushioning material (blankets, etc.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Accommodations for loading may be necessary if you do not have a loading dock – lift winches or palette jacks. Cushioning material for jars or other fragile objects.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just some ideas that come to mind. Hope that helps<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As my institution starts to plan for moving our natural science collections in a few years, does anyone have any guidance or advice for determining a budget for the physical move? Are there specific moving companies or types of movers I
should look into? Non-obvious packing or transport supplies? Something else? Note that things such as construction costs and cabinetry are already accounted for. I’m talking the actual packing and transporting between locations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance! Responses can be sent off-list.<o:p></o:p></p>
