Why Choose Labtain
Our team has years of hands-on expertise handling sensitive biotech and lab equipment. We understand how easily precision instruments can be damaged — and what it takes to keep them safe during transport.
Over time, we’ve earned a reputation for safely moving heavy, high-value devices — from incubators and centrifuges to imaging systems and analytical instruments — without damage. Every shipment is treated as mission-critical.
Labtain uses industry-best packing techniques to safeguard your gear: custom cushioning, secure bracing, and sturdy corrugated boxes that prevent shifting and absorb shock. For larger loads, we design custom crates and pallet systems to keep equipment stable all the way to its destination.
In short, Labtain offers trusted expertise in handling sensitive biotech equipment packing and shipping, backed by our ongoing commitment to quality and safety.
Pacific Northwest Lab Relocation
Labtain can physically assist labs across the Pacific Northwest with packing and relocating equipment to a new location. We don’t just ship boxes — we show up on-site and work alongside your team.
Our specialists visit your lab to develop a custom move plan:
- ✔ Detailed inventory and labeling of instruments and accessories.
- ✔ Safety procedures for decommissioning equipment.
- ✔ Step-by-step packing instructions for each equipment type.
- ✔ Coordination of freight, timing, and access at both locations.
On moving day, our crew uses anti-static wraps, custom crates, and appropriate freight options (including air-ride or climate-controlled trailers when needed) to protect sensitive instruments. Everything is packed and braced so it can be moved by pallet jacks, liftgates, or forklifts without stress on the equipment.
This coordinated approach ensures a smooth, efficient lab relocation with minimal downtime and careful attention to safety. Whether you’re moving across town or across the region, Labtain helps your lab transition with confidence.
Packing Methods for Your Lab Equipment
We customize every shipment for maximum protection. Each item is individually wrapped in premium protective materials — foam, bubble wrap, or anti-static covers — and clearly labeled for safe handling. After wrapping, we choose one of three professional packing methods, selected for the size, weight, and value of your equipment.
1. Double-Wall Corrugated Boxes
For smaller or lightweight items, strong double-wall cardboard boxes provide excellent protection. This method works best for:
- Benchtop instruments and small devices
- Glassware, consumables, and delicate components
- Controllers, monitors, and peripheral accessories
Each item is individually wrapped, cushioned, and packed with dividers or inserts as needed. This prevents movement during transit and keeps every component stable and secure.
2. Custom-Built Crates Pallets
For large, heavy, or high-value equipment, we engineer custom wood crates and pallet systems. Ideal for centrifuges, freezers, refrigerators, ovens, incubators, and analytical instruments. Our crates typically feature:
- Precision interior blocking and high-density foam
- Anchoring points to eliminate tipping or shifting
- Pallet bases for safe forklift and pallet-jack handling
Every crate is built to the exact footprint and specifications of your equipment to ensure maximum protection during transport.
3. Freight Shipping (LTL / FTL)
For oversized, heavy, or multi-unit shipments, we arrange specialized freight through carriers experienced in handling laboratory equipment. Depending on your needs, we can provide:
- LTL (less-than-truckload) for consolidated freight
- FTL (full-truckload) for large or time-sensitive deliveries
- White-glove or liftgate delivery for difficult locations
- Air-ride or climate-controlled trailers for sensitive gear
We match your shipment with the safest and most efficient freight solution so your instruments arrive on time and in excellent condition.
