Medical Equipment Moving Success Stories
Each move is unique. Here's how we've tackled complex medical equipment relocations across the country.
MRI Machine Moving3T MRI System Relocation — New Hospital Tower
Regional Medical Center, Houston TX
Challenge
A 750-bed regional hospital needed to move their Siemens Magnetom Vida 3T MRI to a new tower while maintaining clinical operations. The existing suite was on the 3rd floor with no direct freight access.
Solution
We engineered a custom rigging path using temporary structural supports and a specialized MRI sled system. Move was executed on a Saturday night from 10PM to 6AM.
Results
- Zero clinical downtime — scanner operational Monday morning
- Magnet quench successfully avoided
- Full move completed in 8 hours
- OEM accepted installation with no warranty issues
Lab Moving ServicesFull Laboratory Relocation — 18,000 Sq Ft Research Facility
BioGen Research Institute, Boston MA
Challenge
A biotech research institute needed to relocate an active BSL-2 laboratory — including HPLC systems, mass spectrometers, ultracentrifuges, and cryogenic storage — across town with strict chain-of-custody requirements.
Solution
We assembled a 12-person specialized team with BSL-2 decontamination certification. All equipment was documented, decontaminated, and moved in a single 72-hour window over a holiday weekend.
Results
- 18,000 sq ft lab relocated in 72 hours
- Full chain-of-custody maintained for all samples
- Zero equipment damage across 200+ items
- Research resumed within 5 days of move completion
Surgical Robot Shippingda Vinci Xi Surgical Robot — Cross-Country Transport
Specialty Surgery Center, Los Angeles CA
Challenge
A surgery center purchased a pre-owned da Vinci Xi system from a hospital in New York and needed it shipped safely to Los Angeles with full OEM acceptance at the destination.
Solution
Our team coordinated with Intuitive Surgical for the de-installation protocol. The system was custom-crated in 9 individual components and shipped via climate-controlled FTL transport with shock loggers.
Results
- System arrived in perfect condition
- Shock logger showed zero events exceeding 0.5G
- Intuitive Surgical engineer completed acceptance testing
- OR operational within 4 days of delivery
CT Scanner ShippingCT Scanner Upgrade — Coordinated Old-For-New Swap
Imaging Center Group, Chicago IL
Challenge
A 5-site imaging center chain was replacing their GE Revolution CT scanners with Siemens Somatom Force systems at three locations simultaneously. They needed a coordinator to manage removal, shipping, and installation across all three sites on the same weekend.
Solution
We deployed three separate crews with a centralized operations coordinator. Old scanners were removed Friday night, new systems installed Saturday, and all three sites were scanning patients by Monday morning.
Results
- 3 simultaneous site replacements in 48 hours
- Zero revenue-day loss for any location
- Old scanners delivered to equipment broker on schedule
- All sites passed ACR phantom testing by Monday
Medical Equipment MoversHospital Wing Renovation — 60-Piece Equipment Staging
University Health System, Philadelphia PA
Challenge
During a major ICU renovation, a university hospital needed 60+ pieces of patient monitoring equipment, ventilators, and infusion pumps stored offsite and returned in precise sequence as rooms came back online.
Solution
We provided secure climate-controlled warehousing for all equipment, tracked each piece with RFID inventory, and delivered equipment in phased sequences matching the renovation schedule.
Results
- 60+ items stored and staged over 6-month renovation
- 100% inventory accuracy throughout
- Phased delivery aligned with construction milestones
- Zero delays to renovation timeline
PET Scanner ShippingPET/CT Scanner Move — Working Hospital with No Closure
Cancer Treatment Center, Atlanta GA
Challenge
A busy cancer center needed to move their Siemens Biograph mCT PET/CT scanner 200 feet within the facility as part of a nuclear medicine department expansion — without closing the department.
Solution
We built a temporary shielded corridor for the transport path and executed the move in a single 12-hour overnight shift. Radiation safety compliance was maintained throughout with continuous RSO involvement.
Results
- Scanner moved without patient schedule disruption
- Continuous RSO-documented radiation safety compliance
- Moved 200 feet within facility in one overnight shift
- Clinical operations resumed the following morning
