How Does It Work: Populated Rack Moves

We specialise in moving live, fully populated cabinets safely and efficiently. Before any rack is moved, we complete a route and clearance survey, confirm lift capacities and floor loadings, plan turns and gradients, and produce a concise move runbook with risks, mitigations, and approvals.

Racks MUST be “rated” for populated moves so please ensure you check in advance as your dedicated project manager will need to know!

On the day, each rack is braced and protected (front X-straps, foam door blocks, corner guards, internal brace shelves and rack covers), fitted to paired rack-moving dollies or castor skates. Assets travel under tamper-sealed chain-of-custody with GPS tracking. At destination we re-site, level, and validate airflow, power, and service status before handover.

1

ROUTE SURVEY

ROUTE SURVEY

Measure doors, corridors, lifts, ramps, turns, and gradients; verify floor loadings and lift ratings; map obstacles and protection points; publish the move path with timings and holds.

2

PROTECT THE RACKS

BRACE & PROTECT THE RACKS

Fit front X-bracing, foam door blocks, corner guards, and rack covers; latch/lock doors; secure internal cabling and peripherals; cap/retain A/B power cords.

3

HANDLING EQUIPMENT

DOLLIES, SKATES & HANDLING KIT

Attach paired rack-moving dollies (side clamps, toe-plates, grab handles) or corner skates; deploy ramps, track-mats, and edge protectors; assign banksmen and spotters.

4

TRACKED TRANSIT

LOAD & GPS-TRACKED TRANSIT

Load using the lift plan; strap to vehicle rails, pad and block; apply tamper-evident seals and manifest stickers; track by GPS with live ETA and custody updates.

5

RE-INSTALLATION

RE-SITE LEVEL & VALIDATION

Position and level; remove bracing; reconnect A/B power as planned; check door swing and aisle spacing; verify airflow and basic service status; capture photos and sign-off.

Want to find out more?

Our engineers bring the full move kit—paired rack dollies, skates, ramps, track-mats, pads, straps, corner guards, covers, and calibrated shock/tilt indicators—plus a clear runbook with route controls, roles, and comms.

Every move is insured and logged with tamper seals, manifests, and GPS tracking. At destination we re-site, level, and validate, then provide a photo record and acceptance report so the rack is back in service with confidence.
