Moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do in life, and moving business premises is no less so. It’s a big event, representing a big investment of time and money and, all too often, it ends up being a big headache, as well.
There are many things to take into consideration, jobs to be done and professionals to be booked. If you’re a first-class planner you can take a lot of the stress out of the process. You’ll need a schedule to make sure nothing is overlooked, and that it all happens on time and with minimum disruption to the business. And you’ll need to let clients and suppliers know what’s happening and when, as they might need to adjust their own plans to accommodate your move. After all, you can’t promise to deliver a big order if you’ve run your stocks down prior to the move and what you do have is packed up or in transit!
Having reliable people to delegate tasks to helps enormously. You might well have overall control of the relocation, but that doesn’t mean you personally have to pack and unpack every single component and tool, and send every notification email.
For businesses with automated storage and retrieval systems there is an additional set of considerations. Your people will be able to empty the unit and pack the contents for transit, but what about the storage unit itself? How do you even begin to think about shuttle storage systems or carousel relocation ?
How to move carousel or shuttle storage systems
When carousels and shuttles are relocated, it’s important that the move is always carried out by a professional. That’s because those machines are made up of thousands of intricate parts and if they are not dismantled with care the result on reassembly can be an unusual-looking, inoperable, or in the worst cases a dangerous carousel or shuttle. People can struggle with flat pack furniture – just think how much more complex a carousel or shuttle can be!
