Laboratory relocation with ZBV Fels - care that makes the difference
A laboratory move requires special care and expertise, as sensitive and valuable laboratory equipment is transported alongside furniture. ZBV Fels specializes in such special removals and ensures that research operations can continue without major interruption thanks to its experienced specialists, high safety standards and individual planning.
A successful laboratory move does not start with packing, but with detailed planning. Every laboratory is different – just like the equipment, the devices, the infrastructure and the sensitive materials being worked with. That’s why we at ZBV Fels attach great importance to intensive consultation in advance.
Together with you, we analyze the current state of your laboratory, plan the relocation logistics in close coordination with all parties involved and develop a clear schedule that takes into account both your internal processes and the safety-related transport requirements for your sensitive relocation goods. From dismantling and transportation to joint recommissioning – we accompany you every step of the way.
Why ZBV Fels is the right partner for your laboratory relocation
Careful planning and design
A successful laboratory relocation begins with well thought-out planning. We work with you to create a tailor-made relocation concept that takes all logistical, technical and organizational details into account. In this way, we ensure that every step is optimally coordinated and that the move runs smoothly.
Professional disassembly and safe packaging
Whether sensitive laboratory equipment, furniture or materials – we take care of the complete dismantling and ensure safe packaging tailored to the item in question. We rely on special packaging solutions that offer maximum protection for your valuable equipment.
Specialized transport for maximum safety
We use specially equipped vehicles and experienced drivers to transport your laboratory equipment and facilities. This ensures that even sensitive or bulky equipment arrives safely and undamaged at its new location.
Professional reconstruction and commissioning
At the destination, we take care of the complete reassembly of your laboratory equipment. Our specialists will take care of the assembly and, if required, the commissioning of your machines and equipment. This means you can quickly get back to regular operations.
Support with official and internal coordination
A laboratory relocation is often associated with approvals or internal coordination. We support you in coordinating with the authorities or your internal quality assurance department to ensure that all requirements are met and deadlines are adhered to.
Seamless documentation for your quality assurance
For your records and to comply with internal or legal requirements, we can create comprehensive relocation documentation on request. This gives you a complete overview of all the measures carried out at all times and allows you to track the entire process.
Machines, furniture, measuring devices - everything safely at its destination
Whether sensitive centrifuges, fume cupboards, refrigeration units or entire workstations – we treat every item with the respect it deserves. For particularly delicate or large appliances, we rely on special lifting techniques, air-fed vehicles or heavy-duty transport solutions.
Thanks to our experience with machine relocations, we have the necessary technical know-how to be able to react flexibly to complex requirements. We never lose sight of the big picture: In the end, everything has to fit – from the door width to the floor load to the room height.
Discretion and security - a matter of course for us
Access for authorized employees only
When transporting sensitive laboratory equipment or confidential materials, access is restricted to a select group of people. Only specially trained and previously instructed employees who have been authorized for the respective move may come into contact with your removal goods. This ensures that no unauthorized persons gain access to your equipment, samples or confidential documents. Our teams are aware of their responsibility and act with the utmost care and discretion at all times.
Securely sealed transport containers
To protect your sensitive materials, we rely exclusively on special, securely lockable transport containers. Depending on the requirements, padded, shockproof or even temperature-controlled containers are used. All containers remain securely locked until they arrive at their destination and are only opened by authorized personnel. This ensures that no unwanted access or damage is possible during transportation.
No disclosure of information
Confidentiality is a matter of course for us. All information about your laboratory relocation, transport routes, schedules or the content of the transports will only be passed on internally and only to the people directly involved. Our employees are sworn to secrecy and receive a specific briefing on your company’s applicable data protection and security regulations before each assignment.
On request: transportation escort or camera documentation
If you want maximum transparency and control, we can offer you additional security services: These include, for example, personal accompaniment of the transport by one of your employees or by specially trained security personnel. Alternatively, we can document the entire transport route seamlessly by camera. This gives you an overview of the whereabouts of your sensitive materials at all times – from collection to arrival at their destination.

FAQs
What do I need to consider when planning a laboratory move?
Planning a laboratory move requires a detailed analysis of the existing infrastructure, machinery and equipment. It is important to organize the move in such a way that the sensitive equipment is packed and transported safely. At ZBV Fels, we start with an inventory and coordinate all steps with you. We plan the move in phases, pay attention to legal regulations, such as the safe transportation of chemicals, and ensure that your laboratory is up and running again as quickly as possible.
How long does a laboratory move take?
The duration of a lab move depends on several factors, including the size of the lab, the type of equipment and the complexity of the move. A smaller laboratory can be moved in a few days, while larger facilities can take several weeks. We will work with you to develop a detailed timeline to ensure the move is as quick and efficient as possible without compromising safety and quality of work.
What does a laboratory move cost?
The cost of a laboratory move varies depending on the scope and complexity of the move. Factors such as the number of machines, the amount of transportation required, the necessary packing materials and the assembly requirements all influence the price. At ZBV Fels, we offer customized quotes that are tailored precisely to your needs and requirements. After an initial inspection, we prepare a transparent, fair offer that covers all cost points.
How is sensitive equipment protected during the laboratory move?
Sensitive devices, such as centrifuges, microscopes or measuring instruments, require special protection. We use special packaging material that is shockproof and insulating to prevent damage, and of course we comply with the packaging specifications of the relevant equipment manufacturers. We also rely on experienced specialists who are familiar with the handling of such equipment.
