Records Storage Moving in Colorado Springs

Records rooms are heavy work in a small footprint. Full record cartons add up to a lot of weight per shelf, so we check the floor path, the elevator's capacity if the room is upstairs, and the dock or door at both sites. Your building contact confirms floor loading at the new site before the shelving goes in, especially on an upper floor.

Your operations lead sets the pause on retrievals and intake, section by section, so clients or departments lose access to as little as possible. Tell requesters which ranges are in transit. The new shelving has to be installed, labeled, and checked before cartons arrive, whether your installer sets it or we rebuild freestanding units. If the landlord needs our insurance certificate before dock time, send us the names. Evening or weekend days can suit a records move when your staff are free to check sections in.

The biggest risk is not damage but a carton on the wrong shelf. So each section's cartons stay together from shelf to truck to shelf, strapped as a group and separated from the next section with a visible divider. Cartons are never opened, sorted, or repacked by our crew. If a box has a failing lid, a crushed corner, or water damage, we set it aside for your staff, who decide whether to rebox it and how to record the change.

Cartons are lifted, not dragged, and carried on four-wheel dollies or hand trucks in stacks low enough to stay stable. At the new site, sections go onto their shelves in order, with barcodes facing out if your system needs them visible. Your team scans or counts each section before reopening it for retrievals.
