Industrial Moving for Racking, Equipment, and Warehouses
We take down and install pallet racking, move shop and lab equipment with forklift or telehandler support, and relocate warehouses across the Bay Area. Send us the weight, dimensions, and photos, and we will let you know whether we can take on the job.
Information We Need for Your Quote
We quote every industrial job as a project. The price depends on the equipment, its weight, and the route out of the building. Each job type below lists the information we need. A project manager will review it and send a written quote, or let you know if the job requires a rigging specialist.

Pallet Racking
We take down racking at one site and install it at the next, with forklift or telehandler support on site.
Information to Send
- The number of bays, the upright height, and the beam levels in each bay
- Photos of every rack run, end to end
- Whether wire decking and pallet supports move with the racks
- The floor plan where the racks go back up
- Dock doors or grade-level doors at both sites
Equipment Moves
We move shop, lab, fitness, and facility equipment with forklift or telehandler and flatbed support, and block and brace each piece for transport.
Information to Send
- Make and model of each piece, if you have them
- Weight and dimensions, from the nameplate or the manual
- Photos of each piece and the route out: doors, halls, ramps, elevators
- Anything hard-wired or plumbed in
- Any pieces that are sensitive to vibration, so we can monitor them in transit
Warehouse Relocations
We move pallets, racking, and equipment from one warehouse to another. If the new space is not ready, we can hold everything in our climate-controlled San Jose warehouse, which has 24/7 security monitoring.
Information to Send
- Both addresses, and the dock doors at each
- A pallet count, plus the racking and equipment details above
- Your move-out date at the old site and move-in date at the new one
- Whether anything waits in storage between the two
- Any certificate of insurance requirements from your building
Send the details through our quote form and email the photos to our office. If you do not have every measurement, send what you have.
If you are clearing out a facility rather than relocating it, see our facility decommissioning page. On one school-district facilities yard cleanout, we hauled 4,000+ lbs of material in 7 hours with a 35-ft forklift and two flatbed trucks.

Customer Reviews
“Got a quote for a last minute move. Had some exercise equipment moved from Stockton to San Jose. They were super responsive. The move went great. No issues at all. Timely and organized. The two people that moved the equipment were fantastic. Would recommend to my friends and will definitely use again for future local moving needs.”

“We contracted with Silicon Valley Moving to move our company to our new headquarters. They initially sent a representative out before the move started, to give us a quote. A couple days later, several trucks as well as the crew promptly transferred all items from the office into the trucks. A portion of our office goods went to their storage, and the rest was hauled to our new headquarters. At destination, the crew offloaded all of our office goods and electronics, set up the monitors, and cubicles. Thank you everyone at Silicon Valley Moving & Storage for making this large move stress free. We will be using you again in the future.”

Frequently Asked Questions
ShowHide
What is the heaviest piece of equipment you can move?
We do not publish a weight limit, because it depends on the piece and the route out of your building. Send us the weight, dimensions, and a few photos, and we will let you know whether we can move it.
Do you take down and install pallet racking?
Yes. We take down racking, move it, and install it at the new site, with forklift or telehandler support. To quote the job, we need the number of bays, the upright height, the beam levels, and photos of each rack run.
How do you protect equipment during transport?
We block and brace equipment so it cannot shift. We use vibration monitoring on sensitive pieces, and our bobtail and larger trucks have air-ride suspension.
Can you store equipment or inventory between sites?
Yes. We can move warehouse contents into our climate-controlled San Jose warehouse, which has 24/7 security monitoring, and deliver them to the new site when it is ready.
What insurance documentation can you provide?
We carry general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We can issue a certificate of insurance naming your company or building as additional insured. Let us know your facility's requirements, and we will provide the certificate before the crew arrives.
Do you handle crane lifts, rigging, or production-line moves?
No. Crane lifts, heavy rigging, and production-line reinstallation require a rigging specialist. If your move includes a piece like that, let us know, and we will tell you which parts of the job our crew can handle.
