Ensuring the safe transport of highly sensitive lab equipment requires meticulous planning, specialized skills, and a high degree of accuracy. Precision Packaging and Crating recently took on such a challenge for A-1 Moving & Storage, a commercial mover tasked with transporting vital genomic medicine development tools from a lab in Florida to MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The equipment, manufactured by Precision NanoSystems, is crucial for developing genomic medicines including mRNA vaccines and therapeutics. This case study highlights our approach to handling and custom crating lab equipment, ensuring safe, on-time delivery.
Custom Crating for Lab Equipment Transportation
Custom Crating for Lab Equipment Transportation
Medical + Pharmaceutical, Technology
Specialized Handling and Protection
Given the biohazardous nature of the equipment, our team donned specialized Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) to mitigate any contamination risks during the crating process.
Detailed Engineering and Prep
To ensure the utmost protection, we custom-fabricated foam inserts that fit snugly around each piece of equipment. This eliminates movement within the crate, safeguarding the lab equipment from potential damage during transport and handling. Our team also carefully secured all tubing and cords attached to the machines to ensure they remained intact.
Coordinated Efforts and Tight Deadlines
The project culminated in a successful crating, with A-1 Moving able to transport the equipment safely with an air ride vehicle and on time. Our approach and attention to detail ensured the equipment was delivered to MIT in pristine condition.

FAQs
Why is it important to have an expert pack laboratory equipment?
While air ride trucking reduces vibrations, custom crating and precise interior foam fabrication provide essential protection. Specialized inserts absorb even the smallest vibrations, preventing damage to delicate instruments during transport.
What is considered biohazardous equipment?
Biohazardous equipment includes any lab apparatus or instruments used in processes involving biological agents, such as bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms, which could pose a health risk.
What is air ride suspension?
Air ride suspension is a vehicle suspension powered by an electric or engine-driven air pump or compressor. This system provides a smoother ride by reducing vibrations, making it ideal for transporting sensitive equipment safely over long distances.
