Precision Handling for a $2 Million Electron Microscope

When Imlach Group needed a trusted partner to handle the delicate crating and transportation of an advanced JEOL TEM 200 Transmission Electron Microscope, they turned to Precision Packaging & Crating. Our expertise in custom crating for high-value lab equipment ensured safe and efficient transport from Iselin, NJ, to Hillsboro, OR.

Custom Crating & Secure Transport for Lab Equipment

Laboratory equipment like the JEOL TEM 200 requires specialized packaging, stabilization, and handling to prevent damage during transit. For this project, our team:

  • Designed and built custom crates and skids to manufacturer specifications
  • Conducted site visits to align with handling and transport requirements
  • Coordinated with riggers and lift gates for safe loading and unloading
  • Implemented advanced stabilization techniques, including securing the microscope to the truck wall with customized blocking

Exceeding Expectations with Damage-Free Delivery

Transporting a 4,500-pound, ultra-sensitive microscope across the country posed unique challenges. Thanks to our strategic planning and execution, we achieved:

  • Faster-than-expected delivery – Arrived in 6 days (ahead of the 7-14 day estimate)
  • Zero damage – Protective measures ensured flawless arrival
  • Cost-conscious solutions – Balancing safety and budget without compromise

``The Precision team was integral to the success of our project. We were tasked with moving an expensive piece of lab equipment and they took the time to understand the unique requirements needed to safely transport the item. They built custom crates and skids for the pieces and did multiple site visits to ensure our plans were aligned with the manufacturer’s instructions. They also did an outstanding job of keeping our client’s budgetary concerns in mind. Working with Precision Crating was a seamless experience, and we will continue to use them on all highly specialized projects going forward.`` — Haley Imlach, Imlach Movers

FAQs

Why is custom crating and packaging necessary for lab equipment?

Lab equipment is highly sensitive and often fragile. Custom crating provides shock absorption, vibration protection, and secure stabilization, reducing the risk of damage during transport.

How far in advance should I schedule crating services?

For large or complex moves, we recommend scheduling at least 2-4 weeks in advance. This allows time for planning, site visits, and custom crate fabrication.

Do you work directly with movers, or can clients hire you independently?

We partner with moving companies that need specialized crating solutions for high-value shipments, as well as businesses handling their own logistics. Either way, we ensure seamless coordination.
