Lab Relocation: Emory University → University of Pennsylvania

USA Lab Movers Executes Precision Transport of TMC Optical Tables, 45 Crated Pieces & Full Lab Pack
When Emory University’s optics lab prepared to move to the University of Pennsylvania, they chose USA Lab Movers—trusted nationwide for precision lab moving—to manage every detail. From crating 45 specialized pieces to rigging the largest-size TMC CleanTop optical tables, our expert team orchestrated a safe, efficient, humidity-controlled relocation from start to finish.
Crating & Packing with Care
We custom-crated 45 individual lab components, including microscopes, lasers, computer systems, and research instruments. Each piece was protected with custom padding, sealed for transit, and labeled for quick reassembly. Our packing process follows strict protocols for handling fragile scientific and optical equipment.
Rigging the Heaviest TMC Optical Tables
The highlight of this move was the relocation of TMC’s largest CleanTop optical tables—massive units weighing over 1,000 pounds each. These precision-engineered tables require specialized rigging to avoid any vibration or surface stress.
To ensure safe transport, our team designed and built custom skids specifically for these tables. We used air casters and heavy-duty supports, keeping each table perfectly level and secure during removal, transport, and storage.
Temperature-Controlled Lab Storage
Optical and laser equipment can be extremely sensitive to environmental changes. To protect this lab’s assets, we placed all equipment in temperature- and humidity-controlled storage. This prevents alignment drift in optics, corrosion in metals, and damage to delicate electronic components.
On-Site Management & Problem Solving
Owner Matt Siracusa was on site at Emory to oversee every stage of the project. When the freight elevator broke mid-move, our team quickly adapted—rerouting equipment, staging gear on alternate floors, and maintaining the schedule without compromising safety.
