When a scientist of Dr. Devoret’s caliber moves his laboratory, it requires more than just trucks and manpower. It demands expertise, precision, and deep respect for the sensitive equipment at the heart of his research.


Our team successfully handled:


  • Oxford Fridge Systems – state-of-the-art cryogenic refrigeration units critical for quantum physics research.

  • Custom Crating of Electronics – each component was engineered into tailor-fit crates for maximum protection during transport.

  • Sensitive Equipment Handling – white-glove pickup, secure transport, and precise delivery at UC Santa Barbara.


Every step of the move was meticulously planned to ensure that this critical research infrastructure arrived safely and on schedule.
