Records Storage Moving in St. Johns County and Jacksonville

Your team sets a retrieval cutoff. Once requests pause, each shelf group is counted and released. If a client or department needs a carton during the move, your staff pull it first and hold it outside the move path. We schedule the heavy loading for a weekend by arrangement so requests resume on a normal Monday.

Full record cartons are dense and heavy, so we walk both buildings for the things that slow a carton move: elevators with weight limits, long corridors, thresholds, and aisles too narrow for a loaded cart. The new shelving needs to be standing and inspected before the first truck arrives. A shared office building usually wants an insurance certificate before its freight elevator is reserved, and we issue one naming the landlord.

Counts are checked twice: once as a group leaves its old shelf and again as it goes onto the new one. A missing carton, an extra one, or an unreadable label goes back to your records manager before placement rather than onto the nearest open shelf.

Cartons ride upright on the truck and are stacked no higher than their board can bear, with the heaviest groups on the floor. A carton with a split corner or a torn handle comes out of the load for your staff to repack or re-box. Paper and cardboard take on moisture fast in Northeast Florida, and damp records can mildew, so cartons go straight from the building into a closed truck and straight inside at the other end, with no staging on a dock or sidewalk during an afternoon storm.
