Farm Equipment Dealership Moving in the Sacramento Valley

Dealer yards have their own traffic: lowboys delivering and hauling equipment, growers pulling in with trucks and trailers, and service vehicles leaving for field calls. We agree with your general manager on a loading area clear of the equipment gate and the service bays, and a time when the equipment move is not using the same lane.

Most dealers keep the parts counter open until the last possible day. The usual sequence is overflow and slow stock first, then aisle by aisle, with the counter's most-requested bins last. Service can often keep writing orders from the old building until the shop itself moves.

Summer heat matters here too. Yard work in July and August in the Valley means early starts and a short midday, so large moves are easier after the first rains than in peak heat. Evening and weekend work is possible on request.

Parts stock is dense and oily, and cartons fail from weight rather than rough handling. Small cartons, doubled tape and a low load keep boxes intact. Your staff writes both bin numbers, old and new, big on each carton. Long items such as sickle sections and knife backs should be bundled by your parts staff and tagged, since they will not fit a carton neatly.

Showroom and office furniture is pad-wrapped, and the path through the building is covered where the new floor is finished. Technicians' personal tool chests stay with the technicians unless you arrange for us to move them.

At the new building, shelving goes up in aisle order and stock is staged beside each aisle where your staff checks it in on the parts system. We do not reshelve by guesswork; a carton with a torn label is set aside for your parts team.
