How we plan warehouse & ag moves

Much of the commercial space along Highway 99 and I-5 is built for work rather than meetings: distribution buildings with truck courts, processing plants with an office wing tacked on, packing sheds with a scale house and a break room, fabrication shops with a tool crib and a yard full of material. Here the units of measure are pallets, bins and dock doors, and the plan looks nothing like a suite move.

For much of the Valley, the crop decides the date. An almond huller in Butte County, a walnut dryer near Gridley, a rice mill outside Colusa or a peach shed in Yuba City cannot lose its office or break room while trucks are lined up at the gate. We ask when your season peaks and aim for the quiet weeks after the last load ships or before the next crop starts. Warehouses with a heavy shipping quarter get the same treatment.

We plan from one dock to the other. That means counting doors at both buildings, noting which are dock-high and which are grade-level, finding where a trailer can wait, and learning when receiving is staffed. Trailers are built zone by zone, which means the pallets the new floor needs earliest come off first. Hand-assembled shelving and every bin are tagged by aisle and slot before teardown, and boxed stock rides in bin sequence so pickers can start again from a known map.

Production machinery belongs to a different trade. Presses, conveyors, sorting and processing lines, slab-anchored machines and equipment on its own power drop go with the dealer or a specialist equipment contractor, and floor-anchored racking is dismantled and reset by its installer. Our crew moves the offices, scale house, break room, hand-assembled shelving, workbenches, tool chests and boxed or palletized goods, and we coordinate with that contractor so each crew gets the floor when it needs it. Valley summer heat shapes the day too, so heavy loading on a July job starts early in the morning.

Warehouse & Ag Moving FAQs

Another question? Call (530) 354-8089.

Can the office at our hulling or packing operation move without disrupting harvest?

Yes, by planning around the season instead of through it. Tell us when your first loads arrive and when the last ones ship, and we schedule the office, break room and scale house move for the quiet weeks on either side, with evening or weekend windows on request if your plant runs night shifts.

Who relocates our processing line, conveyors and anchored racking?

The equipment dealer or a specialist equipment contractor handles the production machines, and an electrician handles power drops. Racking bolted to the slab is taken down and reset by its installer. Our crew moves everything that breaks down by hand, including shelving, workbenches, tool chests and boxed or palletized goods, and we coordinate around those contractors' dates.

We share dock doors and a truck court with other tenants. How does that affect the move?

Mostly it affects timing. Shared docks usually come with booking rules, yard limits and set hours from the property manager. Give us the name of whoever books the dock, and we will plan trailer arrivals, staging space and crew size around the slots you are assigned.
