EUGENE MOVERS: Eugene Office Moving Specialists
We started Cross Town Movers, Inc. in 1996. We quickly became one of Oregon's top office and commercial relocation specialists. Now, with branches in Eugene, Corvallis, Newport, Salem, Medford, Grants Pass, McMinnville and Coos Bay we are growing into the Northwest's largest and most trusted local office and residential mover.
Cross Town Movers currently employs 45 full-time staff and owns 25 different-sized moving trucks and trailers, giving us the size and strength to accommodate moves of almost any size. Last year, we performed more than 2 ½ times the volume of local relocations in Lane County as our nearest competitor. We're still the area's preferred mover. The reason that local business and government prefer our company is because of our commitment to the "Les Schwab Service Model". Our clean-cut, courteous staff provide a superior level of service and attention to detail when performing office relocations. We are skilled and knowledgeable at efficiently performing large office relocations of 100 staff, or more, and we also accommodate small offices of just a few staff members. Our skilled office moving coordinator(s) will meet with your staff to formulate a plan for the efficient transfer, dis-assembly and re-assembly of your office space, while minimizing the interruption to your staff. We offer affordable relocation options for offices large or small and have state-of-the-art office moving equipment (including rolling office carts and library carts) to expedite the move. We typically provide boxes and colored labels, free of charge (please inquire)!

Preparation and planning
Preparation and planning are the keys to the success of any size office or commercial relocation. If awarded your company's relocation project, we will provide the planning (in conjunction with your move coordinator) needed that is critical to assure a smooth and timely relocation. Even though the relocation will be well planned out, we typically don't like to make it rigid. Flexibility is important! We will be ready and able to make quick changes as they are needed (or as you see fit). To better prepare your staff, we will provide a staff handout full of tips for preparation and also answers to frequently asked questions that your staff may have prior to the move.
Time and materials estimate
|
We typically provide time and materials estimates for relocating offices. This means that the actual man hours worked will be billed. Please inquire with your local office for standard applicable hourly rates. We typically provide boxes and labels free of charge (office moves only) as well as free box delivery and pickup. There is a charge for items such as tape or packing paper or odd sized boxes. After the move and box pickup, there will be a charge for materials not returned after the relocation. Time and materials bids for our customers cost less and allow us to perform higher quality work. If we were asked to bind your company's move, we would have to figure in every worst case scenario, driving up the final cost. If we run behind on our projections, the chance for less quality work inherently creeps in. Rest assured that we do not bill for breaks or for lunches. Also, most importantly, we feel that the experience level, synergy and focus of our staff will minimize the total hours worked significantly vs. a lesser experienced and temporary moving staff.

Thinking of downsizing?
Our company is well aware of turbulent economic times. Many local business are trimming spending, making layoffs and contemplating rearranging their space or moving to a smaller one. We can help! The efficiency of our service and staff will help to minimize the interruption to your business and can even help soften the blow for employees.
Our in-house moving services are affordable and flexible
While we excel at performing large scale, full-service office relocations, no longer are small in-house moving projects out of budget. Whether it is one file cabinet, a desk or a room full of office furniture, we can perform moves of all sizes and at affordable hourly rates. You simply let us know what you want moved and where you want it placed. Unlike our competitors who require a formal written estimate, days of advance notice and a four hour minimum, we only bill a one hour minimum and can normally accommodate same to next day service. We are also able to accommodate weekend, after hours and holiday relocations and we never charge overtime. Our staff is trained to be conscientious of minimizing the interruption to your office during the move.
Across town moves
Do you need to transfer office furniture or files across town to another location? We arrive in one of our clean, company moving trucks fully-equipped with our professional moving gear and staff who will expedite the transfer.
Got storage?
Need extra room for office furniture or files? Our staff excels at organizing storage to maximize space. Often times our staff can even reorganize your current storage space to make more room! And, if you still need more storage space, we have options for that, too.
Thinking of remodeling?
If your company is thinking about upgrading your space, our company can help! We can relocate your goods to short-term storage, or simply move them out of the installer's way, inside the office, to save time and money. We have working relationships with several local flooring companies and are referred by them because of our timely arrivals and willingness to work around their schedule, on weekends, nights and holidays. Whatever the remodel project, we are skilled at minimizing the relocation burden.

Office moving tips and moving instructions...
Packing Cartons
1) Place a label on either side of the carton, NOT on the top.
2) Cartons are stacked when moved. Please do not over pack. Please use our smaller 1.5 cu. ft. book boxes for books, papers and miscellaneous. Remember, always use this smaller box when possible. Only use our larger 3.0 cubic-foot boxes for miscellaneous items that won't fit into the smaller boxes.
3) Never pack papers, files, or books in the larger boxes. Please use a minimum of two strips of tape on the bottom seam and 1 on the top.
4) Please use the labels and do not write directly on the box as your company may be returning the boxes for credit after the move.

Labeling
1) Every item to be moved must have a label on it with a corresponding person's name and/or a department name as well as an applicable floor number, room number and piece number (please inquire with your Cross Town move coordinator for free labels and labeling recommendations). Depending upon the size of your company's relocation, we may or may not produce a formal map with assigned location numbers. Please inquire with your office move coordinator in regards to an applicable location number.
2) Computers, printers, wiring, telephones or any equipment which is fastened to desks, etc. must be disconnected.
3) If an item must be dismantled to be moved, be sure to label ALL of the parts. (Example: secretarial desk with a return should be labeled on BOTH the desk AND on the return.)

File Cabinets
1) Vertical (standard) file cabinets can be moved full. It is not necessary to pack contents. Be sure all pressure plates are moved forward.
2) Lateral File Cabinets - You may leave the bottom two drawers full. All drawers above the bottom two must be packed in cartons, unless they are traveling up or down stairs (in which case ALL drawers would need to be empty for the move).
3) Locks on file cabinets - if your file cabinet has a lock on it, to which you have the key, lock the file cabinet prior to moving. Be sure to store the key where it can be easily located after the move. If you do not have the key to the lock, please wrap packing tape around the lock until the lock can no longer be forced onto locking position. This prevents accidental locking during the move.

Chairs
Place a label somewhere that it will stick, not on chair fabric. It is better to have a label on the chair base where it sticks than to have the label fall off.

Miscellaneous
1) It is not necessary to label carpet protectors (chair pads), or wastebaskets unless you are particularly fond of them and you require that your same unit be moved to your specific new location.
2) Labels are easily removed and will not leave any residue if removed immediately following move completion.
3) Move preparation is a great time to clean out your work area! If you haven't used certain items in a while, you probably never will. Don't move items which you no longer need.
