Frequently Asked Questions — Midtown Manhattan
Do Midtown office buildings require a Certificate of Insurance?
Yes. Nearly all commercial towers and luxury residential buildings in Midtown demand a COI from your moving company before work begins. We issue these quickly and handle the building’s compliance process.
How do you schedule freight elevator use?
Freight elevators in Midtown are often booked weeks in advance. We coordinate with building management to secure slots and ensure your move stays on schedule.
What’s the parking situation for moving trucks in Midtown?
Parking is limited and regulated by loading zones, meter rules, and NYPD enforcement. We plan arrival times precisely, sometimes using multiple smaller trucks for better maneuverability.
Do you handle after-hours or weekend moves?
Yes. Many Midtown buildings prefer moves after business hours or on weekends to reduce disruption. We offer flexible scheduling to meet these requirements.
What about loading dock access?
Dock reservations are required in many commercial buildings. We coordinate with building engineers and security teams to ensure smooth access for our crews and trucks.
How do you handle moves in high-rise apartments?
We protect all common areas, use service elevators exclusively, and plan moves to avoid peak building traffic for resident convenience.
Do you provide packing and crating for office equipment?
Yes. We pack IT equipment, office furniture, and sensitive documents securely, with custom crates available for high-value or fragile items.
Can you manage phased commercial relocations?
Absolutely. For large corporate moves, we can relocate departments in stages, minimizing downtime and keeping operations running.
Is temporary storage available?
Yes. We offer secure, climate-controlled storage with barcode inventory — ideal for staged office setups or residential moves awaiting renovation completion.
How do you deal with Midtown traffic congestion?
We schedule strategically, often early mornings, late evenings, or weekends to avoid gridlock, and use GPS monitoring to adjust in real time.
