As libraries adapt to meet the changing needs of their communities, reorganization, renovation, or relocation may become necessary. Choosing library movers is one of the most critical and delicate tasks during such transitions.

This task is typically long and time-consuming. It involves removing all the books from the shelves and placing them on carts for transportation. You can move your library shelves safely while they are full with the right movers. This will save librarians time and money because they won’t have to unload and reshelve the books and media.

Moving Loaded Library Book ShelvingOur team of experienced library shelving movers uses specialized library moving equipment that features pneumatic lift technology. An eco-friendly solution, the pneumatic lift equipment uses nitrogen gas to lift fully loaded library shelving off the floor. The movers lift the shelving units, roll them out of the way on the lift system’s heavy-duty casters, and then lower the shelves with the lift.

The pneumatic moving equipment can move over 50 feet of fully loaded shelving at a time, without damage to shelving units or stored books. The system uses compressed air to lift the bookstacks evenly. This eliminates the risk of fluid leakage associated with hydraulic lifting systems.
