Efficient Solutions
Hallett combines experience with innovation and technology with human care and understanding to create efficient solutions for complex commercial moves. Our practices to ensure the quickest, most cost-effective move include the following:
- Meetings with your project administrator and staff to identify their top priorities and concerns, so we can determine the best way to get the move done.
- Extensive site surveys prior to your move to avoid surprises and eliminate obstacles as well as to accurately determine costs, equipment needs, labor, and time required to complete relocation.
- Timelines designed to avoid unnecessary interruptions in your daily operations.
- Pre-move checklist.
- Color-coding and numbering systems that identify all items to be moved along with their exact placement in the new facility. We also create a floor plan of your new facility that reflects the exact placement of office furnishings, files, and equipment.
- Hallett utilizes proven methods and the latest technology to produce the most efficient and effective means for commercial relocations:
- Stack moving: designed for library moves, our stack mover lifts and moves up to 30 feet of shelving fully intact (books remain on the shelves). This machine is also ideal for moving some retail shelving with merchandise still on display; great for re-carpeting projects.
- Portable hydraulic lifts, cranes, ARA dollies, fume hood jacks, and conveyer belts allow quick movement of commercial flat files and other equipment.
- Chicago-style dollies equipped with soft, non-marring wheels.
- Moving containers designed and manufactured specifically for Hallett Movers.
- “Hallett Sky Box” portable elevator allows access to buildings via outside windows, doorways, or inside mezzanine level when standard elevators are not available.
- Portable exit and entrance ramps and conveyors custom fit to your building.
- Dynamic warehousing and long and short-term storage available.

"I highly recommend them for any job, large or small"
I have worked with Hallett Movers for five years since I joined Groupon in 2013. I have been in a facilities role for the past 30 years and I have worked with a lot of movers and Hallett is the best. We have been through numerous moves together throughout the years and I cannot imagine doing a move without them. Their team of hard working, responsible and, of course, fun loving movers have made each of our moves fun and seamless. I can't tell you how important they are to me when it comes to moving our people. I can always count on them to be here on time, we work hard and always get out on time or even early. Anyone who has gone through a large corporate move knows that they can be stressful and exhausting. Hallett comes in and between the personalities and the hard work we get the move knocked out and get back to our lives.
