Summary

Step by step procedure for requesting movers to assist with large equipment moves at off-site locations.  If this is time sensitive, then you may need to coordinate the move within your area.  

Directions

When submitting a ticket with the movers, include the following information.  Tickets are generated by emailing the details of your request to lsa-movers@umich.edu

  1. Pickup location and Delivery location
    1. Indicate if someone will be at the locations to give direction.
      1. Items will be left if movers are unsure.
    2. Indicate if location is locked via key, CCURE, or other
      1. Movers have full CCURE access so doors with a card are always fine
      2. Doors with a key may require extra time to coordinate if nobody will be present for pickup, but movers can usually obtain a key with enough notice.
      3. If no one is at the location, include photos or make sure that the items are clearly marked.
  2. Items being picked up
    1. Photos in email and physical signs on items preferred
  3. Tools Needed
    1. Indicate if tools will be needed, or if you’re providing them. (Could be the case for dispo pickups from offsite locations, etc)
      1. “Tools” refers to items such as two-wheel dollies for overly large or heavy items, Crates (stackable up to 4 high with 4 wheel dollies) and Racks (large racks used by movers to pick up items for disposal)
