Office Moving Instructions

YOUR MOVE WILL BE HANDLED EFFICIENTLY IF
YOU CAREFULLY FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS


Employee Name

Label Color        Number

Placement of your office furniture at new location is done by number - not by your name. Your moving number and label color are listed above. Items without label won't be moved. All Freeman Relocation Systems supplies labels and tags.

MARKING -
Label each item. If an item must be dismantled to be moved, be sure to tag all parts. Example: secretary desk with return.

DESKS - Label the desk on the top surface.
  1. Your desk will probably be turned on end - pack accordingly.
  2. Place small items such as pens, clips, rubber-bands, etc. in an envelope in center drawer, or place in container.
  3. Breakable items and liquids such as ink, glue, etc. should be removed and packed in container provided for this purpose.
  4. All articles from the surface of the desk should be placed in the container, as should contents desks not to be moved.
  5. If desk is to be carried up or down stairs, empty it completely.

GLASS TOPS ON DESKS -
Place Label on lower right-hand corner and remove all papers from under the glass.

VERTICAL FILING CABINETS -
Place label on top drawer. Be sure all pressure plates are moved forward so contents will be secured. It's not necessary to lock the drawers.

LATERAL FILE CABINETS -
Empty all drawers is best. Minimum preparation is empty all drawers except bottom two (2).

BOOKCASES -
Place label on either side or on top. Contents should be removed and packed in containers.

LARGE METAL SUPPLY CABINETS -
Place label on front near upper right-hand corner. Remove contents and pack in containers. Tag contents same as cabinet.

TYPEWRITER and OTHER MACHINES - A special rack is used to move office machines.
  1. Secure typewriter carriage by placing both marginal stops in the center-place numbered label on the rubber roller. Place typewriter cover in container.
  2. For all other machines, place a label on the top or in the front.
  3. Unplug all cords-pack if removable-if not wrap around machine (or lamp).

PACKING CONTAINERS -
Place label on EITHER END. NOT ON TOP. Containers are stacked when moved, therefore please DO NOT over-pack. Flat tops on cartons speed the move.

MISCELLANEOUS
  1. Don't forget to tag chair seat and pad, carpet protector, wastebaskets, etc.
  2. Labels are easily removed when move is completed; because of this they will not adhere to some surfaces - if necessary place piece of scotch tape over label.
  3. We are not allowed to remove items attached to walls: detach and label if going.
  4. If you have any questions contact your supervisor.
  5. Use, "DO NOT MOVE" signs on those items not to be moved!

Thank You.
