The Clock Keeps Running on Warehouse Moving

and So Does the Uncertainty

Warehouse moves are big and slow, and hourly crews bill for all of it. One delayed truck or a racking system that takes longer to take down, and the budget is gone.

Wall clockThat's a lot of uncertainty for your operation.

Red Cat does it differently.

We agree on the price after a walkthrough, so the whole move is budgeted before it starts.

Hourly vs. Flat Rate

Why Let the Clock Decide What You Pay?

Racking, pallets and heavy equipment make warehouse moves slow to count by the hour. We walk the floor, price the job and hold that price through the last pallet.

    Grand total$9849.17

    Elena R.'s online store was moving its stock and racking from a Beltsville unit to a bigger one in Laurel, and orders had to go out every day of the move.

    • The challenge

      Orders every day

      The store could not stop shipping.

      Orders a day
      ~140
      Cut-off
      3 PM
      Days closed
      0

      About 140 orders a day leave the warehouse by the 3 PM carrier pickup. A move that stopped shipping for two days meant two days of late orders and refunds. The stock had to move in sections, with the pick wall always working somewhere.

    • The challenge

      24 bays of racking

      Down, moved, up again, same layout.

      Racking bays
      24
      Beams
      96
      Racking weight
      13440 lbs

      Twenty-four bays of pallet racking, 96 beams and the uprights, 13440 pounds of steel bolted to the slab. It had to come down in the order the stock left it, go up in Laurel in the same layout so the pick locations still matched the system, and be anchored again before a single pallet went on it.

      Sixty pallets at 1200 pounds each, 72000 pounds of stock, nine of them fragile. Each one has a location in the inventory system, and a pallet that arrives in the wrong bay is stock the pickers cannot find.

    • The challenge

      A move priced by the hour would float

      Racking and forklifts are slow to count.

      Hourly quotes
      Ranges, not prices
      Stages
      Priced as one job
      Deposit
      $0

      Hourly movers quoted ranges, because racking takes down slower than it looks and forklift work waits on the dock. Elena wanted the whole move, both stages, as one number she could put in front of her partner.

    How we did it

    Our ApproachTwo Stages, Half the Floor Each

    We walked the floor, priced the whole move, and moved it in two stages so the pick wall never stopped.

      A crew leader walked the Beltsville floor with Elena and counted it: 96 racking beams, 60 pallets, and the office with 10 desks, 10 office chairs, 3 large tables and 21 chairs. It came to 200 line items, 16597 cubic feet and 88585 pounds, priced at $9849.17 for the whole move in two stages.

    • Our approach

      11 truckloads, ten movers

      26-ft trucks on an Economy day.

      Truckloads
      11, 26-ft
      Crew
      10 movers
      Price level
      Economy

      At 16597 cubic feet the move was 11 loads in 26-foot trucks, with a crew of ten. That Thursday was an Economy day, one of the lower-priced days of the month, so moving midweek kept the price down as well as the pick wall open.

    • Our approach

      Racking first, then pallets

      Slow stock went first, the pick wall last.

      Stage one moved the slow-moving half of the stock and twelve bays of racking. The racking went up in Laurel first, anchored, then the pallets went into their bays, location by location. Stage two moved the fast-moving stock, the last twelve bays and the office. One day's carrier pickup went out from Beltsville as usual and the next went out from Laurel.

    • Our approach

      The estimate came to $9849.17 with no deposit. Both stages, the racking take-down and re-set and the forklift work were all inside it, along with taxes, tolls, fuel and mileage. The price was guaranteed for the items listed, so it held through the last pallet.
