Elevator Moves Go back Ask your move consultant if your building is registered with us. You may also request that your building manager register your building with us right on line. Most elevator buildings have specific guidelines regarding move day procedures. These rules insure your safety, reduce tenant conflicts and help with building maintenance. It is your responsibility and it is definitely to your advantage to secure a list of the move day procedures beforehand. The following information discusses common restrictions you may encounter. TIME AVAILABLITY There may be limited days and/or hours which will be made available to your mover. Schedule your move in close cooperation with those times. ELEVATOR RESTRICTIONS Get assurance from the building management that you can have exclusive use of service elevators. Possession of the elevator key will help prevent you from paying your move crew to stand in line waiting for elevator service. Ask to post signs to make other tenants aware. ELEVATOR SIZE AND CONDITION Most modern buildings have service elevators, which are well padded. If your building has only tenant elevators, be sure and mention this to your move consultant. Special arrangements will have to be made for large pieces of furniture. PARKING Reservations may need to be made which will allow the van to park at the loading dock. Unfortunately, most companies will have to charge you even if they are forced to wait for other delivery people and companies to clear the loading area. Ask to post signs to make other tenants aware. HALLWAYS Some exclusive buildings require Masonite floor runners or similar protection on all hallways from the loading dock to your front door. Be sure to discuss this and any other hallway regulations with your move consultant.
