Commercial Movers Montreal: Office & Business Relocation
AKA Moving, a Montreal-based commercial moving company, plans and executes business relocations across Greater Montreal, Laval, the West Island, the South Shore, and the Laurentians. Our crews are licensed, fully insured, and trained for office equipment, server rooms, and confidential document handling. We schedule moves on weekends and after business hours so your operation never stops.
Every commercial relocation gets a dedicated project manager, a fixed-price written quote with no hidden fees, and the same crew from packing to setup at the new site. For the full operational breakdown — site visits, packing schedules, NDA-ready crews, billing — read our complete guide to AKA Moving: expert in business relocation.

Long-Distance Commercial Moving
When your business moves outside Montreal, the chain of custody matters. AKA Moving runs the full route with our own crews — load at the origin, drive the route, unload at the destination, no third-party hand-offs. Our GPS tracking gives you real-time location updates from the time the truck leaves to the time it arrives. For interprovincial pricing and scheduling, see our long-distance moving company guide.

Heavy Equipment & Industrial Moving in Montreal
Some commercial moves are not about square footage — they are about lifting capacity. AKA Moving owns hoisting cranes, lift gates, forklifts, flatbed trucks, heavy-duty hand trucks with pneumatic wheels, and lifting straps rated for industrial weights. The crews trained on this equipment are not the same as our residential crews — heavy-item moving is its own specialty.
If you are moving anything that needs more than two people and a dolly, our complete guide to efficient heavy item moving services walks through every piece of specialized equipment we use, the assessment process, and how we minimize damage risk. For full industrial facility relocations — assembly lines, robotics, factory floors — see our best industrial facility relocation service.
Commercial Refrigeration Systems
Walk-in freezers, industrial refrigerators, cooling units, and refrigerated display cases all require careful disconnection from utility lines, secured transport, and reconnection at the new site. AKA Moving handles refrigeration moves for restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, and food distribution warehouses. Improper handling can damage compressors and rupture coolant lines, so our crews follow a strict pre-move and post-move checklist for every refrigeration unit.
Generators, Transformers & Industrial Boilers
Industrial generators, transformers, and boilers are some of the heaviest pieces of equipment we move, and the most sensitive to vibration and tilt during transport. We dismantle, pack, transport, and reassemble these systems following manufacturer specs, with rigging plans drawn up before move day. Each unit travels secured to a flatbed with vibration dampening to protect internal components.
Large Machinery, CNC & Manufacturing Equipment
AKA Moving relocates CNC machines, industrial-grade printing presses, lathes, drill presses, and full manufacturing line equipment. Each large machine gets a custom rigging plan based on its weight, center of gravity, and clearance requirements. We coordinate with your facilities team for power disconnection, anchor removal, and re-leveling at the destination.
Airport Equipment Relocation
Baggage conveyors, boarding bridges, ground support vehicles, and airport-specific equipment require both heavy-lifting capability and an understanding of operational downtime constraints. AKA Moving has handled airport equipment moves with same-day dismantling and reinstallation to minimize impact on flight operations.
Construction Materials Transport
Pallets of construction materials, structural steel, drywall stacks, and bulk supplies need even weight distribution and strap-down protocols to prevent shifting in transit. We use flatbed trucks with rated tie-downs for construction material transport across long-distance routes as well as local Greater Montreal deliveries.
Day, Evening & Night Moving Services
Many commercial moves cannot happen during business hours — restaurants need to be operational by morning, retail stores need shelves stocked for opening, offices need workstations live before staff arrive Monday. AKA Moving runs after-hours and overnight crews specifically for businesses that need zero operational downtime. Evening, Saturday, Sunday, and overnight slots are available with no overtime surcharge on commercial accounts.
Medical & Laboratory Equipment
MRI machines, X-ray systems, sterilizers, fume hoods, autoclaves, and lab benches require crews who understand both the weight of the equipment and the calibration sensitivity. For hospitals, clinics, research labs, and tech companies, see our top laboratory relocation services.

Last Mile Delivery & Cross-Docking from Montreal
AKA Moving runs last mile delivery for furniture retailers, e-commerce brands, interior designers, and B2B distributors that need every delivery to feel premium. Our last mile crews assemble furniture, remove packaging, place items in the customer's chosen room, and get a signed sign-off — the same standard our white glove residential crews use.
For same-day, next-day, and time-critical deliveries across Greater Montreal, see our quick last minute delivery and warehouse service. We coordinate with your shipping system, send GPS tracking links to your customers, and report delivery confirmations back to your fulfillment platform.
Cross-Docking Service
Cross-docking moves goods directly from inbound trucks to outbound trucks with minimal storage in between — ideal for perishables, time-sensitive shipments, and inventory that does not need long-term warehousing. Our Dorval facility runs cross-docking 7 days a week with bonded warehouse capability. See best cross docking services and benefits of bonded warehouse in Montreal for the full operational details.
Order Fulfillment for E-commerce Brands
Our fulfillment service covers receiving, inventory management, picking, packing, shipping, and customer support coordination — a full 3PL operation run from our Dorval warehouse. If you sell physical product and want to outsource the logistics of getting it to customers, our team integrates with Shopify, WooCommerce, and most major e-commerce platforms.
Cost-Effective Distribution
Whether you are moving raw materials from suppliers, finished goods to retailers, or direct-to-consumer shipments, AKA Moving consolidates the work into one accountable provider. One contract, one invoice, one team — instead of juggling separate carriers, warehouses, and last-mile contractors.
Montreal Warehouse & Storage Service
AKA Moving operates a 30,000 square foot warehouse in Dorval, near Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport and the Trans-Canada Highway, 25 km from the Port of Montreal. The facility has 24/7 camera surveillance, climate control, and bonded warehouse capability for goods awaiting customs clearance. For full warehousing service details, see our Montreal warehousing & storage hub.
Whether you need transitional storage between offices, long-term inventory warehousing, or a distribution point for your supply chain, we offer flexible monthly contracts without long-term lock-ins. See best storage units for your needs for unit sizes and pricing.
Premium Delivery & Setup
When your goods need to be delivered, unpackaged, assembled, and placed inside a customer's space — not just dropped at the curb — that is white glove service. AKA Moving runs white glove delivery for furniture brands, interior designers, art galleries, and luxury retailers across Montreal.
Packaging & Repackaging Services
Some shipments arrive in bulk packaging that needs to be broken down, repackaged into customer-ready units, and labeled before going out the door. AKA Moving offers in-warehouse packaging and repackaging so you do not have to send shipments to a separate facility. See mastering warehousing and storage for the full service catalog.
Third-Party Logistics (3PL)
For businesses that want to outsource the entire warehousing-and-fulfillment chain, AKA Moving acts as a full 3PL provider — receiving inbound, managing inventory, fulfilling orders, and reporting back through your ERP or order management system. This is the right option if logistics is not your core competency and you want one accountable provider instead of stitching together suppliers.
