How much does a commercial move cost in Montreal?

AKA Moving quotes commercial moves at a fixed price against a defined scope rather than by the hour, so finance can plan and there are no surprise charges. Price depends on the size of the move, access at both sites, and any after-hours scheduling or specialized equipment.

Does AKA Moving do after-hours and weekend moves?

Yes. Most commercial moves are scheduled for evenings or weekends so the changeover lands in your slowest window and your team returns to a working space, minimizing downtime.

Can AKA Moving relocate restaurant and kitchen equipment?

Yes. We relocate commercial kitchen and refrigeration equipment, coordinating disconnection and reconnection so the move protects the equipment and your timeline.

Commercial Movers Montreal: Office & Business Relocation

Q: Does AKA Moving handle heavy industrial equipment?

Yes. We move heavy and industrial equipment with the rigging, machine skates, and sequencing a machinery relocation requires, planned around your production schedule.

Q: Does AKA Moving offer warehouse storage in Montreal?

Yes. We operate a 30,000 square foot facility in Dorval offering short and long-term storage, so a commercial move is not held hostage to a single date when the new space is not ready.

After-hours office and equipment moves. Zero downtime. Written quote in 24 hours.

A commercial move that runs long costs you twice: your team stands on payroll with nowhere to work, and your customers call whoever answers the phone. AKA Moving, a Montreal-based commercial moving company, prevents both by running business relocations after hours, overnight, and on weekends across Greater Montreal, Laval, the West Island, the South Shore, and the Laurentians. You close Friday at 6 PM. You open Monday at 9 AM. This is the move behind the business, and we run it so your operation never stops.

Restaurant & Kitchen Equipment Moving Montreal

A botched refrigeration move can close your kitchen for days and burn out a compressor worth thousands. Our crews move fryers, ovens, walk-in coolers, and refrigerated display cases on a strict pre-move and post-move checklist: careful disconnection, secured transport, reconnection at the new site. Overnight slots mean you serve lunch the next day.

Retail Store Relocation Montreal

Display cabinets, counters, and full inventory, moved after closing so your shelves are stocked for opening. Every lost sales day goes to the store across the street, so retail moves run evenings, Sundays, and overnight. We stage by aisle so restocking follows your planogram, not a pile of boxes.

Laboratory & Medical Equipment Moving Montreal

MRI machines, X-ray systems, sterilizers, fume hoods, autoclaves, and lab benches need crews who understand both the weight and the calibration sensitivity. For hospitals, clinics, and research labs we plan chemical inventory transport and instrument handling before anything touches a dolly.

Laboratory relocation services

Heavy Equipment & Industrial Moving Montreal

CNC machines, generators, transformers, printing presses, and full production lines. Each machine gets a custom rigging plan based on weight, center of gravity, and clearance, and we coordinate power disconnection, anchor removal, and re-leveling with your facilities team. A machine that needs re-tramming after a bad move is a service call plus a day of lost production. The rigging plan exists so that never happens.

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. See the full heavy equipment and industrial moving guide for cranes, rigging, and route planning.

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. For full facility relocations covering assembly lines and factory floors, see our industrial facility relocation service and our guide to efficient heavy item moving.

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.

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 laboratory relocation services.

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.

Long-Distance Commercial Moving from Montreal

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. GPS tracking gives you real-time location from departure to arrival, on routes from Montreal to Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver, Halifax, and cross-border to the US. For interprovincial pricing and scheduling, see the long-distance moving company guide.

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. 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 delivery crews use. We coordinate with your shipping system, send GPS tracking links to your customers, and report delivery confirmations back to your fulfillment platform. Same-day and time-critical deliveries run across Greater Montreal from our Dorval warehouse.

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 cross-docking services and the benefits of a bonded warehouse in Montreal.

Order Fulfillment for E-commerce Brands

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. 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. Full details at our Montreal warehousing & storage hub. See storage unit options for sizes.

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. See what white glove delivery includes.

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.

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.
