Corporate moving covers the physical relocation of a business from one location to another. This includes the furniture, equipment, files, and technology that keep your operations running. It also includes coordinating the moves of employees who are relocating as part of a company transfer.
Hollander handles both sides of a corporate move. We relocate your office and its contents, and we move your employees and their households. As an agent for United Van Lines, we have the network to manage local moves within the Chicago area and long-distance relocations across the country or overseas. Every corporate move gets a dedicated point of contact who manages the project from start to finish.
Our facilities at 1801 Pratt Blvd in Elk Grove Village sit adjacent to the O'Hare corridor. This gives us direct access to the expressway network and allows us to reach most of the Chicago metro area within 30 minutes. For businesses along the I-90 and I-290 corridors, this location cuts transit time and reduces the cost of multi-trip moves.
Most corporate relocations involve two separate problems: moving the office and moving the people. Hollander handles both under a single contract. Your office furniture, server equipment, and files move on our trucks. Your relocating employees get the same level of service for their household moves. One invoice, one point of contact, one schedule.
Hollander has been operating since 1888. We have moved through every kind of disruption, from building booms to economic downturns. That experience shows up in how we plan. We know what goes wrong on a corporate move and we build the schedule to prevent it. Our DOT number is 77949 and our MC number is 8668.
We move desks, cubicle systems, conference tables, and executive furniture. Every piece is padded and wrapped before it leaves the building. We disassemble furniture that cannot fit through doorways and reassemble it at the destination. Chairs, filing cabinets, and shelving are loaded and organized by department to make unpacking faster.
Computers, monitors, printers, and phone systems require careful handling and a clear chain of custody. We label every cable and connection point before disconnecting equipment. Servers and network hardware are moved in climate-appropriate vehicles. We coordinate with your IT department on disconnect and reconnect timing to minimize the window your systems are offline.
Paper files, legal records, and archived documents are moved in sealed containers with tracking labels. We transfer file cabinets fully loaded when the building allows it, which eliminates the time and cost of boxing and reboxing thousands of folders. Sensitive files can be transported under chain-of-custody protocols if your compliance policies require it.
When employees are transferring to a new city as part of a corporate move, we handle their household relocations. This includes packing, loading, transportation, and delivery to the new residence. We offer local moves within the Chicago metro and long-distance moves anywhere in the country through the United Van Lines network. International employee relocations are available as well.
Not every corporate move happens in a single day. If your new space is not ready or your lease dates do not overlap, we provide short-term and long-term storage at our Elk Grove Village facility. Your office contents stay in a secure, climate-controlled environment until delivery day.
If you are vacating a space entirely, we can remove everything from the building. This includes furniture disposal, electronics recycling coordination, and leaving the space broom-clean for your landlord. We help businesses meet their lease surrender requirements so there are no charges at move-out.
You are moving your office from one building to another in the Chicago area. We survey both locations, build a floor plan for the new space, and move everything in a sequence that lets your employees return to a working office the next business day. Weekend and after-hours moves are available to avoid lost workdays.
Your company is merging two or more offices into one location. We manage the sequencing so that each site's contents arrive at the right time and land in the right area of the new building. We keep inventories separate by origin site to prevent confusion during setup.
Your company is relocating a group of employees to a different city. We assign a relocation coordinator who works with each employee individually. Every household move follows the same service standards and reporting structure, which gives your HR department a single dashboard for the entire group.

SINCE 1888 HOLLANDER STORAGE & MOVING
We walk both your current and future locations. We measure doorways, elevators, loading docks, and parking access. We note anything that requires special handling, such as oversized furniture, heavy safes, or sensitive electronics.
We build a detailed plan that covers every phase of the move. This includes packing schedules, truck assignments, elevator reservations, and building access windows. You receive the full plan in writing before any work begins.
On moving day, our movers pack, wrap, and label every item by department and floor. Color-coded labels match each item to its placement on the new floor plan. Employees receive instructions on how to prepare their personal desk items.
We load by department in reverse order of delivery priority so the items you need first come off the truck first. At the destination, every item is placed according to the floor plan. Furniture is reassembled and positioned. Packing materials are collected immediately.
We do a final walkthrough with your facilities manager. Every room is checked against the floor plan. If anything needs adjustment, we handle it on the spot before we leave.
A corporate move takes more lead time than a residential move. Begin planning at least 60 to 90 days out for a small office and 4 to 6 months out for a large facility or multi-site project. The earlier we do the site survey, the more options you have for scheduling.
Designate one person on your side as the single point of contact. This person handles internal communication, employee questions, and decisions about what gets moved and what gets disposed of. A clear chain of command prevents delays on moving day.
Every corporate move is an opportunity to get rid of what you do not need. Old files, broken furniture, and outdated equipment cost money to move. Clearing them out before the move reduces your total cost and gets your new space set up cleaner.

A small office of 10 to 20 employees can typically be moved in a single day or over a weekend. Larger offices with 50 or more employees may take several days, depending on the complexity of the IT infrastructure and the distance between locations. We build the timeline during the site survey.
Yes. Weekend and after-hours moves are one of the most common requests we get for corporate relocations. We schedule the work so your employees leave on Friday and return to a functioning office on Monday.
We handle the physical transport of all IT equipment, including servers, workstations, and phone systems. We label and document every connection before disconnecting anything. Reconnection and network configuration are typically handled by your IT department or a third-party IT vendor, but we coordinate the timing with them.
We offer storage at our Elk Grove Village facility for exactly this situation. Your office contents are held in a secure environment until the new space is ready for delivery. Storage terms are flexible and can be arranged on short notice.
Yes. We handle both the office relocation and the household moves for transferring employees. Each employee gets their own move plan and schedule. Your HR department receives consolidated reporting across all employee moves.
Yes. We provide COIs to building management at both the origin and destination. Many commercial buildings and office parks require proof of insurance before allowing movers access. We send certificates directly to building management as part of our standard process.
We use a color-coded labeling system that assigns a unique color to each department or floor. Every box, piece of furniture, and piece of equipment gets tagged with the matching color and a placement code that corresponds to the new floor plan.
We handle corporate moves of every size. This includes small offices with a handful of desks up to large multi-floor facilities. We have moved entire corporate headquarters with hundreds of employees and we handle small satellite office relocations with equal attention.
