Moving a business in Jebel Ali is unique compared to moving an office in Downtown.
Dubai’s industrial centre is Jebel Ali. Businesses here not only have desks and chairs but also have warehouses, heavy machinery, server rooms, and industrial racking.
Relocating from or within Jebel Ali Free Zone requires a mover who knows about more than packing boxes, heavy lifting, and staying within the safety regulations for the Free Zone. It requires a logistics partner who knows about gate passes, heavy lifting, and the Free Zone’s intricate safety regulations.
At Chevron Sea Shipping, we handle industrial and commercial relocation. Here’s how we manage the heavy lifting for Jebel Ali businesses.
1. Understanding JAFZA Gate Pass Requirements
The JAFZA free zone operates as a customs-controlled zone. It is not possible to have a truck come in and drive off with the equipment.
- The Challenge: Certain “Gate Passes” or customs documents are required to move items in or out of the Free Zone, especially in the case of IT equipment or machinery. These documents show proof of customs duties paid or provide authorisation for the transfer.
- Our Expertise: We manage all the logistical documentation. We ensure our trucks have the appropriate JAFZA entry permits and that your items are transport-ready, so we don’t have issues at the security gate.
2. Heavy Machinery & Safe Rigging
If your office has an adjoining warehouse, you may need to slide heavy machinery through alongside your filing cabinets.
- Specialised Equipment: Unlike typical movers who only use trolleys, we use forklifts, pallet jacks, and, if needed, cranes.
- Rigging Services: We use specialised rigging methods to guide large industrial machinery and securely position them on our trucks. We obtain and redistribute the proper rigging to ensure that no damage occurs during transport.
3. Warehouse Racking: Dismantle & Reassemble
Moving a warehouse office frequently entails relocating the storage modules as well.
- The Hazard: Heavy industrial racking is quite risky. Short-sightedness during a collapse can worsen the impacts of the site.
- The Chevron Standard: Our teams are supplemented by specialist carpenters and technicians, who dismantle and reassemble at your new location heavy-duty racking systems, maintaining levels and securely bolting each. Hence, they are safe to immediately load the next.
4. IT & Server Relocation
Powerful on-site servers are essential for industrial companies and run the logistics or manufacturing software.
- Priority Handling: Our team handles your server rack with the utmost care. Each rack is secured with anti-static wrapping and custom transport cages.
- Cable Management: Every cable and port is labelled by our team. We coordinate with your IT staff to ensure the server is the last component to be removed and the first to be installed to reduce operational downtime.
5. Safety is Our License to Operate
In any industrial setting, safety is a must.
- PPE Compliance: Our team members come prepared with their own Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to meet your HSE requirements. This includes safety shoes, high-visibility vests, and hard hats.
- Insurance: We carry liability insurance to protect you if something gets scratched or damaged, including expensive machinery.
