Columbus Commercial Moves
One of the main reasons Columbus stands out to inventors and business owners is its recession-proof economy. While many other parts of the country felt the pressure of the economic downline, Columbus remained largely unscathed. This is thanks to its diverse economy.
The city has kept itself afloat due to the foresight of its leaders decades ago. This laid the groundwork for what Columbus is today, and what it will become. Having a business in Columbus offers you some of the same protection and prospects. Three Movers can get you there!

Have your vehicle(s) arrive at the same time as your belongings when you request our auto transport service. This makes one less thing you’ll have to worry about!
Heavy/Oversize Equipment Haul
No move is too big for Three Movers even when it involves transporting heavy/oversize equipment. We provide skilled personnel for the job as well as the truck and machinery to load/unload it. Allow your pricey equipment to be chauffeured in style by the best in the business!
Small Office Moves
No move is too small for Three Movers even when you've only got a few pieces of equipment and office furniture. Our movers still apply the same level of skill and efficiency to the task so you're guaranteed a commercial move done right.
We also offer a series of office add-on services that can make your life easier. Our office packaging services and decommissioning services involve packing up the old location and getting it in shape to hand over to your landlord.

Storage Solutions
Three Movers offers world-class storage facilities and the peace of mind you need to be separated from your belongings. These facilities are under 24/7 surveillance, so you never have to worry if your things are safe. These are some of the most affordable storage solutions you’ll find in the Columbus area, so book your unit sooner than later!
Long-Distance Relocation Services
There’s no such thing as “too far” for Three Movers. We have extensive van lines spanning the entire country from coast to coast and North to South. We also offer international commercial long-distance moving services to those who need them!
Note: The longer the distance is the earlier you have to start planning your commercial move. In the moving business, we advise long-distance commercial customers to schedule their moves at least 6 months ahead of their move date!
Frequently Asked Questions
Most Columbus commercial moves fall between $900–$6,000 depending on office size, 3–6 movers, equipment handling, and building access rules. Costs rise when elevators must be reserved or when disassembly is needed for cubicles and large desks. Companies with inventory, IT equipment, or multi-floor loading typically require longer labor windows. For general pricing guidance, see our moving prices breakdown.
Key drivers include square footage, number of workstations, packing volume, equipment weight, elevator availability, and the complexity of moving IT infrastructure. Downtown Columbus often requires truck permits or loading coordination, adding time. Seasonal demand near Ohio State University can affect weekday scheduling. Review our average cost of local moving company resource for baseline expectations.
Small offices often complete in 4–8 hours, while multi-suite operations may require 1–2 days, especially if servers or specialty equipment need staging. Timing depends on building access windows, elevator speed, and after-hours requirements imposed by property management. Moves involving inventory or warehouse areas extend total labor time.
Yes. Many businesses choose evening or weekend moves to minimize downtime. Availability depends on crew staffing, building management approval, and whether elevators can be reserved. After-hours moves are common in Downtown, Arena District, and Polaris commercial buildings. Details on full-service support are available through our full service movers page.
Professional crews can pack, pad, and transport servers, monitors, printers, routers, and other sensitive equipment using anti-static materials and secured loading zones. Time is influenced by cable management, disassembly, and whether the business uses third-party IT staff for reconnection. Clear labeling helps streamline the move-in process.
Same-day support is sometimes available for smaller offices, though larger relocations require planned crew capacity. Downtown congestion, elevator scheduling, and loading-dock access often limit short-notice jobs. Urgent requests involving equipment rooms or heavy items may require extra movers. See our same day movers guide for general expectations.
Most companies schedule 3–6 weeks ahead. High-demand seasons, corporate lease turnovers, and OSU-related activity can tighten availability. Complex relocations with IT coordination, large inventories, or phased department moves often need earlier planning to secure trucks and building access.
