Quote intake
What installers need before quoting
Providing this up front speeds up North Houston quotes and avoids re-scoping.
- Origin and destination addresses
- Approx. pallet positions / number of bays
- Manufacturer / system type if known
- Move-out and move-in dates
- Whether the destination layout is finalized
- Surplus rack to sell vs. reinstall ratio
Compliance & planning
Reinstalled rack should be re-anchored, re-plumbed, and re-rated. Old load plaques do not transfer if beam configuration changes. Plan AHJ notification if the destination requires a new HPS permit.
