Central Van Lines expands commercial moving services across the Tri-State region

Central Van Lines has broadened its commercial moving and corporate relocation services for businesses in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio as demand rises from offices, hospitals and schools. The Pittsburgh-based Allied Van Lines agent says the expansion adds dedicated crews, relocation support and logistics capabilities for larger and more complex moves.

Why it matters: - Central Van Lines is targeting a broader share of business relocation work across Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio. - The expansion is meant to support moves that require less downtime, tighter coordination and specialized handling for sensitive equipment. - The company’s commercial push also strengthens services for healthcare, education and institutional clients that need phased relocations and logistics support.

What happened: - Central Van Lines expanded its commercial moving and corporate relocation offerings from its Pittsburgh headquarters. - The company now fields dedicated commercial crews trained in office decommissions, industrial equipment rigging, FF&E installation and multi-phase facility relocations. - Central Van Lines was named Allied Van Lines’ Agent of the Year among more than 500 locations nationwide. - The company serves businesses across Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio.

The details: - The commercial division handles jobs from single-floor office moves in downtown Pittsburgh to hospital equipment transfers and university athletic logistics. - Central Van Lines is the official mover for WVU Athletics and the Marshall Thundering Herd. - The company transports team equipment to road games during the season. - Corporate relocation services include dedicated move coordinators, customized timelines, employee orientation support and access to climate-controlled storage. - Businesses in Pittsburgh, Charleston, Morgantown and Beckley have used the relocation program for individual employees and entire departments. - Commercial services include office and industrial moving, IT and server room relocation, furniture installation and reconfiguration, custom crating for sensitive equipment, document and records management during transit, and short- and long-term warehousing. - Central Van Lines also supports final mile delivery for hospitality, healthcare and retail clients throughout the tri-state area. - The company operates six locations across West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio. - Businesses can request a free commercial moving estimate at centralvan.com or by calling 412-341-0820. - The office is open seven days a week from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Between the lines: - The expansion positions Central Van Lines as more than a local mover, with services that reach into higher-complexity corporate and institutional projects. - The Allied Van Lines partnership gives Central Van Lines access to a nationwide logistics network for multi-stop relocations, cross-country employee transfers and international shipments through a single point of contact. - The partnership also provides full valuation coverage, real-time shipment tracking and guaranteed delivery windows for corporate accounts. - Gene Papa said commercial clients need a partner that can plan around business hours and protect sensitive equipment in transit. - Papa said the company built crews for projects such as a medical imaging suite in Morgantown or a corporate headquarters move in the North Hills.

What's next: - Central Van Lines is using the expansion to pursue more regional commercial accounts and larger relocation projects. - Businesses needing office, industrial or employee relocation services can now tap the company’s broader logistics network and warehousing capacity.

The bottom line: - Central Van Lines is leaning harder into commercial relocation, pairing local crews with Allied Van Lines scale to compete for more complex business moves across the tri-state region.
