What is Machinery Moving & How Can We Help You?
In the world of machinery movers and industrial equipment, you really need to hire professionals due to the risk involved.
As a result, we are the experts entrusted with the task of relocating, assembling, disassembling, and transporting heavy equipment across various sites.
So, whether it’s the transfer of a large printing press, an MRI machine, or a CNC milling machine, our industrial movers can make it happen easily with both precision and care.
But, how do we go about doing it?
Factory and machine moves aren’t like moving a few desks and a photocopier. They come with unique challenges, and we know them well.
We’re used to:
- Coordinating with multiple departments or sites
- Working with oversized or highly sensitive equipment
- Handling complex phased moves
Keeping things confidential, especially when projects involve NDAs
It’s this attention to detail and respect for how your business works that we like to think really sets us apart.
Before moving any machine, our machinery movers assess its dimensions, weight, and unique specifications. We then use this information to help us determine the kind of equipment, workforce, and techniques required for your move.
Often, large industrial items cannot be moved in one piece. In such cases, our movers will carefully disassemble the machinery, marking and cataloguing each part to ensure that you get a smooth reassembly process on the other end.
Then, our special dedicated logistics and moving vehicles, which are designed to carry heavy loads and consist of flatbed trucks, are deployed to transport your machinery.
Due to their sheer size, some of your machines might even require police escorts or road closures, which we can also handle on your behalf.
Once at the new location, the process is reversed, with our machinery movers piecing the machinery back together, ensuring it works as is intended.
Handling heavy machinery also poses numerous risks.
That is why our machinery movers are well-versed in safety protocols to ensure the well-being of the machinery and the people involved.
As a modern machinery moving company, we utilise various moving tools and equipment to give you the best, most efficient, and safest relocation possible.
These can consist of, for example:
Hydraulic Gantries
These are used for lifting heavy machinery in tight or difficult spaces.
Jack and Slide Systems
For moving heavy equipment over short distances.
Cranes
Used for lifting and positioning machinery.
Skates and Rollers
To facilitate movement on a flat surface.
So, whether you’re moving across the street, across the UK, or across the world, we’ve done it.
From multi-site operations to large-scale machines, and whole factory relocations as well as overseas projects, our team has the know-how and the resources to handle the big jobs without a hitch.
We have also worked with manufacturers, industrial plants, and engineering firms of all sizes, and we bring that same high level of service wherever the job takes us.

Can you help with Factory Relocations?
When moving a factory or any equipment, it’s not just about packing up and shifting everything to your new location, as you may think.
In fact, one of the biggest decisions is what to take with you, what to sell on, and what to leave behind. That is where we can help you go through every asset, whether it’s machinery, equipment, or your storage systems, and help you figure out what’s still adding value and what’s just taking up space.
We can then arrange for resale, recycling, or responsible disposal of surplus items that you do not need, as well as help you get some money back from assets you no longer need.
We like to think that it is all part of making your move smarter, more efficient, and cost-effective after all.How Do You Help To Reduce Downtime?
We understand how costly Downtime can be in a factory setting.
That’s why we go out of our way to keep your operation running smoothly throughout the move and know how to communicate this with you.
So, whether that means working through the night, carrying out moves at the weekend, or breaking things up into phases to keep production ticking along, we’ll build the plan around your schedule.
We’ll even liaise with your production team to make sure our work fits neatly around theirs, and to help keep your factory running and your customers happy as a direct result.
