Equipment & Heavy Equipment Moving & Haulage Service
We are capable of moving both standard equipment & heavy equipment. We can install the equipment on the other end for you as well. We offer a heavy haulage transport service.
This includes: moving heavy machinery, transporting construction equipment, oversized loads, wide loads, gauges and long vehicle convoys.
We provide escort vehicles as part of our service and can also handle the logistics of your move, so you don’t have to. This even includes liaising with local police authorities and government agencies on your behalf.
We also have extensive experience in successfully moving everything from small CNC machines to 150-ton press crowns and everything in between.
Heavy Haulage, Simplified and Secured
Moving specialised machinery, oversized loads, or heavy industrial equipment requires more than just a truck - it demands precision planning, specialist fleet capability, and a commitment to safety, and we understand that.
That is why we will handle the entire process, from initial route surveying and securing necessary permits to providing dedicated lift and logistics support.
So, whether you are relocating construction machinery, moving plant equipment between sites, or transporting modular units like the ones shown here, our expert team ensures your assets are delivered on time and in perfect condition, minimising your downtime and maximising your operational efficiency.
Delivering Your Critical Infrastructure, With a Safety First Mindset
Our role also extends beyond simply moving equipment; we are instrumental in delivering the components that shape our future, from essential utilities to renewable energy projects.
We actually recognise that heavy haulage is inherently high-risk, which is why safety is non-negotiable.
So much so, that our drivers and logistics crews are rigorously trained to manage complex loads, adhere to strict regulatory compliance, and execute detailed risk assessments for every journey.
As a result, by providing you with reliable and responsible heavy equipment moving services, we help to make sure that your critical projects - from machines needed for urban development to your industrial growth - can advance safely and sustainably as well.
Our Heavy Lifting Equipment
Our heavy machine moving fleet consists of the latest in heavy haulage and commercial vehicles with a very large lifting capacity combined between them. It is also staffed by a large and skilled team professional moving with years of experience in the industry and thousands of machinery installations under our belt. As a result, all of our heavy machine movers and moving machines are well maintained and upgraded to handle the complexities of modern industrial equipment and machinery moving.
As a result, you can rest assured and have peace of mind that the machinery relocation services have the equipment and expertise to carry out any move with our professional movers and specialized equipment. Furthermore, we have full public liability insurance as well.
From hydraulic gantry systems and cranes to specialised transporters and heavy-duty trailers, we have the equipment to accommodate loads of all sizes and weights.
Our fleet includes, to name but a few:
Hydraulic Gantry Systems, Machine Skates, Toe Jacks, Air Skates, Fork Trucks, & Other Lifting Accessories
For precise lifting and positioning of heavy machinery in confined spaces.
Mobile Cranes
Offering flexible lifting solutions with extensive reach and capacity.
Transport Vehicles
For the efficient on-site movement of super-heavy components for manufacturing companies.
Heavy-Duty Trailers
Including flatbeds, drop decks, and multi-axle trailers, which are designed to transport heavy loads safely across long distances.
Expert Heavy Equipment Moving & Haulage Services
Our highly experienced team of professionals is at the heart of our moving process. With extensive training in the different types of specialist machinery, we can bring to bear - such as our own equipment from our machine moving skates to our specialist lifting equipment, all combined with a deep understanding of the complexities involved in heavy equipment transport - including international machinery transportation and the complexities that come around that - and the installation services post move. Consequently, we can ensure that your machinery is in safe hands. High-quality service includes:
Project Planning and Management
Every one of our machinery relocation projects begins with meticulous planning. We assess the specific requirements of your machinery, implement lift plans and site surveys, and consider dimensions, weight, and transport routes to devise a comprehensive relocation strategy for your heavy machinery.
Whether you need a whole plant relocation to kick in, or to move heavy items as part of your business needs, our quality service is here to help you and your specific requirements.
Custom Solutions
Recognising that no two projects are the same, we provide customised solutions tailored to your equipment's specific requirements. Whether it's a single-machine move or a complete factory relocation, we've got you covered.
Permit Acquisition and Route Surveying
We handle the logistics, including permit acquisition and route surveying, to ensure a smooth journey from start to finish.
On-Site Assembly and Disassembly
Our team is equipped to manage the assembly and disassembly of your machinery, ensuring it's ready for use as soon as it arrives at its destination.
Our Geographic Reach, Where We Can Deliver
When it comes to moving heavy equipment, our service isn't limited by borders. We provide a comprehensive machinery shipping service across a vast geographical area, with a carefully managed distribution network that covers the entire UK mainland and extends to Europe and beyond.
Our global network of partners and expertise in route planning allows us to handle complex international movement and border crossings with ease.
We also have extensive experience with offshore haulage, regularly serving the Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, and the Channel Islands with specialist care.
Every route is meticulously planned, and we manage all necessary local transport permits to ensure a seamless journey from start to finish.
So, wherever your machinery needs to go, we have the logistical expertise to get it there securely and efficiently.
How We Prepare for Transport
Before any heavy equipment leaves your site, a rigorous preparation process is undertaken to ensure maximum efficiency and safety.
That is why our heavy transport strategy begins long before the wheels start turning. Every item is checked for cleanliness, and a detailed inventory is created to document its condition and components, which is a vital part of our damage mitigation plan.
Crucially, all hydraulic systems are secured, and any loose or separate parts are carefully packed and labelled. We also ensure that all necessary import/export documentation is in place well in advance, streamlining the cross-border transport process.
We follow strict health and safety measures throughout the entire loading and unloading process, with expert crews utilising specially designed ramps to load the machinery onto our vehicles.
Our no-transhipment policy is key here, as it means the equipment is only loaded once, and our dedicated team is responsible for its journey from start to finish.
This, combined with our use of robust, secure, fastening methods, guarantees your machinery is completely safe and stable throughout its entire journey. We also handle any hazardous materials in line with all regulations, ensuring a fully compliant and secure service.
Safety and Compliance, Our Top Priorities
Transporting heavy equipment isn't just about moving machinery from one place to another; it's a job that requires a careful and precise heavy transport strategy. At every stage of the process, from loading to securing the equipment for transit, we follow strict health and safety protocols.
Our global logistical expertise enables us to develop a comprehensive approach to damage prevention. We believe in creative engineering to manage even the most complex lifts and moves, using our state-of-the-art equipment and an unwavering no-transhipment policy. This ensures your valuable machinery is handled by the same skilled team from start to finish.
We also have specialised procedures for handling hazardous materials, with every aspect of the transport carefully planned to a critical path to guarantee the utmost security. Your machinery transport service with us means peace of mind, knowing that your heavy equipment is in the safest hands, from the moment it leaves your site to its final delivery.
