Are you moving the location of your factory and its contents? Or do you just need to move a single piece of heavy machinery from one industrial location to another? For many, this poses a logistical challenge, but for us, it’s another day at the office. So do not be alarmed, as we have the right equipment for your situation as well, and can offer the best rates in excavator hire for every need.

A machine lifting company, such as us, can move large and expensive items for you with the care and expertise a normal moving company cannot provide.

Our team has decades of experience transporting modern equipment, be it single units or entire production lines. Our heavy lifting technology makes this process easy. We understand that these machines represent our customer’s livelihoods, so you can rest assured that your most expensive assets are in safe hands.

Who can lift heavy machinery

Our machinery lifting company has many years offering factory relocations and machine transportation.

Our lifts are conducted with the utmost safety to protect those involved and the equipment itself. Other nearby items such as other equipment, walls and adjacent structures will be taken into account so nothing interferes with the lifting process.

We will also work out any measurements and spatial concerns before commencement. Many lifts must take place in a confined space and we are equipped to deal with this from any angle.

The lift specialist’s use telescopic mobile cranes, forklifts and other methods. Our lifting capacities range from 6 to 65 tons. For heavier loads, we also employ what’s known as a 4-point jacking system. This can lift 100 to 400 tons in a single load.

Our teams have experience using the above equipment at sports stadiums and on high-rise office blocks. We’ve even moved large but fragile sheets of heavy glass as seen in The Shard building in London.

See the below list of equipment we use:

• Block and Tackle: Equipment that employs wheels, ropes or chains that specially designed for lifting or moving heavy items.
