What is machinery moving and rigging?

Machinery moving and relocation projects involve moving heavy, large or hard-to-handle items from point A to point B in a controlled and safe way. Machinery moving is also used when conventional lifting equipment, such as cranes, won’t fit or isn’t suitable.

Machinery moving is an essential part of complex demolition and installation projects, such as modernising industrial plants, upgrading production lines and maintaining equipment. Successful machinery moving requires careful planning, the right equipment and skilled personnel, so that the work can be carried out safely and efficiently without damage or disruption to production.

Machinery moving requires careful planning

Awkward locations, such as cramped, low and narrow spaces, as well as the weight and shape of the item being moved, always pose their own special challenges. Almost every machinery moving and relocation project is different, and each one must be carefully planned in advance with health and safety and the schedule in mind.

For machinery moving, we mainly use a range of forklifts, machine skates, low-loaders, jacks and hoists. Depending on the distance, we carry out the move with low-loader combinations or transport platforms.

We also offer machinery moving and rigging as a standalone service, without any other demolition work.
