Factory Relocation


Synergy Lifting are a leading factory relocation specialist, providing clients with a full package service from one point of contact.

Nationwide Factory Relocation

We deliver full turnkey factory relocation services across the UK and Europe, managing every stage from disconnection and dismantling through to transport, reinstallation, and recommissioning at the new site. Our process includes disconnecting and decommissioning equipment, carrying out strip-outs and dismantling, lifting and removing machinery, packaging and transporting it securely, offloading and positioning it at the new location, and completing reinstallation and recommissioning.

Factory relocations involve complex logistics, tight schedules, and safety-critical operations. Working with a specialist team helps reduce risk, avoid delays, and keep your project on track. We bring the experience, equipment, and planning expertise needed to manage relocations efficiently and with minimal disruption.

What area do we cover?

We are spread out across the UK and that gives us nationwide coverage. This means we are able to carry out surveys and take on work wherever you need us.

Not ready for a site visit yet or just budgeting?

Don’t worry, we can do a desktop survey to assess what is needed and provide you with a quote. We can usually do this on the same day you get in touch with us.

    Your Factory Relocation Project

    What is included in our factory relocation service?

    Each factory relocation project is unique and we can combine a range of our services to create a tailored package for your particular factory relocation project requirements.

    Strip Out & Dismantling

    Where required, our factory relocation team can strip and dismantle structures to allow for ingress and egress of your machines. This can include dismantling steelwork, creating openings in a roof or wall, and also reinstating these alterations afterwards if required. Our factory relocation team can also strip and dismantle your machines when this is more practical or economical or if it is required to reduce them to transportable sizes.

    Packaging & Transportation

    We arrange for the full relocation of your equipment from one site to another site with suitable options – whether this is done using trailers or curtainsiders or if it requires abnormal load movements. If your machines or equipment need packaging (for example if they are fragile or are being exported) then we can undertake this as part of our scope of works too. This packaging can be bespoke made and can range from crates for machines to cradles for silos.

    Lifting & Moving

    The main part of the factory relocation project is moving the equipment and machines through the factory and outside ready for loading and vice versa at the end destination. Synergy Lifting have a range of specialist equipment including skates, jacks, gantries etc. and we even have our own electric pick and carry cranes, forklifts, and larger mobile cranes. We can relocate machines on your site or we can relocate them to another factory.

    Interim Storage

    If you have not found a new site yet, if you do not know if you will need all of your equipment at your new site but need it off the old site, or if you just want more time to plan your factory layout then you can benefit from an interim storage solution. Synergy Lifting offer interim storage at our secure premises as part of our factory relocation service. We have stored various equipment ranging from entire production lines to small items such as AHUs, lathes, etc.

    Removal & Disposal

    Depending upon the circumstances of your factory relocation project, you might not want to keep all of your equipment and machinery – perhaps you are downsizing or perhaps you are replacing redundant equipment with new equipment at the new site. If you need to dispose of a redundant machine or piece of equipment then we can take potential scrap or resale value into account to offset against the factory relocation project costs.

    Positioning & Installation

    Often the final step in our factory relocation package is the final positioning, levelling, and installation of your equipment. We work alongside you to help programme the factory relocation project so that the deliveries suit your new factory layout. In some situations it can be economical to alter a factory layout (for example when enabling works or heavy cranes are involved) and we can let you know if cost savings are there for your consideration.
