Overview
Nationwide factory relocation
We deliver full turnkey factory relocations across the UK and Europe, managing every stage from disconnection and dismantling through to transport, reinstallation and recommissioning at the new site.
That includes decommissioning equipment, strip-outs and dismantling, lifting and removing machinery, packing and transporting it securely, then offloading, positioning, reinstalling and recommissioning it at the new site.
Factory relocations involve complex logistics, tight schedules and safety-critical work. A specialist team reduces the risk, avoids delays and keeps your project on track 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 or just budgeting?
We can do a desktop survey to assess what is needed and give you a quote, usually on the same day you get in touch.
What’s included
What our factory relocation service includes
Every relocation is unique. We combine our services into a package tailored to your project.
-
Strip-out and dismantling
We strip out and dismantle structures to get your machines in and out, from steelwork to openings in a roof or wall, and reinstate them afterwards if needed. We can also dismantle machines when that is more practical, more economical or needed to reduce them to transportable sizes.
-
Packaging and transport
Your equipment moved from one site to the other on trailers, curtainsiders or as abnormal loads. If machines are fragile or being exported, we pack them as part of our scope, with bespoke crates for machines and cradles for silos.
-
Lifting and moving
The main part of any relocation: moving machines through the factory and out for loading, then in again at the other end. We have skates, jacks and gantries, and our own electric pick and carry cranes, forklifts and larger mobile cranes.
-
Interim storage
Not found a new site yet, not sure you need everything, or want more time to plan the new layout? We store equipment at our secure premises, from entire production lines to small items such as AHUs and lathes.
-
Removal and disposal
Downsizing, or replacing redundant equipment at the new site? We remove and dispose of machines you no longer need, and take scrap or resale value into account to offset against the cost of the relocation.
-
Positioning and installation
Often the final step: positioning, levelling and installing your equipment. We help programme the deliveries to suit your new layout and let you know where changing the layout could save costs, for example where enabling works or heavy cranes are involved.
