Taking the weight off your mind
About Our Heavy Machine Movers Service
Synergy Lifting move machines everyday – whether this be from one factory to another factory, a machine movement from one part of site to another part of site, or a new delivery of machinery or equipment to offload and install. We are expert machine movers and have experience moving a range of machines both nationwide and internationally. From a single heavy machine or piece of equipment to entire factories, our machine movers service focuses on providing clients with a cost-effective machine movement solution where we take the lead and coordinate activities to deliver projects efficiently and safely. With personnel and resources spread across the UK, we are able to offer our machine movers service across the entire country and can even deliver our machine movers service internationally for certain projects. Our machine movers team can tackle even the most complex project and regularly move CNC machining centres, lathes, milling machines, drilling machines, boring machines, grinders, robotics equipment, scientific equipment, conveyor systems, HVAC equipment, ovens and furnaces, presses, and more…
Our machine movers service can be different for every project and we are proud to offer a tailored machine movers service based on your exact requirements. Simple projects often require just offloading, lifting, shifting, positioning, levelling, and installing but our service package can include a combination of our core machine movers offerings (including movement, transportation, lift and shift, dismantling, packaging, storage, and disposal) as well as our other services where required (including steel erection, cladding, roofing, temporary propping, demolition, and more).

How we operate
Our Machine Movers Process
Our machine movers team understand that every machine movement project is different. However, the process for delivering each project professionally is still the same (albeit the process for the work on site is rarely the same from one project to another). The core components of this process include our site visits and assessments, preparation of quotes and RAMS, confirmation of values for insurance purposes, and the execution and management of our project operations. Below is a typical outline of a standard machine movement project from start to finish.
Site Visit
The first step is for Synergy Lifting's machine movers team to conduct a site audit to produce documentation for the following steps.
Quotation
Following our initial site visit, our team will produce a detailed quotation with an outline of our scope of works and timescales.
Site Assessment
Our team will undertake our full site assessment to establish HSE requirements and finalise our method for lifting operations, dismantling etc.
Risk Assessment
With safety being our priority in all of our operations, a site-specific risk assessment will be created to go alongside our method statement.
Method Statement
Our team will write up a site-specific method statement detailing our safe working procedures to carry out our operations.
Highways and Councils
Synergy Lifting will work with local councils to arrange any necessary permits or road closures if heavy/wide loads need transporting off site.
Insurance Covers
Synergy Lifting's full comprehensive insurance covers will be presented to the client for review before site operations commence.
Project Management
The machine movement work will be undertaken by our qualified personnel utilising our specialist plant and equipment.
Handover
