    What can we do for you?

    Pick and choose what you need from us. We can do just one of these things or all of them together.

    Offloading & Loading

    We can provide cranes, forklifts, telehandlers, and other plant to load equipment on transport and offload equipment from transport. Whether this be onto flatbeds, curtainsiders, vessels, or even into containers.

    Packaging & Transportation

    We can handle the entire relocation of your equipment from point A to point B. Should your machines or equipment require packaging due to fragility or export requirements, we can also provide bespoke-made packaging such as crates and cradles.

    Lifting & Moving

    Need something heavy or awkward lifting and shifting? We can help. Whether you require equipment relocated on site or need it transferred to another address, we have the operatives, equipment, and transport to do this.

    Interim Storage

    If you need interim short-term storage or even long-term storage, then we can also provide this for you too. Our facilities are safe with cameras and secure fencing. We can do this for entire production lines or smaller items like AHUs and lathes.

    Removal & Disposal

    Need us to remove and dispose of redundant equipment or machinery from your site? We can also handle this. We are a registered upper tier waste carrier, broker, and dealer so you can expect full transparency from us.

    Positioning & Installation

    Our operatives will be able to shift your machine or other equipment into its final position and level it too. Whether this be shifting an AHU onto a plinth, shifting a machine into place in a factory production line, or shifting anything else into position.

    What obstacles can our lift and shift team overcome?

    Not every job is straightforward. If you have anything difficult or awkward to overcome then we will be able to devise a method.

    Stair Climbing

    We have different methods for getting equipment up and down stairs - into basements or onto rooftops.

    Tight & Confined Areas

    Sometimes access is tight or confined. We can work in cramped spaces safely and effectively.

    Uneven Terrain

    We can overcome rough or uneven terrain. Not every job takes place in a factory with a nice smooth floor.

    Plinth or Pit Placement

    Getting plant, equipment, or machinery up onto a plinth or down into a pit is no problem.

    Handrails & Barriers

    We can safely remove handrails and barriers and then reinstate them afterwards.

    Mezzanine Floors

    We can also lift and shift items up to and down from mezzanine levels where required.
