Industrial machinery transport services
Industrial machinery transport covers the movement of heavy, high-value or technically sensitive machines between factories, workshops, storage sites, ports and installation locations. The work often combines lifting, packing, route planning and road transport rather than simple haulage.
Machinery and equipment moved
- CNC machines, lathes, mills, presses, guillotines and machine tools
- conveyors, packaging lines, bottling lines and production equipment
- generators, pumps, compressors, chillers and industrial plant
- robotic cells, control cabinets, test rigs and automation equipment
- forklifts, workshop machinery, access platforms and attachments
- crated machinery, export-packed equipment and relocated factory assets
Technical handling requirements
Machinery moves depend on weight, centre of gravity, lifting points, machine height, floor loading, access, isolations and whether the item is bolted down. Skates, jacks, forklifts, cranes, Versa-Lifts, spreader beams, low loaders or specialist packing may be needed.
Transport methods for machinery
Machinery may move on low loaders, step-frame trailers, flatbeds, Hiab vehicles, enclosed technical vehicles, curtainsiders or containers. Sensitive machines can require air-ride suspension, export packing, moisture protection, shock control and careful securing.
