Heavy equipment moving across Birkenhead and Merseyside
Birkenhead is wirral town across the Mersey from Liverpool, built on shipbuilding at Cammell Laird, with grand Victorian squares and a large regeneration programme. That is where we come in: we carry out heavy equipment moving on behalf of manufacturers, engineering firms, workshops, warehouses, print shops and facilities managers throughout Birkenhead, from Oxton, Prenton and Claughton.
We provide heavy equipment moving across Birkenhead and the surrounding Merseyside area. Big job or small, you get one clear price before anything is booked in.
With advanced manufacturing sites, aerospace suppliers and busy distribution warehouses, Merseyside has plenty of heavy machinery that needs moving as businesses grow, relocate or upgrade, and it is everyday work for our team.
Many Birkenhead firms move machinery during a planned shutdown, so we schedule surveys early to fit the move into the time available.

What does heavy equipment moving cost in Birkenhead?
It depends on the job. Prices in Birkenhead come down to the size of the job and access and timing, so the quickest way to an exact figure is to send your details. Typical prices are in the facts box at the top of this page and in our cost guide.
How quickly can you start in Birkenhead?
Most Birkenhead enquiries get a reply the same day, and most jobs can be booked in within a week or two. If it is urgent, say so and we will try to fit you in sooner.
Who disconnects the machine from the power supply?
Electrical isolation and reconnection should be carried out by a qualified electrician, and air, hydraulic, water and coolant connections by your own engineers or the machine supplier. We coordinate with them so the machine is safely isolated before we arrive and ready to reconnect as soon as it is in position.
