About our Blackburn service

Blackburn is former cotton weaving town in East Lancashire with a diverse population, a cathedral and manufacturing employers, set against the West Pennine Moors. We know the area well: we carry out heavy equipment moving on behalf of manufacturers, engineering firms, workshops, warehouses, print shops and facilities managers throughout Blackburn, from Intack, Wensley Fold and Beardwood.

Start to finish, we keep heavy equipment moving in Blackburn simple: one point of contact, one fixed price and a team that turns up when agreed.

With advanced manufacturing sites, aerospace suppliers and busy distribution warehouses, Lancashire has plenty of heavy machinery that needs moving as businesses grow, relocate or upgrade, and it is everyday work for our team.

Many Blackburn firms move machinery during a planned shutdown, so we schedule surveys early to fit the move into the time available.
