About our Bournemouth service
Bournemouth is a large south coast resort with miles of sandy beach, a university, a sizeable finance and digital sector and a high proportion of flats and retirees. We know the area well: we handle heavy equipment moving on behalf of manufacturers, engineering firms, workshops, warehouses, print shops and facilities managers throughout Bournemouth, from Westbourne, Winton and Charminster.
We offer heavy equipment moving across Bournemouth and the surrounding Dorset area. Big job or small, we give you one clear price before any work is booked.
Relocations between Bournemouth and other parts of South West are sequenced so machines can be reconnected and commissioned as soon as they land.
With advanced manufacturing sites, agricultural engineering firms and light industrial estates, Dorset businesses regularly need plant, generators and compressors moved, replaced or repositioned.
Questions about heavy equipment moving in Bournemouth
How do I get a quote in Bournemouth?
Simply fill in the form on this page with your postcode, a short description of the job and any timing needs. Photos help but are optional.
Can you come out to Westbourne and other parts of Bournemouth?

What postcodes do you cover in Bournemouth?
We cover all Bournemouth postcodes, including BH1, BH2, BH5, BH6, BH7, BH8, BH9 and BH10. If you are on the edge of Bournemouth, send your postcode anyway and we will confirm.
How much should I expect to pay for heavy equipment moving in Bournemouth?
Prices vary with the job. Your price depend on the size of the job and access, 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.
Will the floor take the weight?
It needs checking. Concrete ground-floor slabs in industrial units usually cope, but suspended floors, mezzanines, ramps, drain covers and older buildings can be a problem. We look at the route on the survey, spread loads with steel plates or timber where needed, and recommend a structural engineer's check if there is any doubt.
