How do you move machines without a crane?

Most moves inside buildings use machine skates and toe jacks, or hydraulic gantries where the machine needs lifting. The machine is jacked up evenly, set on skates and rolled along a planned route, then jacked down in its new position. This is often the safest method for getting through standard doorways and across finished floors.

  • Back up any CNC programs, parameters and settings before power is removed
  • Ask for a written method statement and, for any lift, a lift plan
  • Confirm the mover's insurance cover limits against the value of the machine
