Local heavy equipment moving in Cambridge
Cambridge is a historic university city with a booming science, technology and biotech economy, high property prices and strong demand for rental housing. That is where we come in: we provide heavy equipment moving for manufacturers, engineering firms, workshops, warehouses, print shops and facilities managers across Cambridge, including Eddington, Grantchester and Abbey.
If you need heavy equipment moving in Cambridge, we can help. We work with manufacturers, engineering firms, workshops, warehouses, print shops and facilities managers throughout Cambridgeshire, and every job is priced up front so you know exactly where you stand.
With precision engineering workshops, packaging plants and large distribution warehouses, Cambridgeshire has plenty of heavy machinery that needs moving as businesses grow, relocate or upgrade, and it is everyday work for our team.
Many Cambridge firms move machinery during a planned shutdown, so we schedule surveys early to fit the move into the time available.

For crane lifts this is usually set out in a written lift plan following the British Standard for the safe use of cranes, BS 7121.
