About our Carlisle service

Anyone living or working in Carlisle knows the area: Carlisle is border city in north Cumbria near Hadrian's Wall, the main service and retail centre for the region, with food manufacturing and distribution employers. We work right across it, from Upperby and Morton.

Booking heavy equipment moving in Carlisle should be quick and painless. Fill in the form with a few details and you will get a firm, fixed quote, usually the same day.

Businesses in Carlisle buying second-hand machines often need collections from auctions and dealers elsewhere in North West, planned around tight collection windows.

Where a Carlisle site has no forklift or loading bay, a HIAB lorry can usually lift the machine straight on or off the vehicle.

Questions about heavy equipment moving in Carlisle

How quickly can you start in Carlisle?

We aim to reply to Carlisle enquiries the same day, and most jobs can be booked in within one to two weeks. Urgent work can often be fitted in sooner.

What do you need from me to quote in Carlisle?

Simply use the quote form with your postcode, a short description of the job and any timing needs. If you have photos, they help us price accurately.

Do you work in Upperby and other parts of Carlisle?

Yes, we do. Our service covers all of Carlisle, including Upperby, Morton, Belah, Raffles, Newtown and Kingstown, plus nearby Kendal, Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and Durham.

What postcodes do you cover in Carlisle?

Every postcode in Carlisle is covered, including CA1, CA2 and CA3. If you are just outside Carlisle, let us know your postcode and we will check.

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.
