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

How do I get a quote in Chester?

Do you work in Upton and other parts of Chester?

Yes. We cover the whole of Chester, including Upton, Blacon, Newton, Vicars Cross, Great Boughton and Curzon Park, as well as Wrexham, Liverpool, Birkenhead and St Helens.

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.
