About our Chichester service
Chichester is a small historic cathedral city in West Sussex with a Roman street plan and Georgian centre, between the South Downs and Chichester Harbour, with a university and strong tourism. Our team handles heavy equipment moving in every part of Chichester, including Donnington and Lavant out to Westhampnett.
We handle heavy equipment moving for manufacturers, engineering firms, workshops, warehouses, print shops and facilities managers in Chichester every week. Jobs are done properly, priced clearly and finished on time.
Many Chichester firms move machinery during a planned shutdown, so we schedule surveys early to fit the move into the time available.
For machinery moves in Chichester, we check yard space, overhead cables and turning room for the lorry as part of every survey.
