Heavy equipment moving across Edinburgh and Lothian
Edinburgh is Scotland's capital, with a medieval Old Town and Georgian New Town, a large finance, tourism, government and university economy, and the world's biggest arts festival each August. We know the area well: we carry out heavy equipment moving on behalf of manufacturers, engineering firms, workshops, warehouses, print shops and facilities managers throughout Edinburgh, including Gorgie, Comely Bank and Craiglockhart.
We deal with heavy equipment moving for manufacturers, engineering firms, workshops, warehouses, print shops and facilities managers in Edinburgh regularly. The work is done to a high standard, at a clear price and finished on time.
Where a Edinburgh site has no forklift or loading bay, a HIAB lorry can usually lift the machine straight on or off the vehicle.
Across Lothian, we move everything from single bench machines to full production cells, with the method matched to each building.

Heavy equipment moving in Edinburgh: FAQs
How quickly can you start in Edinburgh?
Most Edinburgh enquiries get a reply the same day, and the majority of bookings can be scheduled within one to two weeks. If it is urgent, say so and we will try to fit you in sooner.
What do you need from me to quote in Edinburgh?
Simply use the quote form with your postcode, a short description of the job and when you need it. Photos help but are optional.
Do you cover Gorgie and other parts of Edinburgh?
Yes. We cover the whole of Edinburgh, including Gorgie, Comely Bank, Craiglockhart, Liberton, Leith and Morningside, as well as Livingston, Stirling, Perth and Dundee.
What postcodes do you cover in Edinburgh?
Every postcode in Edinburgh is covered, including EH1, EH3, EH4, EH6, EH7, EH9, EH10 and EH11. If you are just outside Edinburgh, send your postcode anyway 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.
