Gravesend heavy equipment moving: common questions
How much does heavy equipment moving cost in Gravesend?

Do you cover Istead Rise and other parts of Gravesend?
Yes. We cover the whole of Gravesend, including Istead Rise, Higham, Northfleet, Riverview Park, Singlewell and Chalk, plus nearby Rochester, Dartford, Chatham and Gillingham.
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.
What to have ready for your Gravesend quote
- Book an electrician and engineers to isolate, drain and later reconnect the machine
- Back up any CNC programs, parameters and settings before power is removed
- Ask for a written method statement and, for any lift, a lift plan
- Confirm the mover's insurance cover limits against the value of the machine
- Mark the machine's new position and make sure services are ready there
