Lancaster heavy equipment moving: common questions

How quickly can you start in Lancaster?

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

How do I get a quote in Lancaster?

Simply use the quote form with your postcode, a few details of the job and any timing needs. Photos help but are optional.

Do you work in Scotforth and other parts of Lancaster?

Yes, we do. Our service covers all of Lancaster, including Scotforth, Bowerham, Skerton, Ryelands, Freehold and Marsh, plus nearby Blackpool, Kendal, Preston and Blackburn.

What postcodes do you cover in Lancaster?

We cover all Lancaster postcodes, including LA1 and LA2. If you are on the edge of Lancaster, let us know your postcode and we will check.

Do I need a lift plan?

Yes, for any lift using a crane, HIAB or other lifting equipment. The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) require every lifting operation to be properly planned by a competent person, appropriately supervised and carried out safely. For crane lifts this is usually set out in a written lift plan following the British Standard for the safe use of cranes, BS 7121.

What to have ready for your Lancaster 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
