About our Margate service

Margate is a traditional seaside town on the Isle of Thanet whose sandy beaches, Old Town and arts scene have driven regeneration and an influx of creative residents. We provide heavy equipment moving in every part of Margate, from Birchington and Cliftonville through to Westbrook.

We handle heavy equipment moving for manufacturers, engineering firms, workshops, warehouses, print shops and facilities managers in Margate regularly. Jobs are done properly, priced clearly and finished on time.

Businesses in Margate buying second-hand machines often need collections from auctions and dealers elsewhere in South East, planned around tight collection windows.

Where a Margate site has no forklift or loading bay, a HIAB lorry can usually lift the machine straight on or off the vehicle.
