Heavy equipment moving in Oldham

Oldham is former cotton spinning town in the Pennine foothills of Greater Manchester, with a diverse population, Metrolink links to Manchester and dense terraced streets. That is where we come in: we provide heavy equipment moving for manufacturers, engineering firms, workshops, warehouses, print shops and facilities managers across Oldham, including Moorside, Lees and Derker.

We provide heavy equipment moving throughout Oldham and the wider Greater Manchester area. Whether it is a small one-off job or a larger project, you get one clear price before any work is booked.

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

Across Greater Manchester, we move everything from single bench machines to full production cells, with the method matched to each building.
