Heavy equipment moving across Plymouth and Devon

Anyone living or working in Plymouth knows the area: Plymouth is a large naval and port city on Devon's south coast, rebuilt after wartime bombing, with a major dockyard, a university and long-established waterfront districts. We cover all of it, from Stonehouse to Peverell.

We deal with heavy equipment moving for manufacturers, engineering firms, workshops, warehouses, print shops and facilities managers in Plymouth regularly. The work is done to a high standard, at a clear price and completed when agreed.

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

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

Questions about heavy equipment moving in Plymouth

How much does heavy equipment moving cost in Plymouth?

How do I get a quote in Plymouth?

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

Do large machines need special transport permits?

Most machines fit on a standard low-loader or HIAB lorry without any special permission. Very wide, long or heavy loads fall under abnormal load rules and need advance notice to the police and highway authorities, and sometimes bridge owners, before they can travel. We check the dimensions and arrange this where it applies.
