Heavy equipment moving in Poole: FAQs

Just use the quote form with your postcode, a few details of the job and any timing needs. If you have photos, they help us price accurately.

What does heavy equipment moving cost in Poole?
It depends on the job. Your price come down to the scope of the work and access, so the quickest way to an exact figure is to send your details. Typical prices are in the facts box at the top of this page and in our cost guide.
Will the floor take the weight?
It needs checking. Concrete ground-floor slabs in industrial units usually cope, but suspended floors, mezzanines, ramps, drain covers and older buildings can be a problem. We look at the route on the survey, spread loads with steel plates or timber where needed, and recommend a structural engineer's check if there is any doubt.
