Salford heavy equipment moving: common questions

How fast can you get to Salford?

We aim to reply to Salford enquiries the same day, and most jobs can be scheduled within one to two weeks. If it is urgent, say so and we will try to fit you in sooner.

How do I get a quote in Salford?

Just use the quote form with your postcode, a short description of what you need and any timing needs. If you have photos, they help us price accurately.

Do you cover Salford Quays and other parts of Salford?

Yes. Our service covers all of Salford, including Salford Quays, Ordsall, Pendleton, Eccles, Swinton and Pendlebury, as well as Manchester, Bury, Altrincham and Bolton.

Which Salford postcodes do you cover?

Every postcode in Salford is covered, including M5, M6, M7 and M50. If you are just outside Salford, send your postcode anyway and we will confirm.

Who disconnects the machine from the power supply?

Electrical isolation and reconnection should be carried out by a qualified electrician, and air, hydraulic, water and coolant connections by your own engineers or the machine supplier. We coordinate with them so the machine is safely isolated before we arrive and ready to reconnect as soon as it is in position.
