Heavy equipment moving in Southampton

If you are living or working in Southampton will know the place well: Southampton is a major port city on the south coast, home to the cruise terminals, two universities and a large student population alongside established suburbs. We cover all of it, including Sholing to Highfield.

We carry out heavy equipment moving across Southampton and the surrounding Hampshire area. Big job or small, you get one clear price before anything is booked in.

Older industrial buildings in Southampton can have suspended floors, steps and narrow doors, so floor and route checks come first.

Lifts in Southampton that need a crane on the road are planned with the highway authority well ahead, so permissions are in place before the day.
