Industrial estates around York vary a lot in access, from wide roller-shutter doors to older units with steps and tight yards, so every move starts with a proper look at the route.

We regularly lift and position machine tools, compressors and generators for York firms, working early mornings or weekends where that keeps the business running.

Can you move a machine to an upper floor or basement?
