Factory Relocation
As an experienced factory relocation company, we’ve helped a large number of clients relocate their manufacturing plants within the UK and overseas whilst minimising disruption to production and ensuring a high level of safety and compliance throughout.
In addition to offering efficient and cost-effective factory relocation services, we specialise in heavy machinery moving. During the relocation process, we aim to maximise productivity and avoid any potential disruption to your operations to minimise the impact it has on your business.
Experts in Factory Relocation Projects
We provide a full factory relocation service to assist you in moving your existing production lines, machinery or equipment to the new site, whether this is in the UK or overseas.
For all our factory relocations, we work closely in partnership with our client’s Engineering and Production teams, going beyond a basic Lift and shift to provide technical guidance and flexible solutions to help minimise operational downtime and consolidate production lines.
Safety is at the heart of how we operate and our core priority for every machinery move and factory relocation. From our decades of experience, controlled working practices, and regulatory compliance, we have attained an outstanding safety record.
Before we carry out any moving production lines, machinery or equipment, we carry out a full health & safety planning phase. This includes Risk Assessments (RAMS), Method Statements, Job Safety Plans, and any relevant safety training. In addition, we undertake regular health & safety meetings with all project members (this is often carried out weekly or monthly).
