Questions

Can you disconnect and recommission machinery?

No. Power, air and plumbing should be disconnected and reconnected by your electricians, fitters or the machine supplier. We move the machines once they are ready.

Can you move heavy machines?

Yes. We move them through specialist carriers and riggers with the right equipment. Send us weights and sizes and we tell you what is involved before you book.

Do you move chemicals or hazardous stock?

No. We do not carry dangerous goods. Chemicals, gases and hazardous materials need a specialist. We move everything else.
