Heavy machinery shifting moves industrial machines, generators, presses and other heavy equipment between sites, with a lifting and transport plan prepared for each piece. We plan machinery moves from our branches in Sultanpur and Jaunpur across Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand, and to and from any city in India.
How is a machinery move planned?
Each machine's weight, dimensions and lifting points are checked first; then the lifting equipment, vehicle and route are chosen to suit it.
A site visit confirms access at both ends: floor strength, door and gate sizes, space for a crane, and turning space for the vehicle. The machine maker's manual and your maintenance team are the best sources for weight and lifting points, so share them with us when you can.
What equipment is used?
Depending on the load: cranes, hydraulic jacks, rollers, forklifts, and trailers suited to the weight and size.
Smaller machines can often be moved with forklifts and rollers. Larger ones are lifted by crane onto a low-bed or flat-bed trailer. The method is decided from the weight, the size and the space available at each site.
Preparing machines for transport
Machines are disconnected, drained where needed, their moving parts locked, and sensitive parts removed and packed separately.
Electrical and utility disconnection should be done by your own electrician or the machine's service engineer, who should also reconnect and commission it at the new site. Control panels and gauges are protected, and the machine is secured to the vehicle with chains or straps for the route.
Oversized loads and permits
Loads that are too wide, tall or heavy for normal road limits may need route permissions and escorts, and may only be allowed to move at certain times. We identify this during planning so the dates hold.
Information to share for a quote
- A list of machines with make, model, weight and dimensions.
- Photos of each machine and of the access at both sites.
- The pickup and delivery addresses and your preferred dates.
- Whether foundations or anchoring work is needed at the new site.
For moving stock and racks along with machines, see warehouse shifting.
What affects the cost
Cost depends on the weight and dimensions of each machine, the lifting equipment needed, access at both sites, the distance, and any permits or escorts for oversized loads.
