Scope of Services

·         Machine Relocation – Relocating machines within a plant, between buildings or to a new plant

·         Heavy Machinery Rigging & Lifting – Lifting machinery with cranes, forklifts, chain blocks, lever hoists, jacks and suitable rigging equipment

·         Loading / Unloading – Loading and unloading to and from trucks, shipping containers or machine receiving areas

·         Machine Positioning – Moving into confined spaces, aligning and positioning to the layout/reference points

·         Mechanical Installation – Assembly, installation, anchoring and support for alignment/leveling within the agreed scope

·         Utility & System Reconnection Support – Support for reconnecting electrical, air, water, piping and control systems within the project scope

·         Testing & Handover Support – Pre-handover checks and support for testing/start-up together with the customer or machine manufacturer

Standard Work Process

01 | Site Survey & Requirement Review

Survey of size, weight, approximate centre of gravity, work area, access routes, floor levels, lifting points, obstructions, utilities and the plant’s safety requirements, to determine the right working method.

02 | Engineering & Relocation Planning

Preparation of the work sequence, transport route, crane/forklift positions, rigging method, required equipment, manpower, set-down points and a risk-control plan before work begins.

03 | Safety Preparation

Pre-job meeting, checks of PPE and lifting equipment, barricading of the work area, control of unauthorised access, and compliance with Permit/JSA/LOTO or customer requirements where applicable.

04 | Machine Isolation & Preparation

Preparing the machine before the move, for example checking anchor points, removing or protecting parts at risk of damage, securing cables/pipes, and preparing base supports or protective materials as needed.

05 | Lifting, Rigging & Relocation

Lifting and moving according to plan under a supervisor and operations team, with clear signals, controlled movement and a safe zone maintained throughout the work.

06 | Positioning & Installation

Moving the machine into its final location, adjusting its position, setting it on its base or supports, and checking clearances and readiness for follow-on installation work.

07 | Reconnection & Commissioning Support

Support for reassembly and system reconnection within scope, with checks before function testing; actual commissioning follows the requirements of the machine manufacturer and the customer.

08 | Final Inspection & Handover

Examples of Field Work

Preparing and moving machinery inside a building

Our team controlling the move and positioning

Using a mobile crane on a factory site

Loading machinery into the transport area

Safety & Risk Management

Machinery relocation must be assessed against real site conditions, so we define working methods and equipment from the machine data and the work area, and control risk points such as heavy lifts, changes in floor level, openings, work near structures/utilities, and moves through production areas.

·    Check that cranes/forklifts and rigging equipment are suitable before use

·     Assign a supervisor and set communication between the signaller, operator and rigging team

·     Set up barricades/exclusion zones and control the transport route

·   Use PPE and safety documentation as required on site

· Stop work and review the plan immediately if real site conditions differ from the plan or risk increases

What You Get

Information Needed for Quotation and Planning

To quote accurately and plan the right relocation method, please prepare the following basic information:

·       Photos of the machine and the origin/destination areas

·       Machine dimensions (W × L × H) and approximate weight

·         Drawing / layout / new installation point (if any)

·         Distance and route of the move, including door widths and heights

·         Floor/storey limitations, level changes, openings or narrow areas

·      Scope of disassembly/reassembly of electrical, air, water, piping and control systems

·     Preferred work dates and permitted machine downtime windows
