Heavy Equipment Movers in Canterbury
Our Canterbury heavy haulage operation supports automotive and aerospace components clients across Kent, with crews who know multi-tenant unit access and the trailer mix required to get awkward loads in and out of working Canterbury sites without disruption.
What we move in Canterbury
Recent Canterbury projects have included undefined, lathes & turning centres and fork lift trucks — each planned around the site survey, lift study and the right combination of beavertail plant trailer transport and on-site skating gear. Where Canterbury access is restricted, we phase the move into smaller drops rather than forcing oversized vehicles into unsuitable approaches.
Plant transport across Canterbury
Tracked and wheeled plant collected from Canterbury sites and delivered on the correct beavertail plant trailer, with strap-down points and edge protection rated for the load.
Machinery moves in Kent
Disconnect, skate, transport and re-install of production equipment for automotive and metal fabrication operators around Canterbury.
Factory & line relocations
Phased strip-out and rebuild — ideal for Canterbury manufacturers expanding into a second unit or consolidating production.
Crane-assisted lifts
Mobile crane hire with lift plans, banksmen and certified rigging for rooftop placements and multi-tenant unit access in Canterbury.
Rigging & precision skating
Indoor moves of transformers & switchgear through Canterbury doorways, across mezzanines and into final levelled positions.
Abnormal & oversized loads
Route surveys, ESDAL notifications and police / private escort coordination for oversize moves to or from Canterbury.

How a Canterbury move runs
Every Canterbury job starts with a free site visit or remote survey. We confirm weights, centres of gravity and lift points, then issue a method statement, RAMS and lift plan before mobilising. Once on site in Canterbury, a nominated lift supervisor runs the job, documents each step and signs the equipment over commissioned in its new position.

Canterbury heavy equipment moves — FAQs
Do you cover Canterbury and the rest of Kent?+
Yes — Canterbury is part of our regular Kent coverage. We mobilise local crews, the right trailer and lifting gear in one visit rather than splitting the job across subcontractors.
What kinds of equipment can you move in Canterbury?+
Most automotive and aerospace components kit, including undefined, lathes & turning centres and fork lift trucks. If you can describe the load and access, we can quote it.
How quickly can you get to Canterbury?+
Straightforward Canterbury collections are usually scheduled within a few working days. Abnormal loads need notice for route surveys and ESDAL — we'll confirm a realistic date when we quote.
Will multi-tenant unit access be a problem at our Canterbury site?+
Not normally. We survey first, choose the correct trailer (often a beavertail plant trailer) and bring skating gear so the load can be broken down into manageable moves on site.
Are you insured for work in Canterbury?+
Yes — goods-in-transit and public liability cover applies to every Canterbury job. Certificates and method statements are issued before mobilisation.
Do you handle installation as well as transport into Canterbury?+
We do. Crews disconnect at origin, transport into Canterbury, then re-position, level and bolt down so your undefined or production line is ready for commissioning on arrival.
