Heavy Equipment Movers in Wigan
Our Wigan heavy haulage operation supports aerospace components and metal fabrication clients across the surrounding region, with crews who know mezzanine drops and the trailer mix required to get awkward loads in and out of working Wigan sites without disruption.
What we move in Wigan
Recent Wigan projects have included press brakes & hydraulic presses, lathes & turning centres and fork lift trucks — each planned around the site survey, lift study and the right combination of drawbar combination transport and on-site skating gear. Where Wigan access is restricted, we phase the move into smaller drops rather than forcing oversized vehicles into unsuitable approaches.
Plant transport across Wigan
Tracked and wheeled plant collected from Wigan sites and delivered on the correct drawbar combination, with strap-down points and edge protection rated for the load.
Machinery moves in the surrounding region
Disconnect, skate, transport and re-install of production equipment for aerospace components and warehousing & 3PL operators around Wigan.
Factory & line relocations
Phased strip-out and rebuild — ideal for Wigan 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 mezzanine drops in Wigan.
Rigging & precision skating
Indoor moves of transformers & switchgear through Wigan 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 Wigan.

How a Wigan move runs
Every Wigan 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 Wigan, a nominated lift supervisor runs the job, documents each step and signs the equipment over commissioned in its new position.

Wigan heavy equipment moves — FAQs
Do you cover Wigan and the rest of the surrounding region?+
Yes — Wigan is part of our regular the surrounding region 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 Wigan?+
Most aerospace components and metal fabrication kit, including press brakes & hydraulic presses, 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 Wigan?+
Straightforward Wigan 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 mezzanine drops be a problem at our Wigan site?+
Not normally. We survey first, choose the correct trailer (often a drawbar combination) and bring skating gear so the load can be broken down into manageable moves on site.
Are you insured for work in Wigan?+
Yes — goods-in-transit and public liability cover applies to every Wigan job. Certificates and method statements are issued before mobilisation.
Do you handle installation as well as transport into Wigan?+
We do. Crews disconnect at origin, transport into Wigan, then re-position, level and bolt down so your press brakes & hydraulic presses or production line is ready for commissioning on arrival.
