How Do You Move Heavy Industrial Equipment?

Life would be much easier if you could simply back up a U-Haul truck and roll your heavy industrial equipment onto it. The fact of the matter is that most machinery and equipment weren’t originally designed with ease of moving in mind.

Adding to the challenge is that many of these machines are highly calibrated and very sensitive to vibrations and other disturbances. One small bump on the road to the end destination could cause it to require expensive and time-consuming recalibration.

The following guide will give you a good idea of how to plan and successfully move heavy industrial equipment.

How To Successfully Relocate Your Factory

Moving an entire factory is a massive undertaking fraught with logistical difficulties, safety hazards, and unforeseen challenges. Adding to the immense pressure is the obvious fact that companies lose many millions of dollars during a production line shutdown.

The good news is that there is a definite method to follow when relocating your factory. At IRH, we have decades of experience helping small and large factories relocate under very tight deadlines. Read on to discover how to successfully relocate your factory full of heavy industrial machinery.

Different Types of Rigging Equipment

Choosing the right rigging equipment is imperative when moving heavy objects and machinery. Using the wrong tools for the job means you run the very real risk of damaging whatever you’re moving. Even more critical is knowing exactly how to use rigging equipment correctly.
