What is a Mechanical Movement?

Mechanical Movement / Lift & Shift Services In London

Mechanical Movement is more commonly known as “Lift & Shift”. It involves the transportation of heavy plant equipment within an area that is inaccessible to cranes. If you have internal machinery that needs to be relocated within its current facility, or to an entirely new one, then you may benefit from our professional lift and shift services. It is not the size, weight or shape of the lift that determines the need for this specialist service, but rather the complexity of the lift and the detailed planning required for the transporting of the heavy equipment. At Emerson, we are able to provide the solution to these complex lifts with our lift and shift services operating in and around London. When you choose us for your lift and shift applications, we will always deliver.

How Mechanical Movement Works

No two mechanical movement projects are the same. At Emerson Cranes we stock a fleet of mini cranes, heavy haul transportation and manual handling and lifting equipment, (such as skates and jacks) to help with your project. Make light work of your lift and shift requirements. You can rest assured that Emerson will find a solution.

What is Included in our Mechanical Movement Services in London

When using our mechanical movement service, you will be assigned a dedicated Appointed Person (AP) for your project. They will conduct a site visit, complete a set of RAMS (Risk Assessment & Method Statement), and, if necessary, arrange any road closures, permits and traffic management documentation.

We will then ensure that you have the correct lifting equipment and mechanical handling team to execute the movement operation. We prepare thoroughly before carrying out our lift and shift services across London to ensure that everything runs on schedule and that productivity is maximised.
