Mechanical Movement / Lift & Shift Services in London
Mechanical Movement, often referred to as “lift and shift”, involves the transportation of heavy plant equipment in areas where cranes cannot reach. Whether you need internal machinery moved within your current facility or relocated to a completely new site, our professional lift and shift services are here to help. 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, our lift and shift services in and around London provide the expertise and equipment to safely execute even the most challenging moves. When you choose us for your lift and shift machinery projects, you can be confident of a professional and reliable service.
How Mechanical Movement Works
Every mechanical movement project is unique. 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 make your machinery relocation straightforward. With our team of professional machinery movers in the UK, you can rest assured that we will find the safest and most efficient solution for your project.
What is Included in our Mechanical Movement Services in London
When you use our lift and shift services, 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 skilled team members to carry out your mechanical relocation safely and efficiently. Our thorough preparation guarantees that all lift and shift projects across London run on schedule and maximise productivity.
