After several weeks planning the move we began dismantling the machine not only so that it was small enough for transport but also safe enough. Delicate parts of the machine either were removed or suitably braced to cope with the shock loads it could be subject to over its 350 mile journey south.
Once the machine was suitably packed on the truck it was time to head on to its new location and prepare for unloading at the other end. This required planning the trucks route as near to the final location as possible, checking for suitable amount of space and sufficient ground conditions. Then it was essential to map the machine interface points so that final positioning was perfect, and that its connections to the mains water, drain, steam, air and electricity could be made with no alterations.
Finally once the body of the machine was in place, it then required re-assembly and testing. The move from one site to the next took a total of two weeks.

Machinery Move 2015
We were required to move a large piece of machinery from one location in the north of England to the south coast. This required labeling and dismantling the machine, loading it on a specialist truck, shipping it to the new location and re-assembling. Then finally run testing on the equipment to ensure it is ready for use.
