What we do

Out, across, and back up

Most of our work is industrial — manufacturers, machine shops, and warehouses with something heavy that has to come out, go somewhere else, or get put back together properly.

Removal & decommissioning

If it's bolted down, wired in, or holding up a floor, we can get it out. Machines, ovens, cranes, conveyors, racking, mezzanines.

Machinery decommissioning
Structural takedown
Building cleanouts
Scrap handling and disposal

Forklift loading industrial equipment onto a lowboy trailer

Moving & transport

One machine across the floor, or a whole plant across the state. We plan the move around your production schedule, not ours.

In-plant moves and full relocations
Oversized and over-length loads
Auction pickups
Skidding, crating, load and unload
Short and long-term storage

Haas machining centre set and levelled on a shop floor

Installation & millwright

Setting it down is the easy half. Level, anchored and square is the part that decides whether it runs right.

Machine setting and levelling
Anchor bolts and baseplates
Bridge cranes and jib cranes
Conveyor installation

Pallet racking reinstalled in a warehouse

Warehouse & storage systems

Pallet rack, shelving, mezzanines and caging. We lay it out, install it, repair it, or pull it down and put it back somewhere else.

Rack design and layout
Rack and shelving installation
Repair and upright replacement
Mezzanine decking and guardrail
Tool crib caging and partitions
Dock equipment

Two things worth knowing

Before you budget the job

We're an approved auction rigger

We're on the approved rigger list for many area auctions. Win the lot and we'll handle the teardown, the loading, and getting it to wherever it's going — without you finding a rigger at short notice.

Removal doesn't have to cost you

We buy surplus equipment outright, or discount its value against the cost of taking it out. Before you write a cheque to have something removed, it's worth asking what it's worth.

What we'll need to know

What it isMake and model if you have it, otherwise a description.
Roughly what it weighsA guess is fine. Nameplate weight if it's on there.
Coming out, going in, or bothAnd where it's going if it's moving.
How it gets in and outLoading dock? Stairs? How wide is the doorway? This is the part that decides the price.
When you need it doneAnd whether production is stopped until it is.
PhotosOne of the equipment, one of the space it has to fit through. Answers half our questions on its own.
