    Full CNC Machine Move Package

    Our comprehensive CNC machine moving service is carried out with precision from start to finish, ensuring that your machines are relocated safely and are set up to perform at optimal levels.

    1. Pre-Move Alignment Check
      Before moving any CNC machine, our CNC engineers perform a complete alignment check on the machine to ensure its current settings are accurate. This step is crucial for preserving the machine’s performance after the move.
    2. Transporting the CNC Machine
      Once de-commissioning is completed, we transport the CNC machine using specialized lifting equipment that we organize and provide. Our experienced movers ensure that your machine is safely loaded and moved to its new location without any risk of damage.
    3. Chemical Anchoring for Stability
      Upon arrival at the new location, the machine is securely anchored to concrete or similar substrates. We drill into the floor, filling the hole with a resin before inserting the stud. This chemical anchoring process ensures that the hole is airtight, providing 100% adhesion for added strength and stability.
    4. Post-Move Geometry Check
      After the CNC machine is relocated, we conduct a full geometry check to guarantee the machine’s accuracy is maintained or even improved. This step is critical in ensuring that your equipment continues to produce precise results, even after being moved.
    5. Re-Commissioning
      Finally, once the machine has been anchored and the geometry checked, we proceed with the re-commissioning process. This includes recalibrating the machine and ensuring it is ready for use in production.

    CNC Machine Movers FAQ's

    We carry out a method and risk assessment, use purpose-built lifting equipment and secure anchoring techniques to ensure the safe transport of your CNC machine.

    We aim to minimise downtime by coordinating the move in stages, especially for large-scale facility moves. This ensures production can continue with minimal disruption.

    The duration of the move depends on its size and complexity. A standard machine relocation typically takes a few days to get your equipment back into production. However, larger facility moves may involve months of planning, as specific machines are moved at scheduled times to ensure production is maintained at both locations. This process will be carefully planned and agreed upon before proceeding. We provide a detailed timeline prior to starting the move.

    Yes, we specialise in internal moves as well, whether it’s for reorganisation, creating machining cells, or relocating machines for any other purpose within your existing facility.

    Our process includes a full alignment check, safe transportation using specialist lifting equipment, chemical anchoring to secure the machine in place, a geometry check to ensure accuracy, and re-commissioning to ensure the machine is fully operational.
