Expert Industrial and Machinery Relocation
Moving heavy industrial equipment and manufacturing machinery is a complex logistical challenge that goes far beyond standard commercial moving. Homepac Express offers industrial and plant machinery relocation services designed to safely dismantle, transport, and reinstall heavy assets for factories, workshops, and industrial plants across India. We combine heavy-duty logistics with careful project management. Whether you are relocating a single piece of heavy machinery or shifting an entire production line to a new facility, we coordinate the specialized equipment and trained personnel required to execute the move safely and with minimal operational downtime.
What This Service Includes
Industrial relocation demands rigorous planning and the right mechanical assistance. Our service manages the heavy lifting from start to finish.
- Site Survey and Risk Assessment: We conduct a thorough assessment of both the origin and destination sites, identifying load-bearing constraints, exit routes, and the necessary heavy lifting equipment.
- Heavy Machinery Handling: We coordinate the necessary lifting tools—such as forklifts, heavy-duty jacks, and cranes—to safely lift and move oversized manufacturing equipment. Our engineering team will confirm the exact equipment capacity required for your specific move during the site survey.
- Industrial Packing and Crating: Sensitive machine components, control panels, and robotics are packed using anti-corrosive materials and custom-built wooden crates to prevent transit damage.
- Specialised Transport: We deploy open flatbed trailers, low-bed trailers, or heavy-duty enclosed trucks depending on the dimensions and weight of your machinery.
- Unloading and Placement: At the new facility, we safely offload the equipment and precisely position it according to your new floor plan.
Who is this For
This service is built for the industrial and manufacturing sectors where standard moving trucks are insufficient.
- Manufacturing Plants: Factories relocating entire production or assembly lines to new industrial zones.
- Workshops and Engineering Firms: Businesses moving heavy lathes, CNC machines, milling equipment, or industrial presses.
- Warehouses: Facilities relocating heavy racking systems, industrial generators, and material handling equipment.
- Construction and Mining: Moving heavy earth-moving equipment or oversized site materials.
Our Industrial Moving Process
We treat industrial relocation as a highly orchestrated project, prioritizing safety and compliance at every step.
Project Consultation
We meet with your facility managers and engineers to understand the exact specifications of the machinery and the required timeline.
Logistics Planning
We map the transport route, acquire any necessary highway permits for oversized loads, and schedule the required lifting equipment.
Decommissioning and Prep
Your engineers decommission the machines; our crew then drains fluids (if required), secures loose parts, and builds custom crates for sensitive components.
Lifting and Loading
Using coordinated forklifts or cranes, the heavy machinery is carefully loaded onto the appropriate trailers and strapped down using industrial-grade heavy chains and tensioners.
Transit
The convoy travels to the destination, strictly adhering to road safety regulations for heavy loads.
Offloading and Positioning
The machinery is offloaded and moved into the new facility. We position it exactly where required, leaving it ready for your technicians to reconnect and commission.
What's Included vs. Excluded
Due to the specialized nature of machinery, we define our operational boundaries clearly.
- Supply of heavy-duty transport vehicles (flatbeds/trailers).
- Coordination of standard lifting equipment (forklifts, jacks) for loading/unloading.
- Custom crating for sensitive parts.
- Precise placement at the destination.
- Mechanical Decommissioning/Commissioning: We do not dismantle the internal mechanics of the machinery, nor do we reconnect electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic systems at the destination. Your engineers must handle decommissioning before we load and commissioning after we place it.
- Hazardous Materials: We do not transport industrial chemicals, raw toxic materials, or active hazardous waste.
- Civil Work: If walls need to be knocked down or foundations poured to accommodate the machinery, this must be completed by civil contractors prior to our arrival.
Pricing Factors
Industrial moves are highly customized, and pricing reflects the unique requirements of the project.
- Weight and Dimensions: The sheer tonnage and physical footprint of the machinery determine the type of trailer required and whether special highway permits are needed.
- Lifting Equipment Required: The cost of hiring specialized high-capacity cranes or specialized rigging teams significantly impacts the final quote.
- Distance and Route Complexity: Moving oversized loads across state borders may require pilot vehicles, specific route surveys, and adherence to restricted travel hours, all of which affect pricing.
Guaranteed Reliability
Transit Insurance
We offer comprehensive transit insurance options to protect your capital equipment against severe road accidents or total loss during transit (standard rate of 3% of declared value).
Compliance
Our heavy transport fleet operates within strict national freight and IBA-approved guidelines, ensuring legal compliance across all state borders.
GST-Billed
All industrial relocation projects are fully GST-billed, providing the necessary documentation for your corporate accounting.
Do you dismantle the machinery before moving it?
No. While we can unbolt machinery from the floor and package its components, the actual mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic decommissioning must be performed by your specialized technicians or the manufacturer's engineers before we arrive.
Can you move oversized machinery that doesn't fit in a standard truck?
Yes. We utilise open flatbed and low-bed trailers for oversized or abnormally shaped equipment that cannot be loaded into an enclosed container.
Do you provide the cranes for loading and unloading?
Yes, we coordinate the necessary lifting equipment, including forklifts and cranes, based on the site survey and the weight of the machinery. Our logistics team secures the right heavy-lifting resources for your specific project.
