Expert Equipment Relocation Services

Equipment relocation costs are typically based on the size and weight of the equipment, rigging requirements, transport distance, permitting needs, site access, and whether disconnection, reinstallation, or alignment services are included. A simple onsite move costs far less than a multi-state or cross-border relocation. IPS scopes each project carefully so clients can budget around labor, equipment, logistics, and downtime considerations.

Relocation specialists are usually priced according to the complexity of the move, crew size, specialty equipment required, and the disciplines involved, such as rigging, heavy haul, millwright work, or project management. Costs increase when projects involve oversized loads, border crossings, or tight production schedules. IPS provides coordinated support so clients can avoid unnecessary subcontractor overlap and reduce costly scheduling gaps.

IPS supports relocation for a wide range of industrial equipment, including die-casting machines, conveyors, injection molding systems, metal forming equipment, printing presses, furnaces, CNC machinery, robotic welding cells, assembly lines, extrusion systems, and medical or lab equipment. The team also handles broader facility relocation projects, from single assets to complete production operations requiring transport, rigging, and installation support.

Yes. IPS plans relocations around production priorities whenever possible to help minimize downtime and avoid unnecessary interruption to schedules. That can include phased moves, detailed sequencing, coordinated lifting and transport, and installation planning that supports faster restart. The company’s turnkey approach is designed to reduce handoff delays and keep critical project activities aligned from removal through reinstallation.

Yes. IPS has experience with oversized-load permitting and border-crossing logistics for equipment relocations throughout the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Cross-border projects require careful coordination of transport documentation, route planning, timing, and handling requirements. By managing those details as part of the relocation scope, IPS helps clients move heavy machinery more efficiently and with fewer administrative complications.

Yes. IPS provides crane and rigging services as part of many equipment relocation projects, which is essential for safely lifting, positioning, loading, and unloading heavy machinery. With single-lift capabilities up to 800 tons, the team can support demanding industrial moves that require specialized lifting plans, experienced operators, and precise handling to protect both equipment and surrounding facilities.

Yes. IPS can support post-move installation, setting, alignment, and leveling through its millwright capabilities. This is especially important for equipment that must meet OEM specifications and tight tolerances before returning to service. Using precise alignment and leveling instrumentation, the team helps ensure relocated machinery is positioned correctly and ready for startup with fewer performance or reliability issues.

To prepare for a quote, gather the equipment type, dimensions, weight, current and destination locations, desired timeline, site access details, utility disconnect requirements, and any special handling concerns. It also helps to note whether you need rigging, transport, storage, reinstallation, or project management. The more complete the project information, the more accurately IPS can define scope, scheduling, and resource needs.
