Heavy Machinery Moving & Rigging Services

Equipment relocation is the process of disconnecting, dismantling, lifting, transporting, and reinstalling industrial machinery at a new position within a plant or at a different facility. It often includes rigging, millwright work, heavy haul logistics, alignment, and startup coordination. A qualified provider plans each phase carefully to reduce downtime, protect equipment, and maintain safety throughout the move.

IPS handles a wide range of industrial equipment, including die-casting machines, conveying systems, injection molding equipment, metal forming and stamping machinery, printing presses, furnaces, CNC machines, robotic welding cells, assembly lines, extrusion systems, and medical or lab equipment. Their team also supports complete facility relocations, not just single-machine moves.

IPS offers single-lift capabilities up to 800 tons, allowing the team to support demanding industrial lifting and transport projects. Actual lift planning depends on equipment dimensions, center of gravity, site access, floor conditions, and required rigging configuration. Every move is evaluated to match the right lifting equipment, crew expertise, and safety controls to the job.

Yes. IPS performs everything from moving one piece of equipment within an existing plant to relocating an entire production facility across state lines or internationally.

This flexibility helps clients manage expansions, consolidations, shutdowns, and production line changes through one provider.

Yes. IPS has experience with oversized load permitting, route coordination, and border-crossing logistics for machinery and equipment moves. The team supports intrastate, interstate, and out-of-country relocations, helping clients manage transportation requirements without unnecessary delays. Proper planning for permits, handling methods, and scheduling is essential when moving large industrial assets over long distances.

Downtime is reduced through detailed pre-planning, coordinated scheduling, disciplined execution, and integration of multiple services under one team. IPS structures projects to avoid gaps between dismantling, transport, rigging, installation, and alignment. By managing the move as a connected process, the company helps clients maintain production schedules, shorten restart timelines, and reduce costly interruptions.

Yes. IPS supports post-move equipment setting, installation, alignment, and leveling through its millwright capabilities. The team works closely with OEM specifications and uses precise instrumentation to help ensure tolerances are met. This is especially important for production equipment where improper placement or alignment can affect performance, reliability, safety, and startup readiness after relocation.

Look for proven industrial experience, strong safety practices, adequate lift capacity, transport and permitting knowledge, and the ability to coordinate multiple disciplines. A qualified provider should understand dismantling, rigging, hauling, installation, and alignment—not just transportation. It also helps to choose a company with turnkey project management so communication stays clear and accountability remains with one team.
