Machine Moving Services and Rigging

As one of the best machinery moving companies in Rockford, our teams of heavy machinery movers are capable of moving anything up to about 100 tons with our own equipment. Moving heavy machinery is not an easy task. Our machinery movers will assist in taking down, disassembly, and of course, moving it out or placing it somewhere new in your facility. We will move your equipment into place, anchor it, level it, and get it ready to run. If you need us to ensure it is fully operational, we can provide that service as well. Our heavy haul trucking service provides full-service solutions for our client’s projects, from source to installation. We have a unique capacity to overcome all of your freight management obstacles. We provide heavy-haul tractors and trailers as well as dry, refrigerated, and temperature protected commodities and sensitive medical equipment. Our fleet covers an extensive range so that you can count on reasonable prices with our trucking service.
Office Moving

Your commercial move differs significantly from your residential move. Not only are the actual items to be moved differently (files, paperwork, desks, technology), but the amount of time you have to get your business back up and running is minimal. Our machine movers understand that time is of the essence, and you need your staff ready to go ASAP. We have the materials needed to relocate an entire office of 10 desks or 200 desks. From your biggest filing cabinets to the thumbtacks in your wall. Our guys will take care of packing, wrapping, moving, and locating all of your office equipment quickly and effectively.
