Factory and industrial relocations need a clear scope. Start with your equipment list, site access and production schedule. We work through the moving requirements with you and identify specialist tasks before the plan is confirmed.
Industrial & Factory Moving. It starts with the details.
The right questions at the start make the next steps clearer. Explore the parts of your move we’ll plan together.
The distance changes. The care doesn’t.
START WITH THE FULL PICTURE.
Map the contents of each work area: furniture, tools, packed stock and equipment. Include dimensions, approximate weights and photographs so the move can be assessed against both sites’ access.
02 / THE EXPERIENCE
A clear plan. Care at every step.
From the first inventory to the receiving plan, each stage is built around your business.
01THE KRATOS EXPERIENCE
01 — SITE & EQUIPMENT
Start with the specifications.
List equipment dimensions, weights, handling points and the production areas involved. Share site plans, loading access and the shutdown window you are working toward.
Flag machinery that needs rigging, lifting, permits or a manufacturer-approved procedure. The right specialists and equipment must be agreed before scheduling.
Know the scope before the move.
02 — SHUTDOWN & HANDLING
Prepare before lifting.
Coordinate isolation, disconnection and preparation with your qualified trades and equipment suppliers. Identify which items can move only after those tasks are complete.
Agree packing, protection and the loading sequence for the approved inventory. Specialist machinery work is assessed separately from general moving.
A coordinated handover.
03 — PLACEMENT & RESTART
Plan beyond the unloading.
Mark the receiving locations and keep installation routes clear. Reconcile delivered items against the equipment list with your site contact.
Qualified technicians should reconnect, inspect and commission equipment before production restarts. Build that work into your relocation schedule.
Placement with the next stage in mind.
03 / BEFORE MOVING DAY
A little preparation. A smoother start.
Your staff, premises and equipment all play a part in the relocation. Give your team a shared inventory and a clear contact for moving-day decisions.
Start with the details below. Your Kratos agent will review the scope, access and timing with you before the move is confirmed.
THE TEAM BEHIND THE PROMISEKratos Moving
YOUR PREPARATION CHECKLIST
Good details. Better planning.
Document equipment dimensions, weights and handling instructions.
Share site plans, doorway clearances and loading access.
Identify the shutdown sequence and priority work areas.
Confirm who handles isolation, rigging and recommissioning.
04 / THE MOVING DIARIES
Every move has a story.
The boxes. The busy days. The fresh starts. Follow along for a closer look at moving day.
Can every machine be included in an industrial move?+
Equipment is assessed individually. Share its size, weight and handling requirements; specialist machinery transport or rigging is only included when specifically confirmed in the agreed scope.
Who disconnects and reconnects machinery?+
Your qualified equipment or facilities specialists should arrange the required disconnection and recommissioning. The moving schedule needs to account for this work at both sites.
Can you relocate workshop contents?+
We can review benches, tools, furniture, packed materials and other workshop contents. Provide an inventory so the team can confirm packing and handling requirements.
How do we reduce disruption to production?+
Start with the shutdown window and identify critical equipment and dependencies. We can discuss a phased moving sequence; the actual restart schedule also depends on your installation and commissioning teams.
What should be ready for a site assessment?+
An inventory, photographs, equipment specifications, access measurements and proposed dates. Flag anything unusually heavy, fixed in place or requiring specialist handling.
Is specialist work part of the initial quote?+
Only work explicitly described in the quote is included. Rigging, utilities, installation and similar tasks need a separate scope and confirmed responsibility before the move.
