Machine Moves & Factory Relocations

Safe, Reliable Machinery Moves Across the UK

Whether you're relocating a single machine or an entire production facility, our experienced team handles every stage — from disconnection and loading to transport, reinstallation, and recommissioning.

Specialist Machinery Relocation You Can Rely On

Moving industrial machinery is a complex, high-stakes operation. A poorly planned move can result in damage to expensive equipment, costly downtime, and delays to your production schedule. That's why it pays to work with specialists who understand the machinery and the process.

At ILEX Machinery, we have over 32 years of experience handling woodworking and industrial machinery. We plan every move carefully, use the right equipment for the job, and work efficiently to get your machines back up and running as quickly as possible.

What's Included

Pre-Move Survey & Planning

We assess your site, machinery, and access routes before the move to identify any challenges and plan the safest, most efficient approach.

Transport & Logistics

We coordinate all transport logistics, including specialist haulage for large or heavy machines. UK-wide coverage with experienced drivers and the right vehicles for the load.

Reinstallation & Levelling

Precise reinstallation at the new location, including levelling, alignment, and mechanical reconnection to manufacturer specification.
