Not every moving company is suitably capable of safely and efficiently executing factory or warehouse relocation. To successfully do so, it requires detailed planning, specialist equipment and prior experience. Allied Pickfords is a company that has experience and equipment to deal with all manner of industrial relocation and the track record to prove it.

Because Allied Pickfords have been involved in so many factory and warehouse relocations, we fully appreciate that a primary requirement is to keep downtime to a minimum. For this reason, our Project Management Team will work with you to develop a pre-move plan that encompasses well considered sequential moving of plant and equipment, stock and materials. We thrive on challenge and have the experience to handle any project no matter the size.

Receipt, handling, storage and distribution of all new furniture and effects to each room can also be provided. We even remove all of the protective packing materials.

UNIVERSITY AND SCHOOL RELOCATION 

Limited Disruption

When moving a department, campus or school it is important to keep disruption to a minimum.

After establishing well constructed plans, we will perform the relocation with minimal disruption in an efficient and effective manner.

The sequential transfer of libraries and archives requires specialised processes and skills. This is ensured by the use of specialised library trolleys and unique cataloguing systems that enable all documents and files to be relocated in sequence.

HOSPITAL/DELICATE CARE

Specialised Care of Equipment and Patients

Hospital relocations can involve two areas that require special attention, the first where patients are involved and the second where specialist medical equipment is involved. As with all moves, hospital moves are also time critical. The cost of downtime has ramifications far greater than pure economic expense. When moving hospitals we focus our attention on managing people as well as equipment in a timely manner and we understand that at times we will need to work in special and sometimes sterile environments.
