Factory removals & warehouse relocations

At JTS Relocations, we provide specialist factory and warehouse relocations, industrial machinery moves and specialist machinery shipping services for organisations across the UK and internationally.

From individual machines and production equipment through to complete factory, warehouse and industrial facility relocations, our experienced teams deliver carefully planned moves designed to minimise disruption, protect critical assets and coordinate safe onward transportation by road, sea and air freight where required.

We understand that industrial relocations are rarely straightforward. Tight timescales, operational downtime, heavy equipment, live environments, restricted access and business continuity pressures all require careful coordination, flexibility and experienced project management.

Our services include industrial equipment relocations, machinery export and import preparation, shipping documentation support, oversize cargo logistics, sea freight coordination and air freight solutions for high-value and specialist industrial assets. We also provide asset tracking solutions using telematics technology, helping clients maintain visibility and traceability throughout the relocation process.

Clients trust JTS Relocations because we understand the operational, logistical and safety challenges involved in complex industrial moves and work closely with site teams throughout all projects.

Project Snapshot

Specialist Industrial Relocation & Export Logistics

• Live manufacturing environment
• High-value industrial tooling & equipment
• Carefully controlled handling and asset tracking
• Bespoke foam lined timber crates designed around each individual piece of equipment
• Phased relocation programme
• Oversize cargo air freight coordination
• Sea freight export preparation
• Multi-stakeholder project management
• Completed within the agreed programme while maintaining safe working condition practices throughout

JTS Relocations was appointed to support the relocation and export preparation of specialist industrial tooling and production equipment from a live manufacturing environment as part of a major operational transition project.

The project involved the careful handling, inventory management, packaging and transportation of multiple high-value industrial assets, including oversized and sensitive components requiring specialist handling procedures.

Certain items required custom lifting plans and timed loading windows to align with ongoing manufacturing operations.

Working alongside the client’s operational teams and project stakeholders, JTS Relocations developed a phased relocation plan designed to minimise disruption while maintaining safe working practices throughout the programme.

The project included:

• Detailed asset identification and inventory control
• Specialist packing and protection methods
• Handling of heavy and awkward industrial equipment
• Secure loading and transportation
• Asset tracking with telematics throughout the relocation process
• Coordination with multiple stakeholders and site teams
• Preparation for international shipment
• Oversize cargo air freight coordination
• Sea freight export logistics support
• Strict adherence to site safety procedures and operational requirements

Due to the sensitive and technical nature of the project, additional care was taken to ensure full traceability and protection of all relocated assets throughout each stage of the move.

The project required close coordination between relocation teams, freight partners and operational stakeholders to ensure equipment was safely prepared for onward transport via both sea freight and oversize cargo air freight solutions.

The relocation programme was completed successfully, safely and within the required project timescales.
