Specialist Garden Stoneware Relocations
At JTS Relocations, no two moves are ever the same – and that includes moving heavy and fragile garden stoneware. Recently, our team was tasked with transporting 10 large stone troughs over 200 miles to their new home.
Due to access restrictions, we used a smaller vehicle to carefully tranship the troughs one by one before loading them onto our larger truck. This vehicle, equipped with a 6-tonne full closure tail lift and air ride suspension, provided the perfect combination of safety and stability for transporting these irreplaceable, sentimentally valued items.
Stone troughs are both heavy and often extremely fragile. After years of exposure to the UK’s rain and frosts, even the toughest stone can develop weaknesses. That’s why specialist handling and knowledge of safe lifting practices are absolutely essential.
Our team comes fully equipped with industry-leading tools to handle such challenges, including:
- Heavy-duty mini forklifts – perfect for manoeuvring through tight gaps.
- Stair robots – capable of carrying up to a tonne up or down steps and stairs while keeping the load level.
- Standard stair climbers & heavy-duty skates – for smooth and safe handling.
- Protective ground coverings – ensuring your lawns, patios, and gravel remain undamaged throughout the move.
- Mobile Gantry – For larger statues in separate parts or those with plinths, our mobile gantry with chain hoist can lift heavy items with ease, where difficult access prevents the use of other equipment.
- Hiab Vehicle-Mounted Cranes – for the really difficult access or larger projects, our qualified and skilled crane operators can safely lift and move extraordinarily heavy items.
Whether it’s stone troughs, statues, or any other specialist garden features, including statues, our expert team ensures they are relocated with the utmost care and professionalism.
At JTS Relocations, we don’t just move items – we move your valued possessions safely, securely, and with total peace of mind.
