Why choose us for your move?
King Machinery Moving have provided us with a superb professional service for over 20 years now. The staff are all very courteous, competent and efficient and most importantly the rates were reasonable with no damage to our goods. I would highly recommend this company and will also use them again in the future.
I highly recommend King Machinery Moving for moving or relocation of any machinery or equipment. The team have moved all our machinery both new and old over the last 25 years. They are very experienced and knowledgeable and carry out the work in a safe and efficient manner at a time that fits our production schedule.
I was hugely impressed with the way King Machinery Moving always looked for a solution to the many problems we found ourselves in during this project. It was very apparent that they wanted the job done properly, irrespective of the increased workload that was forced upon them. I was very impressed with the flexibility they afforded the project. Without their support, there is zero doubt that we would have missed our shipping dates.

Machinery Moving Solutions
This is our basic service with our team simply jacking and skating machines into place, however the more difficult jobs require our team to use specialised AirSkates to complete the move. This service is often combined with another service (usually Machine Transportation/Relocation) and will most likely need the use of a forklift also.
Relevant Industry: ALL (We have different equipment for some industries but the service is common across them all)
Relevant Machinery Type: Any machine/equipment which can’t be lifted/picked directly by a forklift or crane.
“We used King Machinery Moving’s Jacking & Skating service to install our new Press Brake and Guillotine. We cannot recommend their services highly enough, PJ and the team went out of their way to accommodate us and the whole operation was carried out safely, professionally and at the highest standard. We will be using KMS for any similar projects in future.” Mark Byrne, Equine Engineering, Ballinasloe, Co. Galway

We would highly recommend them” David Conroy, Director – MJ Conroy, Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo

Often, we are required to unload the machinery/ equipment at the final destination and install it for our client. This service usually requires only a forklift to load the machine and is regularly combined with our Jacking & Skating service (Option 1) to remove/install the machinery before/after transportation.

“We have used King Machinery Moving to Transport Machinery from one premises to another for a client on several occasions.

With a recent client, KMS Jacked & Skated the machinery outside, loaded and secured it properly before transporting it to another destination and unloading and installing it for the client safely. We would highly recommend their services” Colin Black, MTT (Machine Tool Technologies), Limerick
Additional ServicesHere is a list of the additional services we offer which are combined with our Moving Solutions
We work with an expert affiliate of ours to provide quality services such as:
This ensures that your machinery/equipment is safely transported without any damage.
We have a private, secure warehousing facility solely for the purpose of storing our clients’ machinery prior to or during a move. This can be used both short term & long term and King Machinery Moving will pick, deliver and install the machine via the warehouse if necessary.
Clients generally use this service for the following:
We provide specialist transportation services for machines/equipment which needs to be exported from Ireland, usually due to the sale of a machine or factory relocation. Our team on the ground carefully load and pack the machinery/ equipment in the required way usually in containers or crates, while our project managers liaise with the transport company and work with our clients to organise the shipping and freight forwarding aspect of the move.
We offer this service to some clients who are carrying out “small In-House” moving jobs themselves but need expertise to ensure it is done right. King Machinery Moving will provide a project manager and will also assist with method statements, risk assessments and the relevant paperwork. We can offer consultancy also for those planning to move machinery/equipment but need advice on the matter prior to making the big decision. We can also provide employees in the same way such as hiring “Riggers” to help our clients complete their own rigging services.
We work closely with a local affiliate to offer a range of forklifts which can be provided and delivered to our clients for both short term & long-term periods. Due to the combined range that King Machinery Moving and our affiliates have, we can offer an extensive range of forklifts from standard diesel to electric (ideal for cleanroom) and even specialised pick & carry cranes.
Specialised Moving Equipment ListHere is some of the equipment we use to complete each job
King Machinery Moving has an exceptional collection of jacking and skating equipment that allows our team to handle up to 80 Tonnes. Jacks and skates allow us to easily lift your machinery/equipment and move it safely to an area where we can then pick it by forklift/crane. We also have specialised AirSkates which allow us to move within cleanrooms and complete seemingly impossible moves. We are constantly updating and replacing our range to ensure our equipment is at the highest standards.
We have a range of skates that work by using high air pressure to make the machine “hover”. These highly specialised skates allow us to move machinery/equipment in sensitive areas such as cleanrooms or factory production floors, minimising the use of tools and forklifts leaving no trace. By combining Portable Air Systems with an electric forklift with no emissions we can move heavy duty machinery without causing any damage to sensitive factory environments. Why not search Youtube to see them in action: Moving a 10 Tonne Machine (BY HAND!!)
King Machinery Moving has a long-established relationship with a local forklift specialist and other Irish moving companies so we have access to a large range of forklifts, versalifts, pick & carry cranes & more. Currently we have a range of heavy duty Diesel & Electric Forklifts which we use for those “tough, heavy” jobs, a specialised 4.5T High-Lift Electric Forklift for smaller moves and an Electric Pick & Carry Crane for those very difficult moves.
We also have an 8T Electric forklift for heavy indoor moves and a 7T Diesel Forklift for heavy outdoor moves.
This is without doubt our most specialised piece of equipment. It is low impact, clean, electric and compact. It has the ability to lift 12 Tonne where clients would normally require crane and forklift combinations, whilst being small enough to enter most areas. We also rent this piece of equipment to some clients who use it for problems such as machine maintenance & more.
We are very proud of our fleet of truck & vans. Our team are self-sufficient on a moving job and will arrive at the clients’ facility prepared for all outcomes. Our truck has been rebuilt to carry our own forklifts, cranes and moving equipment whilst also fulfilling most of our clients’ machine transportation needs. Our highly qualified team will arrive with vans stocked with general lifting equipment and any specialised equipment we may need. Any additional services such as crane hire, machine crating or heavy haulage transportation/logistics will be organised through our affiliates for the client.
