Critical equipment projects succeed in the planning phase. Before machinery is disconnected or moved, Machine Logistics evaluates the origin and destination conditions, equipment configuration, utilities, access, sequencing, lifting requirements, transportation constraints, and installation requirements.

 

Pre-Project Evaluation

• Equipment surveys and condition assessments

• Production-line layout, sequencing, access-route and clearance review

• Utility mapping: electrical, controls/data, compressed air, water, gas, hydraulic and pneumatic systems

• Floor loading, foundations, pits, anchoring systems and destination access

• Crane, gantry, forklift and rigging-access studies

• OEM manuals, drawings, tolerances and disassembly requirements

• Project sequencing, lift plans, method statements and Job Safety Analyses (JSAs)

 

Controlled Deinstallation

• Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), energy isolation and controlled system shutdown

• Electrical and controls disconnection with cable identification and labeling

• Hydraulic, pneumatic and mechanical energy discharge

• Fluid draining and appropriate environmental handling

• Precision disassembly with match-marking of assemblies

• Removal and protection of tooling, servo motors, gearboxes, robotics and automation components as required

• Photo documentation, component inventories, identification tags and preservation preparation

Documented at origin. Controlled through every phase. Prepared for accurate reinstallation.

HEAVY RIGGING, EXPORT CRATING & CRITICAL TRANSPORT

​

Once equipment is prepared, handling and protection become the priority. Machine Logistics coordinates lifting, rigging, preservation, crating, loading and transportation around the equipment's weight, geometry, sensitivity, value and final destination.

Rigging & Precision Handling

• Verified equipment weights, load calculations and center-of-gravity analysis

• Mobile and overhead cranes, hydraulic gantries, specialty forklifts, air skates and machinery dollies

• Custom lifting beams, fixtures and engineered lifting devices when required

• Floor-loading verification, controlled travel paths and redundant safety controls

• Handling of CNC equipment, presses, robotics, automated lines and high-value tight-tolerance machinery

 

Export-Grade Protection & Crating

• Custom skids and full-encasement crates engineered for equipment dimensions, weight and handling points

• ISPM-15 compliant heat-treated lumber for international shipments

• VCI/corrosion protection, desiccants, moisture barriers and vacuum sealing when required

• Internal blocking, bracing, shock isolation and securement

• Shock and tilt indicators where appropriate

• Open-top, container and flat-rack loading with load distribution, lashing and tie-down planning

 

Nationwide & International Logistics

• Oversize and heavy-haul routing coordination

• Covered, air-ride and specialized machinery transportation as project conditions require

• Ocean, air, rail and road transportation coordination

• Export documentation and HS classification support

• Port, terminal, customs-broker and freight-forwarder coordination

• Temporary import/re-export and cargo-risk considerations when applicable

One coordinated project. Fewer handoffs. Protection designed around the equipment.

 

CORPORATE & IT REMOVALS, RELOCATIONS, CRATING & SETUP

 

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

 

 

Corporate and IT relocations require a different kind of precision. Business-critical systems must be identified, sequenced, protected, transported and re-established with clear asset control and minimal disruption. Machine Logistics can coordinate the physical relocation scope from removal through destination placement and setup support.

 

Origin Removal & Asset Control

• Pre-move site review, access planning and relocation sequencing

• Coordination with client IT personnel, integrators and other technical stakeholders

• Asset identification, labeling, inventory and photographic documentation

• Controlled removal of servers, racks, cabinets, network hardware, UPS equipment and related technical assets

• Protection of cables, accessories, components and associated hardware for organized reinstallation

 

Technical Packing, Crating & Transport

• Anti-static and equipment-appropriate protective materials where required

• Custom crates, skids, shock protection and internal blocking for sensitive technical equipment

• Moisture and environmental protection appropriate to transport duration and mode

• Controlled loading, securement and transportation coordination

• Sequenced delivery planning so critical assets arrive in the order required for destination setup

 

Destination Placement & Setup Support

• Receiving, unloading and controlled movement into the destination facility

• Rack, cabinet and equipment positioning according to approved layouts

• Reassembly and physical installation support

• Coordination with client IT teams for reconnection, testing and system activation

• Final asset reconciliation and removal of packing/crating materials as required

From equipment removal and protection to destination placement and setup — one coordinated relocation scope.

 

LABORATORY, SCIENTIFIC & SENSITIVE TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT

 

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

 

Laboratory and scientific equipment can combine precision mechanics, electronics, optics, calibration requirements and high replacement values. These relocations require careful documentation, controlled handling, specialized protection and close coordination with laboratory personnel, OEM technicians and destination teams.

Planning & Preparation

• Equipment inventory, condition documentation and relocation sequencing

• Review of OEM handling, orientation and environmental requirements

• Utility, access, doorway, elevator and destination-placement review

• Coordination for decontamination, shutdown or specialist preparation when required by the equipment or facility

Protection & Relocation

• Controlled disconnection and component identification within the agreed project scope

• Custom packing, skidding or crating based on equipment sensitivity

• Shock, vibration, moisture and orientation considerations

• Specialized handling and transportation coordination for delicate instrumentation

• Chain-of-custody and asset-control documentation when required

Destination Setup

• Controlled unloading and final-room placement

• Reassembly and physical setup support

• Utility and specialist coordination

• OEM or client-team support for calibration, validation and return to service

Sensitive assets require more than transportation — they require controlled handling from laboratory to laboratory.

 

DESTINATION INSTALLATION, ALIGNMENT & PRODUCTION READINESS

 

​​​​​​​​​​​​​

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Arrival at the destination is only one milestone. Destination readiness should be verified before the equipment arrives so installation can proceed without avoidable delays. Machine Logistics coordinates the physical placement, assembly and installation support required to move the project toward production readiness.

 

Destination Site Readiness

• Foundations, pits, anchor locations and structural requirements

• Access routes, floor-loading and equipment staging

• Utility locations and termination readiness

• Installation sequencing and production-line layout verification

• Coordination of structural modifications and environmental or vibration-control requirements when applicable

 

Mechanical & Electrical Installation

• Precision positioning, leveling, anchoring and grouting

• Mechanical assembly, conveyor installation and automation integration

• Laser alignment and tolerance verification where required

• Electrical power and controls installation support

• Control-panel, cable and safety-circuit reconnection within project scope

 

Commissioning & Start-Up Support

• Support for dry runs and no-load testing

• Safety, sensor and interlock verification in coordination with responsible technical teams

• Functional testing and trial-production support

• OEM, controls-engineer, plant-team and maintenance coordination

• Punch-list completion and final project documentation

 

The objective is not simply to move equipment. It is to protect the asset, the schedule and the path back to production.

A SINGLE COORDINATED PROJECT — ORIGIN TO DESTINATION

Machine Logistics brings deinstallation, dismantling, machinery moving, rigging, export preparation, crating, specialized transportation, destination handling and installation support into one coordinated project structure. This reduces unnecessary handoffs, communication gaps and scheduling conflicts while maintaining clear responsibility throughout the relocation.
