Heavy Machine Moving

Safe movement of industrial machines, production equipment, presses, generators, compressors, tanks, conveyors, fabrication equipment and heavy plant components.

Factory & Plant Relocation

Support for full or partial factory moves, plant upgrades, machine repositioning, equipment removal, production line relocation and industrial site changes.

Specialized Transport

Heavy equipment transport and abnormal load movement support for machinery that requires careful loading, route planning, securing and controlled delivery.

Crane-Assisted Loading

Mobile crane support for lifting machinery onto transport, offloading equipment on site, positioning heavy loads and assisting with difficult access projects.

Rigging & Lift Planning

Practical rigging support for lifting points, load control, safe handling, project preparation and the correct lifting method for each machine move.

Mining & Industrial Equipment

Machine moving and transport support for mines, processing plants, workshops, power stations, industrial plants and remote project environments.

Complete Lift, Move, Transport & Positioning Support

Many heavy machine moves require more than one service. The machine may need to be disconnected, lifted, moved out of a building, loaded onto transport, secured for travel, delivered to a new site, offloaded, positioned and aligned for installation. AC Crane Maintenance supports clients with a practical project approach that brings together mobile cranes, rigging teams, specialized transport and heavy lifting planning for smoother machinery relocation.
