Industrial Equipment and Machinery Moving in Rhode Island

Moving machinery is a scheduling problem as much as a lifting problem: every day a line or a shop is down costs money. Correira Brothers’ Moving & Storage relocates industrial equipment, machinery and heavy tools for businesses in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut, with a moving plan built around your production schedule.

Our crews are trained in proper lifting and securing techniques, and we work with you to map out the move before anything is unplugged. We are licensed, bonded and insured, and we have warehouses in Providence, RI and Fall River, MA.

For a move that also includes offices and furniture, see our commercial movers page.

Industrial Moving Services

Manufacturing and production equipment

Production machines, assembly equipment, benches and fixtures, moved in the sequence that lets you restart in the new space as quickly as possible.

Machine shops and industrial tools

Machine tools, presses, compressors, tool chests and shop equipment, wrapped, secured and labeled for reinstallation. Send us the make, model, weight and dimensions of each piece when you request a quote.

Construction and contractor equipment

Contractor shops, yards and storage spaces, including heavy tools, equipment racks and materials.

Warehouse and distribution equipment

Shelving, racking, work tables and supplies. For a whole-warehouse relocation, see our warehousing and FF&E logistics and shipping and receiving services.

Facility and plant relocations

Multi-day, multi-crew moves from one industrial space to another, planned in phases so part of your operation can keep running.

Custom crating

Machinery with delicate components, exposed controls or an awkward shape can be protected with custom crating, built to the dimensions of each item.

IT and control equipment

Computers, servers and networking gear that support your operation, packed with anti-static materials and moved with the rest of the job.

How We Plan an Industrial Move

Step 1: Site survey and equipment list

We review each piece, its weight and dimensions, the route out of the building, doorways, floor loads, dock heights and what is waiting at the new site. Photos and a floor plan help us quote accurately.

Step 2: Disconnect and reinstall coordination

Electrical, gas, air and hydraulic connections, calibration and commissioning should be handled by qualified trades or the equipment manufacturer. We schedule the move around their visits. If a job needs a crane or specialized rigging, tell us in your quote request and we will coordinate it as part of the plan.

Step 3: Protection and securing

We pad, wrap, crate and strap equipment to suit its weight and fragility, and we protect floors, walls and doorframes along the route.

Step 4: Loading and transport

Equipment is lifted, loaded and secured in the truck, and driven to your new facility.

Step 5: Placement at the new site

We place each machine on your layout so your technicians can level, connect and test it.

Step 6: Storage if the new space is not ready

If your new facility is delayed or under construction, we can hold equipment in storage and deliver it when you are ready.

Minimizing Downtime

For a shop or plant, the quickest move is the one planned in advance. We can move in phases, for example one line or one room at a time, and we will discuss evening and weekend availability when you request a quote. Our guide to relocating with minimal downtime has a planning checklist that works for industrial moves too.

Industrial and Machinery Moving Costs

We quote each move individually after reviewing the equipment list. The main factors are:

  • Number, weight and size of machines, and any specialized lifting.
  • Distance between the old and new site.
  • Access: doors, ramps, docks, stairs, elevators and long carries.
  • Crating, packing and protection materials.
  • Crew size and the number of days.
  • Storage, if the new space is not ready.
  • Scheduling outside normal hours.

We offer hourly and fixed-rate estimates. Our guide to binding vs. non-binding estimates explains the difference, and our moving insurance guide covers your valuation options. Because machinery can be worth far more than standard coverage, talk to us and your own insurer before moving day.

Industrial Moving FAQs

What kinds of machinery do you move?

Manufacturing equipment, construction machinery, machine shop tools and similar industrial equipment. Send the make, model, weight and dimensions for the best estimate.

Do you provide cranes and rigging?

Tell us what lifting your job needs when you request a quote. Where a job calls for a crane or specialized rigging, we coordinate it as part of the moving plan.

Can you disconnect and reconnect the equipment?

Utility disconnects, reconnects and calibration should be done by qualified trades or the manufacturer. We schedule and sequence the move around them.

Can you move us in phases so we keep operating?

Yes. We can plan the move in stages to keep part of your operation running. Tell us your constraints in your quote request.

Do you move vehicles or trailers?

No. We do not offer vehicle transportation. We move equipment, machinery and tools.

Do you serve areas outside Rhode Island?

Yes. We serve Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut, and can coordinate longer moves through our long distance moving service.
