DC Global Freight provides coordinated factory dismantling and industrial plant relocation solutions for manufacturers, engineering businesses and industrial operators.
Whether relocating individual production machines, transferring manufacturing equipment between facilities or dismantling an entire factory for relocation overseas, we can arrange the specialist services required to manage the movement.
Working with experienced technical and engineering partners, we coordinate machinery dismantling, lifting, loading, transportation and international freight, providing customers with a single point of contact throughout the project.
Our capabilities extend from UK factory relocations to complex international movements involving oversized machinery, heavy-lift cargo, specialist trailers, container shipping, breakbulk vessels and charter shipping.
Coordinated dismantling of factory equipment, production machinery and industrial installations in preparation for removal, transportation or relocation. Projects may involve the disassembly of manufacturing equipment, production lines, industrial machinery and associated plant infrastructure.
Specialist planning and transportation for heavy, oversized and sensitive industrial machinery, including movement between factories, production facilities, warehouses and international destinations.
Coordinated dismantling, lifting, packing, transportation and relocation of complete or partial manufacturing and production lines. Projects are assessed according to machinery dimensions, weights, access restrictions, lifting requirements and destination arrangements.
Arranging specialist lifting, machinery skidding, loading and positioning services through appropriately qualified contractors. Where required, projects can include coordination with technical partners for machinery reassembly and installation support at the destination.
International transportation solutions for factories, manufacturing plants and industrial machinery being relocated overseas. DC Global Freight can arrange export documentation, customs coordination, container shipping, out-of-gauge transportation, breakbulk shipping and vessel charter solutions.
Coordination of specialist contractors for plant shutdown, machinery disconnection, dismantling and preparation for removal, subject to project scope, site conditions and technical requirements.

Every industrial relocation presents different challenges. Machinery dimensions, production schedules, lifting requirements, factory access and transport restrictions all influence the relocation strategy. DC Global Freight works with customers and specialist contractors to develop a coordinated solution suited to the equipment, site and destination.
Dismantling machinery is only one part of a successful industrial relocation. Once equipment has been prepared for transport, DC Global Freight can coordinate the onward movement using the most suitable transport and shipping arrangements.
