Machinery transportation - Cheshire to Surrey

[threeReefs]

Just checking if anyone knows reliable man/van services who could collect some heavy-ish bits of machinery - one-off requirement - and transport from Cheshire to Surrey, ideally storing it for a couple of weeks in between but that's not essential. Probably 2 items about 200lbs each - engine-crane territory. Collection from an auction site, forklift available for loading. Private thing so cash is fine. Thanks !

Check with the auction site, many of them require a 'professional' mover and at the very least a risk assessment and method statement on how you are going to carry out the move. I got caught out with this.
I can recomend Landylift, he advertises on Advert - All Ads. I have used steve a couple of times and can highly recomend him. He will put the machine exactly where you want it when he delivers too.

I've used DDK for my own workshop and for day-job stuff. Joe's always been great to deal with.

The website makes it look like they only do huge industrial jobs, but they've moved my home workshop twice now with great care and attention.

A +1 from me for Steve at Landylift. Did a great job moving a 500kg lathe for me.
