Projects

UK & beyond

FULL Factory relocation

To date our largest single off site project - we moved a whole factory! Ford car plant was closed and all machinery was to be exported. We coordinated the whole process. Machines were uninstalled, taken to Thames Port. We took control of ship to shore crane, operated 2 gangs (welders, riggers, stevedores), day and night for 3 weeks. Loading 463 machines with average weight of 120T per piece. This photo was taken once loaded.


Buoyancy modules

We specialise in loading Oil and Gas equipment anything from drill pipes, compressors & valves. We have good relationships with those working out of Aberdeen including hauliers, so can obtaining good collection/ delivery rates.

This particular contract was to load 202 containers of buoyancy modules for export to Houston, USA. The goods originated in Aberdeen and we hauled down to Felixstowe for us to store and load. Using our own trained carpenters we built timber transportation frames for the modules, each frame housed 3 modules, with 2 of the frames per container.

start your engines

We are proud to be trusted to handle so many high value cars. Definitely a perk of the job seeing such beauties in the warehouse and a massive compliment to be trusted to look after someones pride and joy.

WE loaded an Aviation museum

We needed our delicate touch, one of our memorable local projects was unloading aviation museum planes and setting into display positions within a Suffolk museum. 


damaged containers

We are the port of call for damaged and problematic containers.  Using our experience, we are able to unload, rotate, cut open and modify as necessary damaged containers. This helps our customers to lessen the financial cost for insurance claims by salvaging product, we are able to work alongside surveyors, destroying stock with video evidence,  removing useable stock if req.


Us Air cylinders 

We supported a UK manufacturing company based in hull who export gas cylinders with a project to supply to America. We arranged the securing using car lashings, bearers and soft eye rachet straps- the challenge being to keep the brand new cylingers imacculate whilst loading into open tops using their gantry cranes. 

JCb & CAterpillar

Two classic brands from the UK for who we have worked for. For caterpillar we devised a method to load 2 diggers into 1 container, even being flown out to Brazil to pass on our knowledge. 

Deadline Dumpers

Time was ticking on this one. We loaded articulated dump trucks onto flat racks, it was a last minute job with a tight deadline, our nights team loaded 90 flat racks within 3 weeks.

The tractor boys

We load so many tractors perhaps we should share the nickname of our local illustrious football team (Ipswich Town FC).  A skilled task one that we have perfect over the years with many projects.

bicycles

OFO bikes, were being introduced to UK before Barclays bikes took over. This project had 200 bikes per container and over 100 containers. All to be handballed, PDI checked, delivered to major cities at night.
