Areas We Cover from Windsor

From Windsor we serve plants across Essex County: LaSalle, Tecumseh and the Oldcastle industrial area, Lakeshore, Amherstburg, Essex, Kingsville and Leamington. In Windsor itself we work in the industrial areas along E.C. Row Expressway, from Dougall and Howard Avenues to the east-end plants around Lauzon Parkway and Banwell Road, and along Walker Road. Along Highway 401 we also cover Chatham-Kent and London, and we move machinery across the border to Detroit and the rest of Michigan. For moves further into the province, see our machinery movers across Ontario.

Oversize loads need permits from each road authority on the route: route approval and a moving permit from the City of Windsor for city roads, a County of Essex moving permit for county roads, and an MTO permit for Highway 401 and other provincial highways. We arrange the permits and any escorts as part of the move.

Windsor Industrial Equipment Moving: FAQ

Do you move industrial equipment across Windsor and Essex County?

Yes. Our industrial equipment movers and riggers serve Windsor and all of Essex County, including LaSalle, Tecumseh and Oldcastle, Lakeshore, Amherstburg, Essex, Kingsville and Leamington, plus Chatham-Kent. We take on anything from a single machine or press to a full production line, and we also move equipment between Windsor-Essex plants and London, the rest of Ontario and Michigan.

How much does it cost to move machinery in Windsor?

Each move is priced per job, based on the weight and size of each machine, access at both ends, the lifting method, distance, permits and timing. Oversize loads need City of Windsor route approval at least 72 hours before the move, a County of Essex permit with 10 business days of notice, and an MTO permit for Highway 401. Our Heavy Lifting and Moving Calculator gives a rough range.

Can you move machinery between Windsor and Michigan?

Yes. We arrange cross-border machinery transport between Windsor-Essex plants and Detroit, the rest of Michigan and other US states, with rigging and loading at the Ontario end and delivery to your US site. Cross-border loads need customs paperwork, so tell us who your customs broker is. An oversize load also needs permits in Ontario and in each state on the route.

Do you rig and install equipment for auto plants?

Yes. We rig, move and set presses, robot cells, welding fixtures and conveyors for auto assembly plants and parts suppliers in Windsor-Essex, and we plan the work around your shutdown or changeover window. Your licensed electricians disconnect and reconnect power. See auto and EV plant equipment rigging in Windsor.

Can you do rigging only, without transport?

Yes. Our riggers handle in-plant work across Windsor-Essex with no trucking: moving a press or machining centre to a new bay, re-laying out a cell for a model changeover, or setting a machine your dealer has delivered, using skates, gantries or jack-and-roll. See industrial rigging in Windsor, or send the job for a rigging-only quote.

Do you move CNC machines, presses and moulds for tool and die shops?

Yes. Windsor-Essex has a large tool, die and mould industry, and we move CNC machining centres, lathes, EDM machines, presses and heavy moulds between bays, buildings and plants. We lock the axes and secure the spindle for transport, while you or the OEM back up the parameters and drain the coolant. See CNC machine movers in Windsor.

Do you install machinery as well as move it?

Yes. Our crew sets each machine on its marks, levels and anchors it, and offers millwright installation and alignment, so it is ready for your licensed electricians to reconnect power and for your maintenance team to start up. Equipment dealers and automation integrators in Windsor-Essex can also use us to deliver, rig and install new machines at customer plants.

How do you move heavy machinery out of a plant safely?

We survey the machine and the route out, then plan the rigging around its weight and centre of gravity. Depending on the load and the floor, it moves on skates, hydraulic gantries or jack-and-roll, with crane lifts through licensed crane partners where needed, and travels on the right trailer with permits and escorts arranged. See machinery movers in Windsor.

Do you rent cranes or forklifts?

No, we do not rent out cranes, forklifts or operators. We quote complete moving and rigging jobs. Most machines move on skates, gantries or jack-and-roll, and if a lift does need a crane, we bring in a licensed crane partner, plan the lift with them and include the crane time in your price.
