Why Choose Suddath
Experts Who Understand Your Business
Recognizing that you have internal experts and resources that only need help in certain areas, we work alongside your industrial plant management, warehousing and materials management teams to understand current business operations and assess in-house capabilities to identify where outside resources are needed.
Strategic Planning to Minimize Downtime
The biggest challenges companies face during an industrial plant relocation is maintaining access to inventory and minimizing manufacturing downtime. As industrial movers, we operate as an extension of your company to ensure strict controls around the movement of inventory and precise scheduling of equipment and machinery moves.
The art of achieving an industrial relocation deadline while preserving current business operations is intelligent phasing, detailed planning and validated rehearsal. We test our plans upfront in controlled circumstances to validate timing assumptions and to uncover unforeseen dependencies.
Operating as an Extension of Your Team
We recognize that due to the complex nature of industrial plant relocations our role is to operate as a member of a larger team. Collaboration, communication and teamwork between the various internal departments, OEMs, outside electricians, mechanics, riggers, plumbers and engineers is crucial.
Specialized Skills to Move Equipment
Industrial moves are very different than office moves. From moving rotary shelves to five-ton presses, industrial environments require specialized skills like rigging, disassembly and reassembly of industrial racking, packing of small parts areas, inventory management and significant physical resources like heavy duty cranes, lifts, rolling carts and flatbeds, and we have the resources to handle these needs.
