An industrial relocation harbours many opportunities. Companies can benefit from improved location conditions, such as more favourable rents, better infrastructure or increased proximity to important markets. A relocation can also provide impetus for innovation and new business models and position the company for future growth.
However, relocating industrial plant and machinery is always a challenge, as it is rare to move the same machine twice. An industrial relocation is therefore always very welcome for us, as we can utilise all our skills and expertise here.
Modern industrial plants and machinery form the backbone of Germany's economic strength, because only with state-of-the-art technology can production in a high-wage country like Germany be competitive at all. The machines we have to deal with during an industrial relocation are therefore generally not only large and heavy, but are also becoming increasingly sensitive thanks to modern electronics and the finest mechanics. In the past, industrial removals were real feats of strength or simple heavy transport, but today they are almost always ‘special transport’.
What makes an industrial relocation or company relocation so challenging?
An industrial relocation is a complex process that poses major challenges for companies. It involves changing the location of a production facility, factory or an entire industrial company. There can be various reasons for this step, such as the search for better site conditions, xpansion of the company or economic restructuring.
An industrial relocation requires careful planning and organisation to ensure smooth processes and minimise downtime.
Many critical factors come together during an industrial relocation. Firstly, of course, there is the quantity of goods to be transported. Not only machines, but also large items of furniture such as high racks or industrial doors have to be professionally dismantled and transported away. Then, of course, there are the generally larger dimensions of the transported goods. Machines and production lines have to be dismantled accordingly when relocating a business in order to make them suitable for transport. The disposal of parts of the site that are no longer required also plays a role in practice and can only be carried out by appropriately experienced AND certified companies (like us). Last but not least, the non-production areas of a site - i.e. offices, residential complexes or storage facilities - often also have to be taken into account. Classic commercial relocation logistics, which we master just as well as specialised transport and heavy haulage.
Industrial removals, industrial assembly - prices and costs
Due to their complexity, industrial removals almost automatically require individual consideration and calculation. Price and cost factors include not only the sheer quantity of objects and goods to be transported, but also the environmental conditions, transport routes, special services (industrial assembly, machine insertion) or time-critical factors.
Plant relocations and factory removals
Anyone planning entire plant relocations and relocations of production facilities must be able to rely on strong partners. After all, it's not just mistakes that cost money, but also every hour of downtime. The complexity of the entire project far exceeds the sum of the individual complexities. Plant relocation and factory relocation require perfect planning and clean execution.

Frequently asked questions about industrial relocation / plant relocation
What exactly is an industrial relocation?
Industrial removals include all transport, relocation and logistics tasks for production relocations or relocations of manufacturing companies. The main focus here is on machine and plant transport, but offices and storage facilities are also included in the scope of an industrial move.
What types of machines and systems does Lanzell transport?
We transport anything that can fit on a lorry trailer in terms of weight and dimensions - from baking machines to turbines or vehicles. Where necessary, we also use mobile cranes or other aids. We do not transport goods that require a low-loader (heavy construction vehicles, wind turbines, etc.).
Can machines and furniture also be stored temporarily?
We offer storage and temporary storage for machines or commercial goods in our own or rented storage areas in Berlin. However, the storage options depend on the size and type of goods to be stored. Please enquire with us.
