Machine relocation Berlin by professionals
Removals and relocation for machines and systems
A machine relocation is an important task for companies that are optimising, expanding or relocating their production facilities. Such a move requires careful planning and precise execution to minimise downtime and maintain the integrity of the machinery. Modern machines are precision devices in which both sensitive mechanics and electronics work hand in hand. What should you pay particular attention to when relocating machinery and why should you always rely on a professional? We will try to explain this here.
Modern and highly specialised machines and systems are the backbone of German industry and the German art of engineering. Only with state-of-the-art technology and efficiency can production in a high-wage country like Germany still be competitive. The machines and systems required for this are not only getting bigger and bigger, but are also becoming more and more complex and sensitive thanks to ever more electronics and the finest mechanics. This is particularly true when a machine relocation is imminent. As a plant owner or manager, you quickly face major problems when these systems have to be moved to a new location during a machine relocation.
Rely on professional planning for your machine relocation
As a rule, a machine move is not simply the transport of a somewhat heavier object from A to B. In practice, a machine move can usually be divided into the following steps. In practice, a machine move can usually be divided into the following work steps, which must be strictly coordinated as part of an overall concept for the move:
Important aspects of machine relocation
- Thorough planning is the key: The first step in a machine relocation is detailed planning. Planning includes setting a timeline, determining the resources needed, selecting the moving company and identifying potential risks. An effective planning team is critical to coordinate the entire process.
- Risk assessment: A thorough risk assessment is essential to identify and minimise potential hazards. This includes reviewing safety aspects, legal requirements and potential damage to the machinery. Comprehensive insurance cover is advisable to cover unforeseen damage or loss.
- Dismantling and labelling: Dismantling the machines requires skilled labour and specialised tools. During this process, it is important to carefully document, label and inventory all parts. This makes subsequent assembly much easier.
- Packaging and securing: Proper packaging is critical to prevent damage during transport. Robust packaging materials, padding and special protective devices are essential to keep the machines safe. Machines should also be securely fastened during transport to minimise shocks.
- Transport and logistics: Choosing the right means of transport and service provider is crucial. The machines must be transported safely and stably to prevent damage. Coordinating the transport, including obtaining the necessary authorisations, is also important.
- Reassembly and commissioning: After transport, the machines must be carefully reassembled and commissioned. This requires specialised personnel who are familiar with the machines to ensure that they function properly. Extensive testing and inspections are necessary to ensure the quality and efficiency of the machines.
- Training and communication: Training employees is essential to ensure that they can properly operate and maintain the machines after the move. Communication with employees about the relocation process and changes in workflows is also essential.
- Cost control: The cost of a machine move can be significant. It is important to create a budget and monitor costs throughout the process to avoid unexpected expenses.
- Safety first: The safety of employees and the protection of machinery are top priorities. All applicable safety regulations and measures should be strictly followed to prevent accidents and damage.
A good machine relocation is characterised by the fact that it is not only carried out professionally and safely, but can also cope with constraints such as deadline pressure or coordination with other work and transports.
The complexity of machine relocations is directly related to the complexity of the system to be transported and its installation and dismantling location. This is why a detailed survey at the start of the project is so important. Only precise planning can then determine the appropriate aids and tools that will make the machine relocation quick, safe and efficient.

Machine relocation FAQ
What is a machine relocation?
Moving machinery usually involves relocating a technical system within the company or between different production sites. The problem here is often not necessarily the transport itself, but the bringing in and out of buildings or the bridging of floors. The choice of the right equipment (mobile crane, etc.) is therefore the decisive factor for success.
What services does Lanzell offer for machine relocation?
We are a comprehensive specialised transport service provider. We plan, dismantle, transport and assemble. Depending on the planning, we use additional aids (mobile crane, etc.) if these are necessary or useful for the transport concept. In addition to safety and quality, our concepts are therefore always characterised by economic efficiency.
Does Lanzell also offer machine storage?
We can offer storage capacities for medium and long-term machine storage in Berlin.
