Industrial Relocations

Moving business premises is a big undertaking with many factors to take into consideration, including assessing the area and location you are moving to, as well as the impact this will have on the business. Relocating will take research and planning for it to be successful and have a positive rather than negative result on your company.

If you already have a location in mine, whether because of more affordable rents, a better market for your product or services, or increased visibility for your premises, there are a couple of things that should still be analysed. For instance, the size and make up of the population (age, income, occupations), the possible appeal of your goods/services, the type and size of the market, and characteristics of target market. You should consider what pricing can be realistically achieved, current market trends and access to your supply chain.

Signs to keep an eye out for include unemployment rate, building activity and number vacant business premises, establishment of new businesses and shopping areas, transport facilities and infrastructure, setting up of branches of large companies. Some of the possible negative signs include high unemployment, vacant premises, declining sales and industrial production, poorly maintained business and residential properties, and so on.

Professional Removalists

When moving your business you want to ensure that your assets and equipment are not damaged in the process, and that it is done efficiently. While you do not want to rush the operation and make mistakes, neither do you want to lose too much business by being closed.

So when choosing a removalist company to relocate your business, you should try to find a reputable, registered and licensed professional company. Read customer feedback and ask about their experience to ensure that they will be reliable and competent. Industrial removalists can be very helpful for moving large or cumbersome equipment, such as Process Systems Services, as they can provide forklift trucks, boom lifts, scissor lifts, cranes, trucks and so on.

Moving Your Business

There are many possible reasons why you may want or need to relocate your business. Perhaps the rent has increased beyond what you can afford, or there are new markets developing in other locations. It could be that your current location was financially successful when you started, but conditions have since deteriorated, thereby negatively impacting your business. Or it could be the opposite: maybe your business has grown beyond what your current location can cater for, so you need more room.

Maybe your business is changing direction, and the original product or service has changed creating premise or location problems. Or rather than the product, the supplies could be the problem. It may be necessary to relocate to an area where there is better access to raw materials, product components or ingredients. Or the reason could be that the desirability of the amenities have changed over time. The company’s location may have been chosen for a particular reason, whether the rent or its visibility, however deterioration of the building or in the area around your business may be having a negative impact. Even increasing crime rates in the area, such as vandalism, may be a factor. Perhaps there is insufficient labour or the client base has shifted.

Industrial Removalists

Whatever the reason, moving your company is a huge undertaking and should be planned and researched carefully. There is much to take into consideration, and any miscalculation could have potentially disastrous consequences. It is important to gather as much relevant information as possible, everything from the demographics of the location you are relocating to, to the impact the relocation will have on your current customers and clients.

It is a good idea to develop a brief that outlines precisely all the factors involved, all the advantages, disadvantages, opportunities and threats, as well as a plan on how to implement the move. Then you can start looking for a company of industrial removalists to manage your relocation professionally and efficiently.

Removals and Relocations

Changing locations, whether houses, businesses or warehouses can be very stressful. This is especially the case when moving valuable equipment and supplies, whether in-house or to new premises, or even simply re-arranging the existing premises to install new equipment.

Industrial removals require planning and forethought to organise how the relocation will take place, taking into consideration the nature of the equipment (size, weight, dimensions, stability, fragility), the new location (floor plans, dimensions), and accessibility (how will you get your equipment inside?). You then have to consider if other production units have to remain in operation during the project, how you will achieve this, or how much the downtime will cost. Finally you will need to take into account safety issues, including meeting all Occupational Health and Safety regulations during the transition period. Through conducting a feasibility study, analysing the different costs and benefits associated with your options when relocating, the easiest, quickest and safest way to accomplish the task can be determined.

Industrial relocations may need the assistance of professional industrial removalists, to not only arrange transport and suitable equipment for moving, but also to undertake project planning, feasibility studies and OH&S suitability.

Relocation Equipment

For moving large or cumbersome equipment, Process Systems Services can organise forklift trucks, boom lifts, scissor lifts, cranes and trucks as required. As experienced removalists they can ensure that your equipment will arrive safely through professional packing and transportation techniques.

The forklift truck was developed in the 1920s, and comes in many different varieties catering for different weights and sizes, such as the hand pallet, the rider low lift truck, towing tractor and rider tractor. A boom lift (also known as a cherry picker) consists of a platform or bucket at the end of a hydraulic lifting system, often mounted on the back of a truck. Scissor lifts are another type of aerial work platform that provides access for people or equipment to inaccessible areas usually at heights.
