Forklifts for Industrial Relocations

 

Whether it concerns a single machine that needs to be moved or an entire production line finding a new home, precise and safe lifting is the foundation of every successful relocation project. At Schoonacker Transport in Wetteren, we have an extensive range of forklifts up to 12 tons, ready for deployment at any location.

 

What do forklifts do during an industrial relocation?

 

An industrial relocation is no ordinary job. Machines, installations, and production lines are heavy, fragile, and often difficult to access. A forklift is an indispensable tool in such situations, but only in the hands of the right people with the right equipment.

At Schoonacker Transport, we deploy forklifts for a wide range of applications: from picking up and moving heavy machine parts on the shop floor to loading and unloading semi-trailers and low loaders. Fast, stable, and with millimeter precision.

That is what sets us apart. Not just the machine, but the expertise behind it.

 

Forklifts up to 12 tons: power and precision in one

 

Schoonacker Transport has various forklifts with a lifting capacity of up to 12 tons. This makes us suitable for an enormously wide spectrum of industrial projects, from relatively light machine movements to the most demanding heavy manipulations .

 

Our forklifts are deployed in combination with our other equipment, including:

• Mobile pick-and-carry cranes up to 60 tons : for the very largest lifting operations

• Low loaders and tarpaulin semi-trailers: for the transport of the relocated machines to the new location

• Trucks with truck-mounted cranes: for flexible operations in hard-to-reach locations

• Aerial workers: when installations need to be placed or removed at height.

Every project is different. Our combination of equipment makes us flexible enough to offer the right solution for every project.

 

When do you engage a forklift?

 

Many companies underestimate the complexity of moving a machine. A forklift seems simple. But its proper deployment requires planning, knowledge, and experience.

 

You need a forklift when:

• Machines or installations need to be moved within a production hall or warehouse

• Heavy equipment needs to be loaded or unloaded from a truck or semi-trailer

• Temporary storage of machine parts at another location is required

• Narrow corridors or confined spaces require a specialized approach.

• Heavy parts must be accurately positioned during reinstallation

 

Do you recognize yourself in one or more of these situations? Then you have come to the right place at Schoonacker Transport.

 

Safety always comes first

 

Forklifts are powerful machines. That calls for responsibility.

At Schoonacker Transport, we work exclusively with VCA-certified employees who possess the necessary diplomas and certificates for operating forklifts and performing heavy handling work . Safety is not an afterthought. It is the foundation of everything we do.

 

Our employees know the risks. They know the protocols. And they act accordingly. On every construction site, on every project, without exception.
