Factory relocation is a process that requires precision, expertise, and specialized equipment. Moving entire production facilities, machines, and technological lines involves advanced logistics and a team of experts to ensure safety and minimize downtime. Protech Motors provides comprehensive support, guaranteeing effective and secure relocation of facilities both domestically and internationally.
1. Project Planning and Analysis
Relocating a factory begins with detailed planning, which includes defining the scope of the relocation, considering the number and type of machines and equipment to be moved. This is followed by a technical analysis of the current and new location, assessing floor load capacity, space availability, and other critical factors. A detailed schedule is prepared to minimize production downtime. Additionally, a comprehensive logistics plan is created, involving the use of cranes, gantries, self-propelled platforms, and other specialized equipment.
2. Review of Technical Documentation
Relocation requires verification of the technical documentation of machines and equipment to precisely determine requirements for disassembly, transportation, and reassembly. A detailed installation plan for the new location is prepared, with special attention given to elements requiring additional protection.
3. Disassembly of Machines and Equipment
Disassembly is a crucial step, involving the disconnection of equipment from utilities such as electricity, water, or gas. Machines are dismantled into modules, and delicate or precision components are secured appropriately. All activities are documented photographically and technically to facilitate reassembly.
4. Preparation for Transport
Before transport, machines are moved using cranes, gantries, and lifts. Loading is performed with specialized equipment, and machines are secured with straps, wedges, protective wraps, and transport crates to ensure safety during transit.
5. Transportation of Machines and Equipment
Transport organization includes both local and international transit. For oversized machinery, Protech Motors coordinates transport with local authorities to secure necessary permits. Monitoring the transport process ensures timeliness and safety at every stage.
6. Unloading and Installation at the New Location
Upon arrival, machines are carefully unloaded using cranes, gantries, and self-propelled platforms. They are then positioned according to the new factory layout. The installation process includes anchoring, leveling, and calibrating machines, as well as connecting them to the technical infrastructure, including control systems and utilities.
7. Testing and Commissioning
After installation, each machine undergoes trial runs to verify the correctness of assembly and functionality. Technical parameters are adjusted to meet production requirements, and any defects identified during testing are promptly addressed.
8. Personnel Training and Documentation Handover
Protech Motors conducts training for operators on how to use the machines in their new location. Clients are also provided with complete technical documentation and updated operating instructions tailored to the new site.
9. Final Works and Inspection
At the conclusion of the project, the Protech Motors team cleans the workspace and removes all transport safeguards. Final inspection of machine operation is conducted in the client’s presence, and the relocation is documented through a report and acceptance protocol.
Factory relocation isn’t just about disassembly, transport, and reassembly; it also involves ensuring the facility’s continuity of operations afterward. Protech Motors provides full technical support to help smoothly start production at the new location.
Following the relocation, we perform regular technical inspections of machines to ensure their reliability and operational safety. Should unexpected technical issues arise, our service teams are always ready to respond quickly and resolve potential failures.
In addition, we offer equipment modernization services at the new site to adapt to current production needs and ensure optimal efficiency.
We also assist in optimizing the infrastructure at the new location, improving the layout of machines and production lines to enhance process efficiency and maximize available space. This ensures the relocated facility operates efficiently from the very first day.
Protech Motors has extensive experience in relocating production facilities and industrial machinery across various industries. Utilizing modern equipment such as cranes, gantries, lifts, and self-propelled platforms, the company ensures efficient and safe execution of every project. A comprehensive approach—from planning and disassembly to transport, reassembly, and commissioning—minimizes downtime and fully tailors the service to meet individual client needs.
