MACHINE MOVERS, RIGGERS & MILLWRIGHTS FOR ONTARIO MANUFACTURERS.

HighMass Industrial is an industrial machinery moving and installation contractor serving manufacturing facilities across Toronto, the GTA, and surrounding Ontario markets. We combine the planning of machine movers with the lifting capability of industrial rigging and the precision of millwright services.

Industrial Machinery Moving

As machine movers, we plan and execute the relocation of CNC machining centres, presses, moulders, and production equipment — repositioning a single machine within a facility or transferring equipment between facilities across Ontario.

Industrial Rigging

Heavy and difficult-access lifts where sling configurations, load balancing, and overhead clearances must be evaluated before equipment is hoisted or positioned.

Millwrighting & Machinery Installation

Industrial machinery installation and equipment positioning, including alignment, levelling, anchoring, and coordination with facility trades for new and replacement machine placements.

Plant Relocation

Coordinated multi-machine and production-line moves, sequenced around your facility operations to support equipment removal, transport, and re-placement.

INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT REQUIRES A DIFFERENT APPROACH

HEAVY MACHINERY MOVES COME WITH REAL OPERATIONAL RISKS.

Industrial equipment is often heavy, sensitive, expensive, and difficult to access. A poorly planned move can create equipment damage, access complications, alignment issues, scheduling problems, or unnecessary disruption to the facility.

Before moving machinery, businesses need to understand the load, the route, the surrounding environment, and the intended final position.

01

EQUIPMENT PROTECTION

Consider appropriate handling, securing, and protection requirements for the machinery.

02

SITE AND ACCESS CONDITIONS

Evaluate the movement path, available clearances, floor conditions, and destination requirements.

03

PRODUCTION AND SCHEDULING

Discuss work sequencing, facility restrictions, and operating schedules before the project begins.

THE RIGHT APPROACH STARTS WITH UNDERSTANDING THE JOB.
DISCUSS MOVE
OUR PROJECT PROCESS

FROM INITIAL ASSESSMENT TO FINAL PLACEMENT.

Every industrial project has its own requirements. A structured discussion helps identify the equipment, site conditions, handling needs, and scope before work begins.

01

PROJECT ASSESSMENT

Discuss machine, current location, destination, equipment dimensions, access restrictions, and required outcome.

02

PLANNING & PREPARATION

Establish movement requirements, handling approach, site coordination needs, and specialized preparation.

03

MOVING & HANDLING

Carry out the agreed equipment-handling work using methods and resources appropriate to the scope and site.

04

POSITIONING & CLOSEOUT

Position equipment at its intended destination and complete the agreed scope. Alignment & testing confirmed separately.
