Technical & Specialty Moves

Too Heavy, Too Big,
Too Valuable to Improvise

Some pieces don’t go on a dolly. NCS Moving Services relocates machinery and oversized equipment with forklifts, telehandlers, and machine skates — planned around door widths, floor loading, and turning radius before anything gets lifted. Serving the Bay Area since 1994.

Overview

The Plan Comes Before the Lift

A specialty move is decided before move day. We survey the route at both ends — door and corridor widths, elevator capacity, floor loading, dock height, the turn at the end of the hall — and build the plan around what the building will actually allow. Most of the risk on these jobs comes from finding out too late that a piece won’t fit.

On site we work with forklifts, telehandlers, and machine skates, moving equipment on rollers where a lift isn’t possible and setting it down on the mark. Most of our work is across Northern California, though we’ve taken larger projects out of state when a client needed the same crew at both ends.
