Industrial Equipment Relocation
Moving a line from one plant to another, or one state to another, is its own discipline. THG decommissions the equipment, writes the rigging plan, permits the move, transports it and re-installs it at the far end. One crew owns the move from start to finish, so nothing falls through the gap between vendors.
How a Relocation Runs
1. Walk both ends
The plant the equipment is leaving and the plant it is going to: door widths, aisle turns, floor loads and utilities on both sides, before anybody touches a wrench.
2. Decommission and tag
Power down, disconnect and document. Every connection is photographed and labeled, so the far end is a reassembly, not a puzzle.
3. Rigging plan and permits
We write the rigging plan, pull the permits the move needs, and sequence the disassembly to match how it goes back together.
4. Transport
Loaded, secured and moved, plant to plant or state to state.
5. Re-install and commission
Set, level, anchor, reconnect and commission against the agreed operating requirements. Any repair work found during the move is documented.
Scope of Work
- Site survey at the origin plant and the destination plant
- Decommissioning, disconnection and lockout
- Photographic tagging and labeling of every connection
- A written rigging plan and the permits the move needs
- Disassembly sequenced to the reassembly order
- Transport, plant to plant or state to state
- Foundation check, set, leveling and anchoring at the far end
- Reconnection, commissioning and run to spec

Why THG
One crew owns the whole move
There is no gap between a rigger, a hauler and an installer, because it is one crew from the disconnect to the first good product.
Everything is documented
A relocation goes wrong at the far end, in the details nobody wrote down. Every connection is photographed and tagged on the way out.
We know what is inside it
THG builds production equipment, so when a module comes apart, the crew isn’t guessing about what is behind the panel.

Common questions
Do you handle the transport, or just the rigging?
The whole move: decommission, rigging plan, permits, transport, re-install and commissioning. One crew owns it from start to finish.
Can you move equipment between states?
Yes. Plant to plant or state to state, with the rigging and permitting handled in house.
How do you keep a relocation from turning into a rebuild?
We photograph and tag every connection before it comes apart, and sequence the disassembly to match how it has to go back together.
What if you find problems while it is apart?
We tell you. A line in pieces is the cheapest time in its life to fix something, and it is better to have that conversation then than after it is anchored.
Do you relocate equipment you did not manufacture?
Yes. The discipline is the same whoever’s nameplate is on the panel.
