Yes. JB Removals provides heavy-item and oversized-item moving services in Melbourne. We assess the item, pickup and delivery access, crew, equipment and transport before confirming the scope, quote and availability. Call 1300 820 861 or use the Melbourne enquiry form.
Plan around the machine and the operating site
A workshop or commercial equipment move starts with an inventory, not just a truck size. List each asset, its weight and dimensions, how it is currently supported and any manufacturer handling instructions. Identify the collection and final placement position so the handling can be assessed at both sites.
For multiple items, show which must move first and which areas need to remain accessible. Tell us about business hours, site inductions and the delivery window.
Workshop and factory machinery
For a Dandenong workshop enquiry or another Melbourne industrial site, provide the machine footprint, floor route, door heights and loading access. Photograph lifting points, projecting parts and attached cabinets. Include the weight of each separate component if the equipment will be dismantled.
Transport, disconnection and recommissioning are different tasks. Identify the qualified trade or specialist responsible for isolating services and preparing the machine before collection.
Printers, optical tables and delicate equipment
Commercial printers and laboratory tables may have fragile components, transport locks or specific orientation requirements. Send the model details and handling instructions, and tell us whether a supplier or technician needs to prepare the asset.
The quoted physical move should state which preparation and placement tasks it covers. Calibration, servicing and technical sign-off must be identified separately rather than assumed to be part of transport.
Collection, transport and placement
The handling plan may involve suitable jacks, pallet jacks, machinery skates, gantries or crane support depending on the load and site. The written quote should identify the proposed arrangement, crew and any outside specialist involvement.
Confirm loading access at both addresses, vehicle restrictions and the final position. For a staged relocation, provide the sequence and required dates so movement between work areas can be planned alongside transport.

Practical answers about the item, access, preparation and agreed moving scope.
Do you assess workshop machinery moves around Dandenong?
Send the workshop address, machine inventory and route details so the team can assess scope and availability. Include weights, footprints, loading access and any manufacturer lifting information. Identify disconnection and preparation responsibilities. A useful machinery enquiry shows the full task at both sites rather than only the distance from the workshop to the destination.
Can you relocate a heavy commercial printer?
Provide the printer make, model, weight and dimensions together with supplier transport instructions where available. Tell us whether a technician must install transport locks or prepare fragile parts. The physical move can then be assessed alongside loading access and final placement. Technical preparation, servicing and recommissioning should be identified separately in the scope.
Can you move a laboratory optical table?
Send specifications for the tabletop, base and attached components, plus the manufacturer handling instructions. Note pneumatic supports or other sensitive parts and identify who will prepare them. The assessment considers support, transport and placement. Calibration and specialist technical work need a clearly allocated scope rather than being assumed to accompany the physical relocation.
Is disconnecting machinery included?
Only where the written scope specifically includes the work and the appropriate qualified person is arranged. Identify electrical, plumbing, gas, refrigeration or other services before booking. The moving plan should state who isolates and prepares the asset and when it will be ready. Transport should not depend on an unresolved assumption about specialist disconnection.
Can you move several machines in a planned sequence?
Provide the full inventory, required sequence, access constraints and dates. Explain which areas must remain operational and whether items can be staged before transport. The team can assess a combined handling and relocation scope. Availability, equipment arrangements and the sequence must be confirmed in writing rather than inferred from a single-item quote.
Send the load and access details
Request an assessment for your Melbourne move with item photos, dimensions, known weight and both routes. The written scope confirms the handling and price basis.
