Heavy Machinery Moves Come with Risks.

We Help You Avoid Them.

Every hour offline means lost production and revenue. With over 1,000 completed heavy machinery movers services projects for Ontario manufacturers, Solid Hook’s certified crews deliver controlled execution, without a single production-critical damage claim.Industrial relocation requires evaluating structural factors: floor load capacity, anchoring requirements, utility disconnections, and precision tolerances. Proper planning prevents damage, misalignment, and operational disruption in active facilities.

Family-owned. Canadian-operated. Hands-on from start to finish.

How It Works

Every machinery moving and rigging project follows the same four stages — one crew, and one project manager from start to finish.

1

Free Site Assessment

We inspect the machine, measure access routes, and verify floor load capacity at both facilities.

Written quote, no obligation

2

Equipment Preparation

Utilities disconnected with lockout/tagout, fluids drained, and moving parts secured before any rigging begins.

Machine protected and lift-ready

3

Loading & Transport

Rigged by WSIB-insured crews — engineered lift plans where required — and hauled on tilt & load trucks, step-decks, or Landolls.

Permits and escorts when required

4

Unloading & Placement

Positioned and leveled by the same crew — licensed millwrights handle installation, alignment, and pipefitting.

Production-ready at the new location

Step 1 is free.

Recently used Solid Hook to secure a high value custom packaging machine going to Florida. They arrived on time, prepared, professional and performed the task of securing the machine in the trailer (block and brace) flawlessly. Will definitely use them again. Highly recommended.

We have a 300 ton Komatsu press, very big and heavy machine. Solid Hook laid it down, transported it and installed it at the new location. Everything went smooth, no damage to the machine or the floors. Very professional crew, they know what they are doing. I am very happy with the service and recommend this company.

We brought Solid Hook in to relocate a five-axis CNC and two support units across our Brampton plant. What stood out was the front end — they walked the route before quoting, flagged a door clearance issue we’d missed, and the number they gave us held. Crew showed up when they said, WSIB paperwork and insurance were sorted before anyone touched a machine. They skated the CNC without a scratch, re-leveled it on the pads, and had us back running a half-day ahead of what we’d budgeted. No surprises on the invoice. Foreman kept us in the loop the whole day. Would use them again.

Called a few companies for moving my machine shop from Vaughan to Etobicoke. Solid Hook was the only one who came in person to look at the shop before quoting. Price was fair and they finished on the day they said. Good crew, hard workers. Recommend.

Excellent experience with Solid Hook Inc. The crew was professional, on time, and handled our industrial washing machinery move safely and efficiently. Their knowledge of machinery moving, industrial rigging, and equipment installation really showed. Everything was positioned perfectly, and the project was completed without any issues. Highly recommend them for any heavy machinery moving or plant relocation work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Solid Hook moves a wide range of heavy and sensitive industrial equipment across Toronto, the GTA, and Ontario, including CNC machines, injection molding machines, stamping presses, lathes, grinders, robotic cells, packaging lines, compressors, industrial ovens, and complete production systems. We also handle transformers, chillers, and oversized machinery up to hundreds of thousands of pounds. Every move is planned around the equipment’s weight, centre of gravity, access constraints, and facility conditions. See our full machinery moving capabilities or contact us to discuss your specific equipment.

Yes. Solid Hook provides fully integrated industrial rigging, licensed millwrighting, and machinery moving services under one team, eliminating the coordination risk of using multiple contractors. Our SC&RA Safety Check-certified riggers handle controlled lifts, tight-clearance rigging, and engineered lift plans. Our licensed millwrights manage precision alignment, anchoring, grouting, and commissioning. Both services are WSIB-insured. Learn more about our rigging services or our millwrighting and equipment installation team.

Yes. Solid Hook manages complete turnkey plant relocations for Ontario manufacturers, from initial planning and match-mark labeling through rigging, transport, reinstallation, precision alignment, and commissioning support. Phased scheduling is available to maintain production continuity throughout the move — minimizing downtime across your entire operation. With more than 1,000 completed industrial projects, we coordinate every phase under a single project manager. Learn about our plant relocation process.

Yes. We specialize in internal machinery repositioning for layout optimization, equipment upgrades, and production line expansion. Moves are sequenced to minimize downtime and can be completed during scheduled shutdowns, maintenance windows, or off-hours when necessary.

Safety begins with a structured site assessment and an engineered lift plan before any equipment is touched. We evaluate floor load capacity, access paths, load distribution, structural clearances, and utility conditions. Our WSIB-insured crews follow Ontario safety regulations, apply lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures, and hold SC&RA Safety Check certification. Lifts are executed using certified rigging hardware, high-capacity Versa-Lift forklifts, gantry systems, and controlled techniques designed to protect both personnel and equipment. Every project includes documented risk assessment. Contact us to discuss safety planning for your project.

Industrial project pricing is based on measurable technical factors — not guesswork. We evaluate:

  • Equipment weight, dimensions, and center of gravity
  • Rigging complexity and lift planning requirements
  • Site access limitations (door clearances, ceiling height, floor load ratings)
  • Required equipment (Versa-Lifts, gantries, heavy forklifts, skates, cranes)
  • Manpower and certified operator requirements
  • Transportation distance and load securing protocols
  • Installation scope including alignment, anchoring, and commissioning support
  • Scheduling constraints such as shutdown windows or phased execution

For multi-machine or plant relocations, we conduct structured project scoping to build a detailed execution plan and transparent estimate aligned with downtime objectives and production timelines.

Solid Hook supports a wide range of manufacturing and industrial sectors across Toronto, the GTA, and Ontario, including plastics processing, injection molding, CNC machining, metal fabrication, food and beverage production, packaging and printing, automotive parts suppliers, aerospace and defence manufacturers, pharmaceutical and medical manufacturing, woodworking and millwork shops, recycling facilities, and research and university laboratories.

Whether your facility is an active production line or a specialty laboratory environment, our crews are experienced in the sequencing, precision, and compliance requirements that each sector demands.

Solid Hook is an industrial machinery moving and rigging company, not a residential or commercial mover. Our team works exclusively with heavy equipment, active manufacturing facilities, and complex industrial projects.

With over 1,000 completed projects, WSIB coverage, and SC&RA Safety Check certification, we bring a level of certified expertise that general movers cannot match.

We are a family-owned, Canadian-operated company where every project is managed hands-on by the same team, from initial assessment to commissioning, with a dedicated project manager accountable from start to finish.

Not at all. While many of our projects are based in Toronto and the GTA (Brampton, Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham, Scarborough) and Ontario cities (Hamilton, Niagara, Cambridge, Kitchener-Waterloo, Guelph, Barrie, Durham), we execute machinery relocations, multi-machine transfers, and full plant moves across Ontario. Larger projects are coordinated through structured transportation planning, phased scheduling, millwright reinstallation, and trade integration to ensure seamless execution from origin to final commissioning.
