About Silver Lake Industrial Services
Industrial Machinery Moving, Rigging & Relocation Nationwide
Silver Lake Industrial Services provides industrial machinery moving, rigging, heavy hauling, installation, and plant relocation services for manufacturers throughout the United States.
Family-owned and serving industrial customers since 2001, we understand that moving industrial machinery involves much more than lifting a piece of equipment and putting it on a truck., we understand that moving industrial machinery involves much more than lifting a piece of equipment and putting it on a truck. Successful projects require planning, specialized equipment, experienced crews, transportation coordination, and careful execution at both the origin and destination.
Silver Lake provides a single point of contact to manage your project nationwide, from origin to destination and everywhere in between.
Built Around Industrial Machinery Moving
Silver Lake Industrial Services specializes in moving the machinery that keeps manufacturing operations running.
Our crews work with heavy and precision equipment ranging from CNC machines and injection molding equipment to large stamping presses, production lines, and complete manufacturing operations.
Every project is different. Equipment weight and configuration, center of gravity, facility access, floor conditions, overhead restrictions, transportation requirements, destination conditions, and production schedules can all affect how a machine should be moved.
That's why Silver Lake develops the moving and rigging plan around the specific equipment and facility rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Family Owned Since 2001
Silver Lake Industrial Services was founded in 2001 by Doug Dyson with a straightforward goal: give industrial companies a single company they could rely on to coordinate projects across the country.
From the beginning, Doug's vision was to provide customers with a single point of contact to manage their projects nationwide, from origin to destination and everywhere in between. That approach remains at the center of how Silver Lake Industrial Services operates today.
Over the years, Silver Lake Industrial Services has expanded and diversified its capabilities to meet more of the needs of industrial and manufacturing customers. What began with a focus on industrial services has grown to include machinery moving, specialized rigging, heavy hauling, plant relocation, millwright support, custom metal fabrication, industrial epoxy flooring, and related services.
One Company From Origin to Destination
Industrial machinery relocation often involves multiple stages and multiple contractors. A project may require equipment preparation, dismantling, rigging, loading, transportation, unloading, positioning, assembly, and coordination with technicians and other trades. Silver Lake Industrial Services coordinates those moving pieces through a single point of contact.
Our capabilities include:
- Industrial machinery moving
- Machinery rigging and heavy lifting
- Internal plant moves
- Equipment removal and relocation
- Loading and unloading
- Heavy and specialized transportation
- Plant-to-plant machinery relocation
- Precision equipment positioning
- Machinery installation and assembly support
- Production-line and manufacturing-cell relocation
- Complete plant relocation
By coordinating these services through one point of contact, Silver Lake Industrial Services helps manufacturers manage complex moves from the originating facility through final placement at the destination.
Experience With Heavy & Precision Machinery
Moving a large stamping press presents different challenges than relocating a CNC machining center. An injection molding machine requires different handling considerations than a production line or manufacturing cell.
Silver Lake Industrial Services' experience includes moving and installing a wide range of industrial machinery and production equipment.
Heavy Stamping Presses
Large mechanical and hydraulic presses can require extensive lift planning, specialized rigging equipment, disassembly, transportation, reassembly, and precise positioning.
Injection Molding Machines
Silver Lake Industrial Services moves hydraulic, electric, hybrid, large-tonnage, and multi-component injection molding machines along with complete molding cells and auxiliary equipment.
CNC Machines & Machine Tools
Our crews move vertical and horizontal machining centers, CNC lathes and turning centers, multi-axis equipment, Swiss-style machines, and other precision machine tools.
More Industrial Machinery
Silver Lake also moves production machinery, manufacturing cells, automation and robotics, conveyors, material-handling systems, packaging and processing machinery, and other heavy industrial equipment.
Specialized Rigging & Machinery-Moving Equipment
The right equipment is critical to a safe and controlled machinery move.
Depending on the load, facility, and project requirements, Silver Lake can utilize specialized equipment including hydraulic gantry systems, heavy-capacity forklifts, machinery skates and rollers, hydraulic jacking systems, cribbing, lifting beams, slings, shackles, cranes, and other rated rigging equipment.
Before a move begins, our team evaluates factors such as equipment dimensions and weight, center of gravity, lifting requirements, available clearances, floor conditions, load path, loading areas, transportation requirements, and final placement.
The objective is not simply to move the machine. It is to maintain control throughout the project.
Supporting Manufacturers Across the United States
Silver Lake Industrial Services works with manufacturing and industrial facilities throughout the United States.
Our experience supports businesses across industries including automotive, aerospace, plastics, metalworking, tool and die, medical manufacturing, packaging, industrial equipment, and general manufacturing.
Projects range from a single machine being repositioned within an existing facility to equipment transfers between plants and complete manufacturing-facility relocations.
Whether the move is across the aisle, across the plant, or across the country, Silver Lake Industrial Services can develop a plan around the machinery, facility, schedule, and destination.
More Than Machinery Moving
Silver Lake's capabilities extend beyond machinery moving and rigging. These additional capabilities allow Silver Lake to support manufacturers beyond the machinery move itself.
Heavy Hauling
We coordinate transportation for heavy, oversized, and specialized industrial equipment, allowing rigging and transportation to work together as part of a coordinated project.
Custom Metal Fabrication
Silver Lake provides custom metal fabrication and welding services for manufacturing facilities, industrial equipment, and specialized projects. Fabrication capabilities can support both standalone projects and modifications associated with machinery moves and installations.
Industrial Epoxy Flooring
Silver Lake also provides industrial epoxy flooring systems for manufacturing plants, warehouses, shops, and other demanding industrial and commercial environments.
Safety, Planning & Communication
Heavy machinery moving requires careful planning and disciplined execution.
Silver Lake Industrial Services evaluates the equipment, rigging method, load path, facility conditions, transportation requirements, and personnel needs before movement begins. Our crews work with facility personnel and other contractors involved in the project to keep each stage aligned from removal through installation.
Clear communication is especially important on complex projects involving multiple machines, facilities, transportation providers, technicians, and trades.
By maintaining a single point of contact throughout the project, Silver Lake Industrial Services helps keep everyone working toward the same schedule and objective.
Why Manufacturers Choose Silver Lake
Manufacturers trust Silver Lake Industrial Services with machinery-moving projects because we combine experience, specialized equipment, nationwide capabilities, and project coordination under one company.
Whether the project involves a precision CNC machine, an injection molding cell, a massive stamping press, a production line, or an entire manufacturing facility, our approach remains the same:
Understand the equipment. Plan the move. Coordinate the details. Execute the project safely and efficiently.
With more than 25 years of industrial experience, Silver Lake Industrial Services is prepared to manage projects ranging from straightforward equipment moves to complex multi-stage relocations.
