A long journey
At Chris Miller Preston we're proud of our long history of transport and industrial removals in Lancashire and the north west. The family business started with a horse and cart and in it's time has helped move an amazing variety of loads.
We now specialise in
- Industrial removals
- Machinery removals
- Fork lift gang operations (not fork lift hire)
- Boat transport
"Gang" work is one of our great strengths. The skilled team working together can really move a lot of equipment - quickly and safely.
We don't just do 'Standard" stuff
Problem solving has always been part of a day's work at Chris Miller Preston.
Conventional wisdom isn't always the answer. Our lateral thinking has often resulted in faster, or cheaper jobs - without compromising quality or safety.
If you'd like to know how we moved over 3500 tons of hydro-electric power station equipment across the country and down a hole not much bigger than the loads, for a fraction of the cost of the conventional method just ask. But have a brew handy - we're very proud of our achievements and the story takes a while to tell.
Checking clearance under an avenue of trees prior to oversize load transport - Not our heaviest days work but it was prettier than some so it made our website.
A fork lift and measuring beam replicate a large load during a test run. It was
a custom solution which did a fast and accurate job.
Fame indeed!
It's unusual in our world of heavy haulage and machinery moving to get excited about small vehicles, but we were chuffed when Corgi produced a near replica of a couple of our vehicles. That's how you know you've made it!
