How Birmingham jobs are run.

Our Greenville, Georgia shop is about three hours from Birmingham, so jobs here are planned as mobilizations.

The crew, the movers and the rigging gear arrive together, and the work runs in scheduled blocks around your production windows. Nothing waits on equipment shipped in piece by piece. Before a number goes on paper, someone visits the plant to look at the machine, the floor and the doorway.

We have two shops, in Greenville, Georgia and Fort Worth, Texas, and work the Southern Industrial Corridor from South Carolina to Texas, with reach coast to coast.

Tuscaloosa, Talladega and central Alabama.

The same crews work the plants around Birmingham, including Tuscaloosa to the southwest and Talladega to the east, each about an hour away on I-20. A job in Tuscaloosa or Talladega is priced and run the same way as one in Birmingham: a site visit, a number back the same day, and a crew that arrives with its own movers and rigging gear.

Typical work around Birmingham.

Birmingham-area plants run a lot of metalworking equipment: presses and press brakes, foundry and forging equipment, and CNC and machining lines. Automotive assembly and supplier plants are within about an hour in either direction. Typical jobs include a machine coming off a truck at the dock, a press moved across an operating floor while the shifts around it keep running, and a line taken apart, hauled and running again at a new address.

Accuwright has done this for more than 900 industrial customers, in over 40 US states and internationally. The crew that sets the machine also levels it, aligns it, pipes it and wires it. Millwrights, riggers, welders, pipefitters and electricians are on Accuwright’s own payroll, and our crews self-perform the core work.

    Moving machinery in Birmingham, answered.

    How fast can a crew be at our Birmingham plant?

    Our Greenville, Georgia shop is about three hours from Birmingham, so jobs here are planned as mobilizations. The crew, movers and rigging gear arrive together on a schedule set around your production windows, during business hours. Send the details and you get a number back the same day.

    Do you work in Tuscaloosa and Talladega?

    Yes. Tuscaloosa, Talladega and the plants around them are covered by the same shop and crews as Birmingham, and priced the same way. Send the details and you get a number back the same day.

    Can you move a press or press brake?

    Yes. We move press brakes, stamping presses and forming equipment on rated rigging, with the pick planned before the slings come off the truck. Machinery moving & rigging covers the move; millwright services cover setting, leveling and alignment at the new footprint.

    Will you move a single machine, or is that too small?

    We take single-machine moves, across the floor or across town: CNC machines, presses, molding machines and everything between. See machinery moving & rigging. A small job gets the same planning, floor protection and paperwork as a big one.

    Can you move us into or out of the Birmingham area entirely?

    Yes. Manufacturing plant relocation is a core Accuwright scope: decommission, wrap, haul, reinstall and start back up, whether the new address is across town or across the country. With two shops and a purpose-built fleet, the same contractor works both ends of the move.

    Do you work inside operating plants?

    Most of our work happens in plants that are still running. Moves are planned around your shifts and aisles, with spotters, floor protection and a route walked before anything rolls, so production keeps going around the work.

    Where else do you work in Alabama?

    Across Alabama and the corridor, including Tuscaloosa, Talladega, Montgomery and Auburn, and in Georgia from Atlanta to Savannah. The full list is on our locations page.
