Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Leicester Same Day Removals: The Full Rundown
Leicester has a strong manufacturing and light industrial base.
Factories in Thurmaston, Enderby, and the Meridian Business Park regularly need equipment relocated.
We move the kit those businesses rely on every day.
Our Leicester machine moving teams handle a wide range of items.
Industrial lathes, CNC machines, milling equipment, and press brakes are all standard jobs for us.
We also move commercial catering equipment, commercial refrigeration units, and large-format printers.
Gym relocations are another area where we see consistent demand in Leicester.
If you run a private fitness studio near Highfields or a commercial gym in the city centre, we can strip down and reinstall fixed equipment safely.
Rowing machines, cable stations, power racks, and plate-loaded units all require proper handling to avoid damage to both the machine and the floor beneath it.
We also move safes, server racks, medical imaging equipment, and specialist retail fixtures.
If the item is heavy, bulky, or awkward, Giant Van has handled something similar before.
Our teams use trolleys, skates, and mechanical lifting aids to protect both your equipment and your premises throughout the move.
Every job includes full transit insurance.
Nothing leaves without being assessed and secured properly.

We keep vehicles available for same-day despatch across the city.
If you're in Aylestone, Belgrave, Braunstone, or the Golden Mile, we can typically reach you within a few hours of your call. Our GPS tracking means you know exactly where your driver is, so there's no sitting around waiting.
Same day machine moves are priced clearly.
Our man and van service in Leicester starts from £54 per hour. The exact rate depends on crew size, vehicle type, and equipment. If your machine is particularly large or heavy, we'll tell you upfront what you need and what it costs. No surprises on the day.

Work Out Your Moving CostMaking Same Day Removals Easier in Leicester
A single gym treadmill on a ground floor is a very different proposition from a two-tonne lathe on the first floor of an old Leicester mill building. We price based on what your job actually requires, not a generic rate card.
This covers a driver plus one crew member with a standard transit-size vehicle.
A one-bedroom move including machinery runs between £250 and £400. A two-bedroom property with gym or workshop equipment typically lands between £400 and £650. A three-bedroom or larger property with multiple heavy items ranges from £650 to £900.
We assess the item weight, dimensions, floor access, distance, and any specialist equipment required such as pallet trucks, stair climbers, or crane hire.
Use our app, complete the form on our website, or call. We give you a firm price before any work starts. Every charge, including access, distance and clean-air zones, is shown in your quote before you pay. What we quote is what you pay.

Steps to Book Same Day Removals in Leicester
- 01
A well-prepared machine is a safer and faster machine to move.
Our Leicester teams will always guide you through what we need from you before the job starts. Here's what typically applies.
- 02
disconnect and drain.
Any machine with fluid systems, whether coolant in a CNC machine, refrigerant in a commercial unit, or oil in hydraulic equipment, needs to be properly drained before we can lift it. Your engineer or the manufacturer's service team should handle this. We do not drain equipment ourselves, but we can refer you to local Leicester service contacts if needed.
- 03
secure loose parts.
Levers, handles, guards, and removable panels should be detached or tied off before the move. Anything that can shift during transit creates a risk of damage. Take photos of how parts were fitted so reinstallation is straightforward.
- 04
clear the route.
Make sure the path from the machine to the vehicle is clear of obstacles. Measure any doorways or corridor bottlenecks in advance and tell us when you book. If a door frame needs to be temporarily removed, arrange this beforehand. Our teams can do this on the day, but it adds time and therefore cost.
- 05
tell us everything upfront.
Floor type, weight, width, ceiling height, lift availability, and parking access all affect how we plan the move. The more detail you give us when you book, the faster and cheaper your job will be on the day. Call or use our app to give us full details when you request a quote.

Giant Van operations
Our Same Day Removals Commitment in Leicester
Leicester has a diverse industrial history, and many of its businesses still rely on heavy machinery as a core part of their operations. Giant Van understands the specific demands these sectors place on a machine mover.
The textile and garment industry, one of Leicester's oldest industries, still operates in the Highfields and Spinney Hills areas. Industrial sewing machines, cutting tables, and pattern press equipment are regular items for our teams. These machines are often dense, awkward in shape, and sensitive to knocks, so careful handling is essential.
The food production sector operates across several Leicester industrial estates. Commercial ovens, mixers, and refrigerated units are regular jobs. These items often have hygiene requirements that affect how they're packed and transported. We work with food businesses to ensure equipment is protected and arrives in usable condition.
Engineering and precision manufacturing businesses in Thurmaston and Syston often need CNC machines and lathes moved when sites change or production lines reorganise. These are among the most demanding machine moves we carry out. Weight, balance, and floor loading all have to be assessed before we lift anything.
Retail and leisure businesses throughout the city also call on us regularly. Gym equipment, arcade machines, large display units, and specialist retail fixtures all fall into the category of items that standard removal firms decline. We take them on.
Whatever sector you work in, if it involves a heavy or specialist machine in Leicester, call Giant Van on.
