Report
Cal Machine Movers was contracted out to pick up a large woodworking tool from my residential garage. I expected the whole process to be as time consuming as it was to get the machine into my garage, but they had the machine out and on the back of a truck within 20 minutes. They were on time and very professional, and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing heavy machinery to be moved. They were also able to work very well in the confines of my small garage. Great experience working with them and I will absolutely use them for future moving needs.

We have used this company multiple times over the past couple of years and they are incredible. As a protein bar manufacturer we have a lot of very large, heavy, delicate and expensive equipment that they move around perfectly. If you need to move equipment, this is the best company to do that. Also, just from personal experience, if you are at all unsure if you should try to move equipment yourself, please don't. Most forklifts are not designed for extremely heavy or oddly shaped equipment and it is just not worth the risk.
