Logistics Management Services

Complete Project Logistics for Complex Moves and Relocations

Large-scale projects demand logistics management that goes beyond standard freight shipping. When you're relocating an entire facility, coordinating construction site deliveries, or moving heavy industrial equipment, you need project logistics expertise that handles every detail from initial planning through final installation. At C&D Logistics, we've spent over 25 years managing complex industrial relocation services and multi-phase transportation projects. Our experienced logistics managers coordinate equipment requiring permits and pilot cars, handle construction site deliveries with strict schedules, and manage warehouse relocations that minimize operational disruption. With access to over 5,000 specialized carriers and partnerships with rigging companies, crane operators, and temporary storage facilities, we assemble the resources your project requires.

Industrial Relocation Services

Facility Relocations and Plant Moves

Moving manufacturing equipment, production lines, or entire facilities presents unique challenges. Our industrial relocation services coordinate every phase to keep business disruption minimal. We work with your operations team to develop relocation logistics that sequence moves strategically: critical equipment gets prioritized, production lines relocate in stages that maintain partial capacity, and we arrange temporary storage when timing gaps exist between facilities.

Warehouse Relocation Logistics

Warehouse relocations involve more than just moving inventory. Our relocation logistics services coordinate the specialized carriers, labour, and equipment that warehouse moves demand, including racking system dismantling and reinstallation, material handling equipment transport, and inventory organization throughout the transition.

We can arrange temporary warehousing when timing gaps exist between old and new facilities. Our 25,000 square feet of warehouse space in Surrey provides short-term storage that bridges relocation schedules.

Construction Site Logistics

Construction projects need coordinated delivery to sites with limited access and tight timelines. Our project logistics services manage construction site deliveries that arrive when crews need them without clogging staging areas. We coordinate with general contractors on site access restrictions, delivery windows, and material storage capabilities. Freight consolidation groups multiple supplier shipments into coordinated deliveries that reduce congestion at job sites.

Heavy Lift and Oversized Project Logistics

Specialized Equipment Transport

Moving oversized, overweight, or overlength freight requires comprehensive coordination. Our project logistics team manages:

• Permit applications with transportation authorities across Canada and the U.S.
• Route planning that identifies bridge weight restrictions, overhead clearances, and challenging turns
• Pilot car coordination when required
• Utility company coordination for line raises

We handle the complex planning that heavy lift transportation demands, ensuring your industrial equipment, construction machinery, or other oversized freight moves safely and legally.

Craning and Rigging Coordination

Loading and unloading heavy equipment often requires crane services and rigging expertise. Our project logistics services coordinate certified riggers, arrange crane rentals, and schedule lift operations that align with carrier availability and site readiness. Whether you're moving CNC machines, printing presses, transformers, or other heavy industrial equipment, we arrange the specialized lifting services your freight requires.

Project Logistics Planning and Execution

Comprehensive Project Management

Complex relocation logistics and industrial moves benefit from dedicated project management. Our experienced logistics managers serve as single points of contact who coordinate all elements of your project. Services include:

• Detailed transportation planning and scheduling
• Permit and approval coordination
• Carrier scheduling across multiple origins and destinations
• Temporary storage arrangement
• Budget management and cost tracking
• Progress reporting and issue resolution

We track every shipment, communicate regularly, and adjust plans when circumstances change.

Multi-Phase Coordination

Large projects rarely move in single shipments. Our logistics management coordinates multi-phase projects where timing between phases matters as much as individual shipment execution. We develop master schedules that sequence shipments logically, coordinate dependencies between phases, and maintain flexibility for adjustments.

Specialized Project Logistics Services

Some projects require resources beyond transportation. Our project logistics team can arrange equipment rentals including forklifts, pallet jacks, and specialized rigging gear. We also coordinate temporary labour to supplement your team during relocations, providing experienced personnel for warehouse work, equipment installation, and freight handling. When projects involve multiple suppliers, we offer freight consolidation services that group smaller shipments into economical loads, reducing costs and simplifying receiving.
