Specialists transport and lifting services

Towing Service

Stanley Group makes moving towable units simple, safe, and reliable. From welfare cabins to caravans, we handle single moves, site-to-site transfers, and urgent project deliveries with ease.

Our Euro 6-compliant Ford Ranger 4×4 fleet offers up to 3,500kg towing capacity perfect for a wide range of units. Built for rough terrain yet compliant with low-emission zones, they’re equally at home on construction sites or in busy city centres.

Every job is carried out with precision, punctuality, and professionalism, ensuring your units arrive safely, on time, and with zero fuss.

Modular Building Relocations

Offering a fully Council-approved service, we specialise in modular building relocations, disposals, and on-site demolitions nationwide. With more than 30 years of experience, our team ensures every project is carried out safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards.

From careful dismantling into transportable sections to precision crane lifts and transport via David Stanley Transport, we handle everything even complex moves over existing buildings or into challenging sites. Once relocated, trained fitters expertly refit fascias, covers, and seals, leaving the building ready for immediate use.

Trusted across the UK, we’re the experts in modular building relocations.

Cabin & Module Building Disposal / Recycling

Sometimes modular buildings need to be removed either because they’re no longer required or have reached the end of their usable life. In most cases, we can take units away in one piece without the need for on-site demolition, keeping disruption to a minimum.

Where possible, buildings are refurbished for resale or dismantled into components for recycling. If refurbishment is an option, this is reflected in a reduced disposal cost. Our focus is always on minimising environmental impact, ensuring every building is either reused or responsibly recycled.

Machine Skating

When heavy machinery needs moving in tight or restricted spaces, traditional cranes or forklifts aren’t always an option. That’s where our specialist machine skating service comes in. Using a system of rollers and platforms, we can safely and precisely manoeuvre equipment where access is limited.

This method allows us to position large assets exactly where they’re needed without risk of damage or unnecessary downtime. Efficient, controlled, and highly reliable, machine skating is the ideal solution for relocating or installing heavy equipment in confined environments.
