Commercial Kitchen Equipment

Commercial ovens, fryers, grills, dishwashers, prep stations, and ventilation hoods. Whether single pieces or full kitchen lines, we ensure proper padding, securing, and climate-appropriate transport.

Refrigeration & Cold Storage

Walk-in coolers, freezers, refrigerated display cases, and ice machines. Temperature-sensitive equipment requires careful handling and protection from the elements during transit.

Restaurant Fitout & Furniture

Booths, tables, bar counters, point-of-sale systems, and signage. Restaurant fitout moves often involve multiple fragile and high-value pieces that require coordinated delivery to meet opening timelines.

Specialty & Fragile Equipment

Espresso machines, pizza ovens, smokers, specialty brewing equipment, and custom fabrications. These high-value, often delicate items require extra care, custom crating, and vibration protection during transport.

If your equipment type is not listed, contact us. If it belongs in a kitchen, bar, bakery, or restaurant, we can coordinate the move.

Built For Restaurant Openings & Relocations

Food service equipment moves are rarely isolated events. They are tied to restaurant openings, renovation schedules, franchise rollouts, and seasonal menu expansions.

We work directly with:

  • Restaurant owners & operators
  • General contractors & designers
  • Kitchen equipment dealers
  • Franchise groups
  • Hospitality procurement teams

Whether you are opening a new location or relocating an entire kitchen across provinces, we align transport with your timeline.
