Mechanical and Electrical Commissioning

While many industries recognise Vanguard’s expertise in specialist transport and heavy lift services, the automotive and industrial sectors also benefit from our mechanical and electrical commissioning team. This allows Vanguard to offer a comprehensive, full service solution to clients, managing the entire project scope from project cargo shipping through to commissioning. By serving as the sole supplier, Vanguard streamlines the project timeline and adds value, minimising the number of contractors clients must coordinate with. This approach ensures clearer communication channels and greater efficiency, ultimately enhancing the overall project experience.

Diverse Equipment Fleet

We have carefully tailored our equipment fleet to meet the demands of the automotive and industrial industries. Through consistent investment, Vanguard offer a diverse range of hydraulic gantries, jacking systems and cranes, meaning our fleet is equipped to handle installation projects of any scale or complexity within these sectors. Our LBP360 jacking system was the first of its kind on the continent and due to the design of the system, it can be repeatedly remobilised between loads to complete numerous lifts on a single project, saving significant time and costs. Similarly, our investment in Ormig pick and carry cranes allows us to provide further value to our clients by minimising disruption to their operations and reducing the need for larger cranes or heavy lift equipment to be mobilised. This is due to its concise design to handle loads in tight and restrictive spaces. Both examples adding value to our installation services, alongside our mechanical and electrical commissioning expertise.

From the initial inception of a project, our involvement includes the management of every individual stage of the process, ensuring the delivery of a complete solution and peace of mind to every client we work with.
