Rapid Logistics
We take the refrigeration or air conditioning compressor off your hands at the plant and hand it back running — decommissioning, rigging, transport, overhaul, transport back, reinstallation and recommissioning assistance, under one job number.
Getting a semi-hermetic screw out of a plant room is not the easy half of the job. It is the half with the most people in it: a rigger who cannot get in until the refrigerant is out, a transporter who arrives while the pipework is still connected, a workshop that will not book bench time until the unit lands. Every handover is a day, and every day is your client asking you where their compressor is. We removed that problem by doing all of it ourselves.

When you'd call us for this
- A screw compressor has failed in a data centre chiller and the plant room is three floors up.
- You hold the maintenance contract and the site knowledge, but not the lifting and transport capability — and you would rather not hand your client to somebody who has both.
- A cold store or bakery is losing product and the unit has to come out tonight.
What we need from you
- Compressor make
- Model and serial number
- Application — cold room, freezer room, process cooling, chiller, air conditioning, blast freezer
- Fault symptoms — what it is doing, what tripped, what you have already checked
- Site access — plant room location, floor level, door and stair widths, whether a crane or gantry is needed, site induction requirements
Photos of the nameplate and the plant room save a site visit.
