Empowering Safer, Faster, More Cost-Effective Installations

Introduction

Heat pump installations are increasing; pumps are getting bigger and heavier and so is the pressure on installers to deliver high-quality work quickly, safely, and cost-effectively. One of the biggest challenges is - Moving the heat pump into place.

Manual handling, lifting with a team, or arranging forklifts and additional labour not only slows you down but it increases the effort required, risk to injury, risks to pump damage, your cost and your stress.

That’s why the Heat Pump Mover is such a “game changer”.

The Problem with Traditional Handling

Installers are often faced with:

  • Heavy Lifting – Outdoor units can weigh 70–200kg or more.

  • Difficult Terrains - mud, grass, narrow gaps or steps offer more challenges.

  • Additional Resourcs – Extra hands or site support is often needed.

  • Injury Risks – Strain injuries, dropped units, or awkward maneuvering are common.

  • Delays – Waiting for help or equipment kills productivity.

  • Higher Costs – Labour, equipment hire, and downtime all eat into margin.

Is The Heat Pump Mover A Smarter Alternative?

This simple, robust, purpose-built tool eliminates the need for manual lifting during delivery and positioning of air source heat pumps. Here’s how it transforms your install process:

✅ No More Lifting

  • Load the heat pump onto the Mover straight from the van or pallet.

  • Secure it safely and move it across gravel, grass, or paving—without strain.

✅ Single Engineer Operation Enabled

  • One installer can receive, transport, and position the heat pump.

  • Frees up the lead installer to start setting up the install—parallel progress = faster jobs.

✅ No Need for Forklifts or Extra Hands

  • Eliminate the cost, scheduling, and coordination hassle of hiring help or machinery.

  • Reduces reliance on others—especially on smaller or rural jobs.

✅ Works on Challenging Terrain

  • Engineered to handle uneven ground, tight passages, and variable surfaces without losing control or damaging the unit.

✅ Quick Payback

  • Save hours on every install.

  • Avoid injury-related downtime or insurance claims.

  • Protects units from damage, avoiding expensive reorders or replacements.

Real-World Benefit: A Case in Practice:

“We used to send two engineers just to get the unit in place. Now, one guy gets it round the back while the other starts the pipework. It easily saves 1–2 hours on site, and it’s way safer.” — Lead Installer, Midlands-based Heat Pump Company
