Machinery Moving in Everett
Moving Equipment for Everett's Aerospace and Manufacturing Plants
Everett is one of the busiest manufacturing centers in the Northwest. Paine Field is home to Boeing's widebody assembly plant and a dense ring of aerospace suppliers, machine shops, composite fabricators and electronics makers, with more plants running north through Marysville and Arlington. Snell Crane Service moves the equipment those shops depend on.
Precision machines don't forgive a rough move. Our project managers walk the plant first, measuring doors, floor loading and the route, and work with your maintenance and quality teams on tie-down points, shipping brackets and where each machine has to land. Our NCCCO-certified operators and riggers have worked the I-5 corridor since 1992, and we're open 24/7 to fit your shutdown window.
Local Know-How
Paine Field, the Port and the Cascade Industrial Center
Most Everett manufacturing sits in three areas: the Paine Field and Southwest Everett industrial area along SR-526, the waterfront and Port of Everett, and the Cascade Industrial Center between Marysville and Arlington. Many plants are large, secured campuses, so we plan site access, badging and escorts with your team before move day.
Our trailers come up I-5 and reach Paine Field on SR-526 or the plants north of town on SR-531 and SR-9. We haul on our own trailers and handle the oversize permits, so the machine and the crew to set it arrive together.

FAQ
Everett Questions
Can you move precision machines without knocking them out of calibration?
We plan for it. We work with your maintenance team and the machine maker's instructions on shipping brackets, lift points and tie-downs, use air skates and gantries for sensitive equipment, and set each machine where your installers need it for leveling and recalibration.
Do you travel from Olympia for Everett jobs?
Yes. We work the whole I-5 corridor, and our project managers plan the haul, the crew and the permits so everything arrives on schedule.
Can you work inside a secured aerospace plant?
Yes. We plan site access, badging, escorts and safety requirements with your team before the move, and work in shutdown windows, nights or weekends.
