Specialized equipment exists for relocating manufactured housing. This equipment typically involves hydraulic systems to lift the structure and a series of wheeled dollies or a large, unified platform for transport. The process requires careful planning and execution, often involving disconnecting utilities and preparing the home for transit.
Relocating these structures offers significant advantages, allowing homeowners flexibility and cost savings compared to traditional moves. Historically, moving a prefabricated dwelling was a complex undertaking. Advancements in this specialized equipment have streamlined the process, making it more efficient and safer.
