About This Service
Precision Rigging for Heavy & Sensitive Equipment
Rigging and lifting is far more than just hooking up a crane. It requires engineered planning, certified crews, precise gear, and an exact understanding of weight distribution and ground stability. Whether you are loading a 100-ton press onto a multi-axle trailer or maneuvering a CNC machine into a new plant, we plan and execute the entire operation end-to-end.
Our rigging and millwright teams handle plant relocations, machinery installations, oversize loading, and precision indoor placements. We bring our own specialized gear, including mobile cranes, hydraulic gantries, Versa-Lifts, and heavy jacking systems, along with experienced riggers and a dedicated project manager who oversees the move from initial quote to final sign-off.
Manufacturers, energy plants, machine shops, and general contractors rely on us to engineer the lift, manage the permits, coordinate with site crews, and set your iron exactly where it needs to go: on time, within spec, and with zero damage.
What We Deliver
Rigging & Lifting Done Right
Mobile & Crawler Crane Lifts
Hydraulic mobile cranes (50T–500T+) and crawler cranes for confined sites, multi-pick lifts, and tandem operations.
Jacking & Skating
Hydraulic jacks, air skates, and rolling systems to move equipment inside facilities where cranes can't reach.
Versa-Lifts & Hydraulic Gantries
Up to 60-ton Versa-Lifts and hydraulic gantry systems for in-plant heavy moves and tight-clearance lifts.
Loading & Unloading
Oversize and overweight loading onto lowboys, RGNs, step decks, and Schnabel trailers.
Millwright & Plant Rigging
Full plant relocations, machine line moves, anchor bolt installs, and precision leveling.
Engineered Lift Plans
Stamped lift plans, rigging calculations, ground bearing analysis, and OSHA-compliant lift documentation.
Rigging In Action
Engineered Lifts, Executed Right
Mobile cranes, crawler cranes, hydraulic gantries and Versa-Lifts sized to the load, planned to the inch.
Heavy Mobile Crane Picks
50T–500T+ mobile cranes for plant moves, machinery installs and load-outs.
Hydraulic Gantry Systems
Low-clearance and confined-space plant moves require specialized rigging alternatives to conventional cranes. We utilize high-capacity hydraulic gantries, heavy-duty jacking, and air-bearing skate systems to maneuver high-value machinery through tight indoor footprints while protecting delicate concrete and epoxy floors.
Crane Lifting Heavy Construction Equipment
Oversized construction and earthmoving equipment often requires controlled crane loading before transport. We coordinate certified lifting plans, proper rigging, and heavy-haul trailer positioning to safely load bulldozers, loaders, excavators, and other high-value machinery while minimizing downtime and reducing the risk of damage during handling and transportation.

Good To Know
Why Engineered Rigging Matters
-
01
Engineered Lift Plans: Complete stamped engineering reviews for critical lifts, including loads exceeding 75 percent crane capacity or $1M in total asset value.
-
02
Certified Personnel: Mandatory NCCCO certified operators alongside OSHA qualified riggers and signalpersons on every job site.
-
03
Soil & Ground Analysis: Rigorous ground bearing pressure calculations to select proper outrigger pads and heavy crane matting before setup.
-
04
OEM Compliance: Strict adherence to manufacturer specified lifting points and rigging protocols for high value CNCs, transformers, and heavy presses.
-
05
Tandem Lift Precision: Dual crane operations backed by synchronized signaling and engineered load distribution models.
-
06
Smart Method Selection: Cost efficient alternatives like heavy hydraulic jacking and skating systems for tight indoor plant relocations.
