What is industrial rigging?

Industrial rigging is the engineered lifting, moving, and setting of heavy or oversized equipment — machines, generators, transformers, and full production lines — that is too large or heavy for a standard move. Riggers calculate the load, select cranes and jacking gear, control the lift, and place each piece exactly where it belongs, level and ready to run.

When to call a rigger

If it can’t go on a dolly, it needs rigging.

Standard movers stop where the weight, height, and tolerances begin. Rigging takes over for the equipment that keeps a business running — and we have the gear and the crew for all of it.

■
Machinery too heavy to rollPresses, lathes, CNC centers, and lines beyond forklift or pallet-jack capacity.
■
Tight access & low clearancesDoorways, mezzanines, low ceilings, basements, and rooftop sets where inches matter.
■
Precision placement & levelingEquipment that must land on a foundation, anchor pattern, or isolation pads within tight tolerance.
■
High-value or sensitive loadsImaging equipment, transformers, and one-of-a-kind machines where failure isn’t an option.
■
Plant moves & installsRelocating or commissioning a line, cell, or whole facility on a production deadline.
■
Over-dimensional transportLoads that need lowboys, permits, and route planning to reach the next site.
Equipment & capacity

A complete fleet to lift it, slide it, and set it.

We bring our own rigging equipment to every job, so lifts stay coordinated, accountable, and on one schedule — no handoffs between vendors, and no job we’re not equipped for.

How it works

Every lift is engineered before anything moves.

A documented plan is the difference between a routine set and an incident. Here’s how a Brandon rigging project runs.

1
Site survey & load engineering

We assess weight, dimensions, center of gravity, rigging points, floor loading, and the full path — door widths, ceiling heights, turns, and transport access — before quoting.

2
Rigging & lift plan

An engineered plan selects the gear, sets crane or gantry positions, calculates loads at every pick point, and documents the sequence and risk controls your facility and insurer expect.

3
Permits & logistics

For over-dimensional moves we handle route surveys, oversized-load permits, and escorts, and coordinate utility, crane, and facility scheduling.

4
Disconnect, rig & move

Our crew disconnects and preps the equipment, rigs it, and lifts, skates, or jacks it along the planned path — then loads and transports if the job moves off-site.

5
Set, align & level

We place the equipment on its foundation or anchor pattern, level it to tolerance, and secure it — ready for reconnection and commissioning.

6
Walkthrough & sign-off

A final inspection, documentation, and a clean site. One accountable crew from survey to set — no finger-pointing between vendors.

Questions, answered

Industrial rigging FAQ

How much does industrial rigging cost?

Rigging is quoted per job, not by a flat rate — cost depends on the equipment’s weight and dimensions, the gear required (crane, gantry, or jacking), site access, distance, permits, and crew size. After a site survey we provide a firm, itemized quote.

Seasonal rates may vary.

What’s the difference between rigging and moving?

Moving handles furniture and goods that can be carried or rolled. Rigging handles heavy, oversized, or sensitive equipment that must be engineered, lifted with specialized gear, and precisely set — machinery, transformers, imaging equipment, and production lines. Brandon does both, so one call covers the whole job.

How heavy a load can you handle?

Whatever the size — we have the cranes, gantries, and jacking systems to rig loads of any weight, and the engineering to plan the lift. Send the equipment’s weight and dimensions and we’ll confirm the approach.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes — Brandon is fully licensed and insured, with documented lift plans and OSHA-compliant, certified rigging crews on every job.

Do you handle permits for oversized loads?

Yes — we manage Florida over-dimensional and overweight permits, route surveys, and escorts as part of heavy-haul projects, so transport stays legal and on schedule.

Can you move a CNC machine, press, or transformer?

Yes. CNC machines, stamping and industrial presses, transformers, generators, chillers, and imaging equipment are routine work — disconnected, rigged, transported if needed, and set and leveled to tolerance.

Do you offer emergency or after-hours rigging?

Yes — emergency and after-hours rigging is available to keep production moving and minimize downtime.

What areas do you serve?

We’re based in West Palm Beach and serve Palm Beach County, South Florida, and statewide on project work — with the fleet to travel for the right job.

Have something heavy to move?

Send the equipment, the site, and the deadline — we’ll survey it and come back with an engineered plan and a firm quote. No job too big, none too small.

Every rigging and heavy-haul job is quoted individually after a site survey. Seasonal rates may vary.
