Certified Crane & Rigging Services

Crane certification requirements vary by role. Operators typically need formal training, written and practical testing, documented experience, and compliance with employer, site, and regulatory requirements. For crane and rigging projects, companies should also follow established safety procedures, verify qualifications for operators and riggers, and maintain equipment inspections and lift planning documentation before work begins.

IPS supports a wide range of industrial lifting projects, including machinery moving, equipment setting, plant relocations, heavy haul coordination, and complex rigging for large production assets. The company works on projects ranging from moving a single piece of equipment onsite to relocating major machinery across state lines or internationally, using specialized equipment and coordinated planning.

IPS currently offers single-lift capabilities up to 800 tons. That capacity allows the team to support demanding industrial projects involving heavy machinery, structural components, and oversized equipment. Lift feasibility still depends on site conditions, access, load dimensions, rigging requirements, and safety planning, so each project should be reviewed in detail before execution.

Yes. IPS provides heavy haul support alongside crane and rigging services for projects that require both lifting and transportation. The team has experience relocating heavy machinery intrastate, interstate, and out of the country, including permitting oversized loads and coordinating border-crossing logistics when needed. This integrated approach helps streamline scheduling and reduce project handoffs.

IPS plans projects to minimize disruption to production schedules whenever possible. Their team coordinates lifting, transport, and placement activities carefully so equipment moves can be completed efficiently and safely. While every facility has different operational constraints, IPS emphasizes scheduling, planning, and turnkey coordination to help clients reduce downtime and avoid unnecessary interruptions during project execution.

IPS serves a broad range of industrial sectors, including automotive, food processing, plastics, paper manufacturing, printing, CNC machinery, metal forming, healthcare-related equipment, and automated production environments. This cross-industry experience helps the team adapt to different equipment types, plant layouts, tolerances, and compliance expectations while maintaining safe and efficient lifting and rigging practices.

Turnkey crane and rigging services reduce the number of vendors involved in a project, which can lower risk and simplify communication. IPS integrates multiple disciplines under one coordinated approach, helping clients avoid scheduling gaps, fee layering, and finger-pointing between contractors. That structure can improve efficiency, support on-time completion, and make complex industrial projects easier to manage.

Before work begins, key factors should include load weight and dimensions, pick points, site access, ground conditions, clearance issues, equipment selection, transport needs, and safety procedures. Industrial projects may also require scheduling around production, permitting for oversized loads, and coordination with other trades. A thorough pre-project review helps improve safety, timing, and overall execution quality.
