Heavy Lift & Heavy Haul Services in Louisiana

Heavy lift logistics is the planning and execution required to move or lift oversized, overweight, or high-value equipment safely. It typically includes route studies, rigging plans, crane selection, permitting, escort coordination, loading, transport, unloading, and site sequencing. For industrial projects, it also often involves minimizing downtime, protecting equipment, and coordinating multiple trades under one schedule.

IPS can handle a wide range of industrial machinery and equipment, from single production machines to large process systems and complete facility assets. Their experience includes material handling equipment, injection molding machines, presses, furnaces, CNC machinery, automated welding cells, assembly lines, and other heavy industrial components requiring specialized lifting and transport.

IPS offers single-lift capabilities up to 800 tons. That capacity supports major industrial lifts involving large machinery, structural components, and process equipment. The right lifting method still depends on load dimensions, pick radius, site access, ground conditions, and rigging requirements, so each project is evaluated carefully before equipment and lift plans are finalized.

Yes. IPS has experience with permitting oversized loads and coordinating the logistics needed for safe transport. That can include route planning, dimensional reviews, escort requirements, scheduling, and compliance steps for intrastate and interstate moves. For complex industrial shipments, permit coordination is a critical part of reducing delays and keeping the project moving on schedule.

IPS plans machinery moving and relocation work to limit disruption wherever possible. Projects are sequenced around production needs, access constraints, and installation timelines so equipment can be moved efficiently and safely. Their turnkey approach helps reduce handoff issues between contractors, which can shorten downtime and support a smoother transition for active industrial facilities.

Yes. IPS offers turnkey project support that can include planning, scheduling, dismantling, rigging, lifting, transportation, storage coordination, and reinstallation support. This single-source approach helps reduce risk, eliminate service gaps, and simplify communication. For clients managing large industrial moves, it creates clearer accountability and a more efficient path from pre-planning through startup.

IPS serves a broad range of industrial sectors, including automotive, food processing, plastics, paper manufacturing, metal forming, printing, heat treating, medical equipment, and automated manufacturing. That cross-industry experience is valuable because each environment has different tolerances, safety requirements, scheduling pressures, and equipment handling needs that must be addressed during transport and lifting.

Safety is central to heavy lift and heavy haul work because every move involves significant planning, equipment control, and site coordination. IPS states that its safety policies and procedures are OSHA/TOSHA compliant, and its project approach emphasizes planning, organizing, and scheduling. That foundation helps support safer execution for lifts, transport operations, and industrial relocation activities.
