Heavy Machinery Rigging & Crane Services

Heavy equipment rigging is the process of planning, lifting, moving, positioning, and securing large industrial machinery using cranes, hoists, slings, jacks, skates, and other specialized tools. It requires load calculations, lift planning, proper attachment methods, and experienced crews to protect equipment, maintain site safety, and place machinery accurately during installation, relocation, or removal.

IPS handles a wide range of industrial equipment, including die-casting machines, conveyors, injection molding systems, metal forming equipment, furnaces, CNC machinery, robotic welding cells, assembly lines, extrusion lines, printing presses, and medical or lab equipment. The team also supports full production line moves and facility relocations, not just single-machine projects.

IPS offers single-lift capabilities up to 800 tons, allowing the team to support demanding industrial lifting projects involving large machinery, structural components, and oversized equipment. Capacity requirements are matched to the specific project through planning, equipment selection, and site evaluation so lifts can be completed safely, efficiently, and in line with operational constraints.

Safety starts with planning. IPS follows OSHA/TOSHA compliant safety policies and procedures and uses experienced personnel, specialized equipment, and disciplined coordination throughout each phase. Crews evaluate load requirements, site conditions, access points, and equipment specifications before work begins. That preparation helps reduce risk, protect personnel, and safeguard valuable machinery during lifting and transport.

This single-source approach helps reduce communication gaps, avoid fee layering, and keep responsibilities clear. For clients, that often means fewer delays, less risk, and a more efficient path from planning to plant start-up.
