Industrial Equipment Moving & Rigging Services

Industrial equipment moving typically uses cranes, forklifts, gantries, hydraulic jacks, skates, dollies, rigging slings, spreader bars, trailers, and specialized hauling equipment. The exact combination depends on the machine’s weight, dimensions, center of gravity, access limitations, and final placement requirements. For complex projects, planning tools and alignment instrumentation are also essential to ensure safe lifting, transport, and installation.

A proper move starts with reviewing equipment specifications, site access, floor conditions, lifting points, utility disconnects, transport routes, and placement tolerances. IPS coordinates rigging methods, manpower, sequencing, and logistics before work begins. This planning helps reduce downtime, avoid safety issues, and keep the project aligned with production schedules, budget expectations, and installation requirements.

Yes. IPS handles projects ranging from moving one piece of equipment onsite to relocating an entire production facility. The scope can include dismantling, rigging, heavy haul transport, millwright support, storage coordination, and final placement. This flexibility allows manufacturers to use one experienced partner for both targeted machinery moves and large-scale facility transitions.

IPS supports a wide range of industrial sectors, including automotive, food processing, plastics, die-casting, injection molding, paper manufacturing, printing, CNC machining, metal forming, coating systems, medical equipment, and automated production lines. That broad experience helps the team adapt to different machinery types, plant environments, compliance requirements, and production priorities across complex industrial settings.

IPS offers single-lift capabilities up to 800 tons, allowing the team to support demanding heavy rigging and transport projects. Capacity is only one part of the equation, though. Safe execution also depends on load geometry, lift radius, site conditions, access, and transport requirements. Each project is evaluated carefully to match the right equipment and rigging method to the load.

Yes. IPS has experience with permitting oversized loads and coordinating border-crossing logistics for machinery and equipment relocations. That support is important for projects moving assets intrastate, interstate, or out of the country. Proper permit management, route planning, and documentation help avoid delays and keep heavy haul projects moving efficiently and safely from origin to destination.

Yes. In addition to moving and rigging, IPS provides millwright services for equipment setting, alignment, leveling, and installation. The team works closely with OEM specifications and uses precise alignment and leveling instrumentation to help ensure machinery is positioned correctly. This is especially valuable when production equipment must be ready for startup, commissioning, or immediate operational use.

Downtime is reduced through detailed pre-planning, coordinated sequencing, proper staffing, and a turnkey approach that limits handoff gaps between trades. IPS structures projects to support on-time execution and minimize interruption to production schedules whenever possible. By combining rigging, transport, millwright, and project management capabilities, the team can keep complex moves organized and efficient from start to finish.
