Industrial Rigging Services

An industrial rigger plans and executes the safe lifting, moving, positioning, and securing of heavy equipment or machinery. This includes selecting rigging gear, calculating load requirements, coordinating cranes or transport equipment, and following strict safety procedures. Industrial riggers are commonly involved in plant relocations, machinery installations, shutdown work, and other projects where precision handling is critical.

A rigging service is a specialized industrial service focused on lifting, moving, and placing heavy or oversized equipment safely. It often includes crane support, load planning, rigging hardware selection, transport coordination, and onsite positioning. For industrial facilities, rigging services are essential when installing new machinery, relocating production lines, or handling equipment too large for standard material handling methods.

Industrial rigging is the process of safely handling heavy machinery, production equipment, and structural components in manufacturing or industrial environments. It combines technical planning, specialized lifting equipment, trained crews, and safety controls to move loads accurately. Industrial rigging is commonly used for machinery moving, plant expansions, equipment replacements, facility relocations, and other projects where downtime and risk must be carefully managed.

IPS offers single-lift capabilities up to 800 tons, allowing our team to support a wide range of heavy industrial lifting projects. Capacity requirements depend on the load, lift path, site conditions, and equipment access. Before work begins, the project is evaluated to determine the safest lifting method, proper rigging configuration, and any crane, transport, or support equipment needed for execution.

Yes. IPS is equipped to plan machinery moves around production schedules whenever possible. Projects are coordinated to reduce downtime, maintain workflow continuity, and avoid unnecessary disruption to plant operations. This may include phased moves, off-shift scheduling, detailed sequencing, and turnkey coordination with other trades so equipment can be relocated, installed, or removed as efficiently as possible.

Yes. IPS provides heavy haul support for oversized industrial equipment and has experience with permitting oversized loads and coordinating border crossings. Transport planning typically includes route review, load securement, scheduling, and logistics management to help ensure safe and compliant movement. This is especially valuable for facility relocations, large machinery transfers, and projects involving interstate or international transport.

IPS supports a broad range of industrial sectors, including automotive, food processing, plastics, paper manufacturing, printing, CNC machining, metal forming, coating systems, healthcare-related equipment, and automated welding environments. This cross-industry experience helps our team adapt to different equipment types, plant layouts, regulatory considerations, and production requirements while maintaining precision, safety, and schedule control.

Yes. IPS offers turnkey project support that can extend beyond rigging to include machinery moving, millwright services, fabrication, mechanical work, electrical support, demolition, construction, and project management. This integrated approach reduces coordination issues between vendors, limits service gaps, and gives clients a single point of accountability for complex industrial projects from planning through plant start-up.
