What Is Heavy Machinery Rigging?
Heavy machinery rigging is a specialized technique for lifting and moving heavy machinery, such as cranes, turbines, and generators. Rigging involves cables or chains attached to the machinery, which are then connected to various lifting equipment like winches or pulleys. Heavy rigging should be done carefully and securely to ensure that it is safe and doesn't cause any damage.

Even a simple mistake can lead to costly damage or even destroy one of your most important assets. Don't leave this specialized and difficult job to just any moving company. Trust our team of reputable rigging experts who have the experience you can count on.

Essential Rigging Equipment for Safe Heavy Machinery Transport
- Hoists and Winches: Hoists and winches are essential components of a rigging system. They are used to lift and lower heavy machinery and equipment. Electric, hydraulic, and manual hoists are available to suit various lifting requirements.
- Slings: Slings are flexible straps or ropes used to secure loads and distribute weight evenly. Common types of slings include wire rope slings, chain slings, nylon web slings, and round slings.
- Shackles: Shackles are U-shaped metal connectors used to link different components of the rigging system, such as slings, hooks, and lifting points. They come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different load capacities and attachment methods.
- Hooks: Hooks are used to attach slings or other lifting devices to the load. They can have different configurations, such as eye hooks, clevis hooks, or grab hooks, depending on the application.
- Blocks and Sheaves: Blocks and sheaves are pulley systems that can be used to change the direction of a load or provide mechanical advantage. They are often used in complex rigging setups to make lifting and positioning more manageable.
- Lifting Beams and Spreader Bars: Lifting beams and spreader bars are designed to provide stability and balance when lifting irregularly shaped or unbalanced loads. They distribute the load across multiple attachment points.
- Wire Rope and Chain: High-strength wire rope and chain are used to create durable slings and rigging assemblies. They come in various sizes and configurations to handle different load capacities.
- Tirfor Winches: Tirfor winches, also known as hand-operated winches, are portable and versatile tools used for lifting and pulling heavy loads in tight spaces or remote locations.
- Cranes: Cranes are larger pieces of heavy equipment used for lifting and moving extremely heavy machinery and loads. They come in various types, such as mobile cranes, tower cranes, and overhead cranes.
- Load Cells: Load cells are devices used to measure the weight of a load during lifting operations. They provide valuable information for ensuring that the load is within safe working limits.
- Rigging Accessories: This category includes items like turnbuckles, eyebolts, and swivels, which are used to fine-tune rigging setups and provide flexibility in load handling.
- Safety Equipment: Safety gear such as harnesses, helmets, gloves, and fall protection systems is crucial for the safety of rigging personnel during operations.
- Transportation Equipment: In addition to lifting, rigging often involves the movement of heavy machinery. Equipment like flatbed trucks, trailers, and specialized transport vehicles may be used to transport machinery to and from job sites.
It's important to note that the choice of equipment depends on the specific requirements of the rigging project, including the weight and dimensions of the load, the working environment, and safety regulations. Our professionals always select and use equipment that is appropriate for the task at hand to ensure safety and efficiency.
