We are capable of moving even the largest presses and machinery thanks to our specialized moving equipment, which includes gantries, airbags, lifting jacks, forklifts, and cranes. You can move your press anywhere in the United States, either within the same facility or from one place to another.

Our Press Rigging and Heavy Equipment Moving Capabilities

Press rigging includes moving heavy machinery and other large printing industry objects with specialty rigging equipment attached to a crane, jacks, or other forms of lifting device. Once secured, the printing machinery is then hoisted onto pallets, skids, or specially constructed carriers and then put onto trucks for movement to another location.

It’s worth noting that our experienced printing press movers also provide services even when you’re only moving heavy manufacturing or printing equipment throughout your own facility.

Choosing a Printing Press Rigging Partner

There are significant factors to consider while preparing for your heavy equipment shipping and relocation tasks. Partnering with reputable printing press movers will make the task come together easier. With the help of professional printing industry rigging partners, you can ensure safe and effective results. To help prepare you for this type of project, there are some things to remember.

  • Prepare a list of all printing equipment to be relocated, including the make and model. This will help the press rigging machinery movers identify the type of rigging equipment needed, as well as the number of vehicles required to transport your equipment.
  • Before your scheduled move, confirm with your printing press movers that insurance and other essential permissions are in place. These specifications may vary based on the type of equipment being transported and the mode of shipment.
  • Prepare for the move in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. This may require draining the oil and other fluids, disconnecting wires and hoses, fastening loose pieces, and removing sensitive electronic components. Prior to shipping, equipment that cannot be exposed to the weather should also be covered. Our millwright services team can assist with this portion of the project.

You can trust that the Murphy Rigging team follows safety practices and procedures to deconstruct, load, transport, and reassemble your equipment safely. Our press rigging solutions team consists of certified spotters who search for potential hazards and watch for any surprise obstacles that may hinder the effort. No matter the scope of the project, we will see it through to the end.
