FAQs
What types of cranes are commonly used in rigging projects?
Cranes used in rigging projects vary depending on the specific requirements of the job. Common types include mobile cranes (such as hydraulic cranes and truck-mounted cranes), tower cranes, overhead cranes, and gantry cranes. The choice of crane depends on factors like the weight and size of the load, the height and reach needed, and the site conditions.
How do you determine the cost of crane and rigging services?
The cost of crane and rigging services depends on several factors, including the type and size of crane needed, the duration of the project, the complexity of the rigging requirements, and any additional services such as transportation and permits. It’s best to request a quote based on the specific details of your project to get an accurate estimate of costs.
What safety measures are in place during rigging operations?
When it comes to rigging operations, safety is crucial for safeguarding both personnel and assets. The use of safety harnesses and personal protective equipment (PPE), adherence to weight restrictions and load calculations, thorough equipment inspection and maintenance, appropriate training for operators and riggers, and following set procedures for lifting and moving loads are all examples of safety measures. Updating processes and conducting regular safety audits contribute to the preservation of a secure workplace.
Do you provide rigging services for specialized industries or projects?

Whether you require assistance with handling delicate equipment, installing structural components, or lifting large machinery, our team of experts can customize our services to match the unique requirements of your project and industry. We collaborate closely with customers to provide specialized rigging solutions that put accuracy, efficiency, and safety first.
What steps are involved in the rigging process from start to finish?
The rigging process typically begins with a thorough assessment of the project requirements, including the size and weight of the load, site conditions, and any potential hazards. Next, our team develops a detailed rigging plan that outlines the equipment needed, lifting techniques, and safety measures. Once the plan is approved, we mobilize our crew and equipment to the site and begin the rigging operation, which may involve assembling and positioning the crane, attaching rigging equipment to the load, and carefully lifting and moving the load to its destination. Throughout the process, we maintain constant communication and vigilance to ensure the safety and efficiency of the operation.
