Expert Industrial Rigging Service Solutions

Industrial rigging is the planning, securing, lifting, moving, and positioning of heavy machinery or oversized equipment. It often involves cranes, specialized rigging gear, load securement, route planning, permits, and coordination between transportation and job-site teams. The goal is to move valuable or difficult freight safely into its final position while reducing risk, downtime, and handling errors.

A rigging service provides the expertise, equipment coordination, and safety planning needed to lift, secure, relocate, and install heavy loads. For industrial projects, this can include site assessments, crane coordination, specialized trailer selection, load securement, permitting support, and final placement. Sims Global Solutions pairs rigging coordination with heavy haul logistics for a more complete start-to-finish solution.

Industrial rigging is commonly used for manufacturing machinery, construction equipment, aerospace components, material handling systems, modular structures, generators, presses, medical manufacturing equipment, and other oversized or high-value assets. Loads that are too tall, wide, heavy, delicate, or awkwardly shaped for standard freight often require a planned rigging and specialized transport solution.

Safe rigging starts with accurate load details, including weight, dimensions, center of gravity, lifting points, site access, and final placement requirements. The plan should address equipment selection, securement, permits, route constraints, weather, and communication between all parties. Sims Global Solutions supports this process with vetted carriers, specialized equipment options, and real-time shipment visibility.

Costs are influenced by equipment weight and dimensions, crane requirements, trailer type, permits, escort needs, travel distance, site complexity, labor requirements, and timing. A basic lift and move may be simpler than a multi-axle heavy haul with route surveys and final placement. Providing drawings, photos, dimensions, and site access details helps build a more accurate quote.

Many rigging projects require specialized trailers such as RGNs, lowboys, double drops, multi-axle trailers, flatbeds, or step decks. The right trailer depends on height, weight, ground clearance, loading method, and legal route restrictions. Sims Global Solutions helps match freight to appropriate equipment, including open-deck and heavy haul options for machinery and oversized industrial loads.

Yes. Oversized or overweight industrial moves often require state permits, route planning, escort vehicles, and careful coordination around road restrictions, bridges, weather, and traffic. Sims Global Solutions works with permitting and route planning teams to help ensure compliant execution, especially when rigging is paired with heavy haul transportation or specialized trailer service.

Timelines vary based on load complexity, permits, crane availability, route approval, and site readiness. Simple equipment moves may be coordinated quickly, while heavy haul or super load projects can require more planning time. The best approach is to start with accurate equipment specs, photos, origin and destination details, and required delivery or installation dates.
