Expert Medical and Lab Equipment Rigging Services

Rigging equipment refers to the tools, hardware, and lifting systems used to safely move, lift, secure, and position heavy or delicate items. For medical and lab equipment, rigging may involve cranes, forklifts, gantries, straps, chains, spreader bars, dollies, skates, and specialized load securement methods. Proper rigging also includes lift planning, site assessment, weight verification, and coordination with transportation teams.

Medical and lab equipment rigging is specialized because the freight is often high-value, sensitive to shock or vibration, and essential to patient care, research, or production schedules. Equipment may require crating, inside delivery, controlled handling, precise placement, debris removal, and setup coordination. Sims Global Solutions supports these moves with white glove service, high-value freight procedures, specialized trailers, and real-time shipment visibility.

Common equipment includes imaging machines, diagnostic systems, laboratory analyzers, cleanroom equipment, production machinery, medical device manufacturing equipment, and other oversized or high-value assets. Some shipments may require cranes, RGN or lowboy trailers, step decks, inside delivery, or white glove handling. The right solution depends on equipment dimensions, weight, fragility, access points, and final placement requirements.

Safety starts with a site assessment, lift plan, equipment review, and route planning. Loads are secured using proper rigging hardware, chains, binders, straps, containment procedures, and specialized trailers where needed. For high-value freight, enhanced handling, monitoring, and A+ rated supplemental cargo insurance options help reduce risk. Coordination between rigging, permitting, carrier, and customer teams keeps the move controlled.

Pricing is based on the scope of work, equipment dimensions and weight, origin and destination, rigging requirements, trailer type, access limitations, permits, escort needs, crating, inside delivery, setup, and insurance considerations. A detailed quote should account for transportation and on-site handling so there are fewer surprises. Clear shipment details help the team recommend the most cost-effective approach.

Yes. Many medical and lab equipment projects benefit from white glove services such as crating, packing, residential or inside delivery, equipment setup, debris removal, guaranteed-day delivery, expedited service, or delivery windows. These services are designed for freight that needs more than dock-to-dock transportation, especially when equipment must be placed carefully within a facility.
