How riggers plan a move
Riggers combine cranes, forklifts, gantries, jacks, and skates to move a load safely along a path. They’ll want the equipment’s weight and dimensions, lifting points, the route (door sizes, floor capacity, ramps, turns), and the destination. Disconnecting and reconnecting power, air, and plumbing is usually done by licensed trades, coordinated with the move.
Questions to ask providers
- Do you handle disconnect/reconnect, or should we schedule our own electricians and plumbers?
- Do you provide transport between sites, and is the load insured in transit?
- Will you visit the site before quoting?
How it works
- Tell us about the lift using the quote form: the load, the reach, the site, and your date.
- We line up the right crew from the vetted, licensed and insured local crane companies we work with — one that handles that type and size of lift in your area.
- You get taken care of The crane company reaches out promptly, usually the same business day, to confirm details, schedule, and quote. You work directly with them, and there’s no fee to you.
