What Does a Rigging Company Do?

A professional rigging company executes the safe, engineered lifting and movement of oversized or complex loads exceeding standard material handling capabilities. Operating under strict OSHA 1926.1400 and ASME B30 standards, these specialized contractors provide turnkey hoisting solutions. Their responsibilities begin with comprehensive load assessments and developing critical lift plans that factor in center of gravity, wind shear, and dynamic loading.

Rigging contractors deploy certified personnel—including signal persons and master riggers—alongside specialized equipment like hydraulic gantries, spreader bars, and mobile cranes. They service demanding sectors such as manufacturing, energy, and data centers, handling everything from single-piece machinery moving to full-scale plant relocations. By calculating precise tension limits and utilizing certified wire rope, slings, and shackles, a rigging company ensures multi-ton assets are secured, lifted, and positioned without incident.
