Introduction

Service rigging is a critical component of industrial and construction projects, ensuring the safe and efficient movement of heavy, oversized, or delicate equipment. In Virginia—home to bustling ports, expanding infrastructure, and large-scale industrial developments—professional rigging services are essential for project success.

With certified riggers, state-of-the-art equipment, and a commitment to safety, we help businesses across the Commonwealth execute complex lifts with precision.

What Is Service Rigging?

Service rigging involves the careful planning, equipment selection, and execution of lifting and moving heavy loads. Unlike standard crane operations, rigging requires specialized knowledge of weight distribution, load securement, and OSHA compliance.

Key Rigging Equipment Includes:

  • Slings (wire rope, synthetic, chain) – For securing loads
  • Hoists & Winches – For controlled lifting
  • Spreader Bars – To distribute weight evenly
  • Shackles & Hooks – For attachment points

Common Applications of Service Rigging:

  • HVAC system installations (rooftop units, chillers)
  • Transformer & generator relocation
  • Industrial machinery setup
  • Maritime & shipyard operations

Why Service Rigging Is Critical in Virginia

1. Complex Infrastructure & Tight Work Zones

Urban construction sites and busy ports require precision rigging to avoid disruptions.

2. Strict Safety & Compliance Standards
