Rigging Construction

Rigging is one of the most vital parts of a successful construction project. Having an experienced rigger on your team to manage the transport of large equipment and materials can go a long way in completing a job successfully. Most importantly, a knowledgeable rigger ensures the safety of everyone at the worksite.

At Riggers, Inc., we specialize in offering quick-turnaround services in a variety of rigging applications. We can provide all the rigging solutions you need, from heavy equipment transport and crane equipment rentals to heavy machinery storage. Our decades of experience have made us the premier rigging company in the mid-Atlantic region.

What Is Rigging in Construction?

Rigging in construction involves the methods used to move and lift heavy objects, equipment and materials safely around a worksite. Some items requiring rigging for transport include heavy tools, structural beams and large slabs. A rigger is responsible for calculating the suspension, selecting the proper equipment, securing the load and executing the movement. 

Construction rigging goes far beyond the activity on the job site. Sometimes the most critical part of the project is transporting the tools you need to complete the job. Construction companies often need machinery and materials from faraway locations, requiring a rigger to secure and transport the load to the site. 

Why Professional Riggers Are Essential

Safety is the highest priority of any rigging application. A professional rigger ensures each lift and movement uses the proper procedure to ensure safety. A rigger is familiar with all the types of equipment and understands the significance of weight, suspension and balance.

Some of the other duties of a professional rigger include:

• Selecting the proper rigging equipment.
• Communicating with the construction team.
• Inspecting and maintaining equipment and tools.
• Preparing loads for transport.
• Operating heavy equipment and machinery.
• Ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations.
