Industrial rigging company
Industrial rigging company. Every lift engineered.
Machine riggers and equipment riggers on our own payroll. Engineered rigging systems for loads over 400,000 lb. Single-lift pick-and-carry to 118,000 lb. NCCCO certified operators, EMR 0.72 and zero OSHA recordables 2022 through 2026 to date. We plan every lift before we mobilize, and the same crew sets the machine when it lands.

How we plan and make a lift.
An engineered lift is planned on measured numbers and carried out by the people who planned it.
- The numbers, verified. Weight, center of gravity, rigging points, floor loading, headroom and travel path are measured, not taken from the nameplate.
- The lift, planned. Pick points, rigging gear, load path and contingencies worked out before anything is scheduled. On complex picks the plan is documented and walked with your team before the crew mobilizes.
- The equipment, matched. Pick-and-carry machines, hydraulic gantries, jacks, skates and spreader beams, as the plan calls for, brought on our trucks and run by NCCCO certified operators.
- The lift. One signal caller, a walked route and a crew that does this work every day. The machine is set on its anchors, ready for millwright work by the same crew.
Rigging contractor and certified OEM installer.
Accuwright is a certified installer for equipment including ENGEL, LS, Woojin, Arburg, Amada, JSW, Trumpf, Okamoto, MultiCam and Stamtec, among many others. Our riggers know where these machines are lifted, what they weigh with and without fluids, and which points they must never be lifted from. Machine builders send their own installations to us.
- Engineered lifts & tandem picks
- Machine & equipment rigging
- Machinery setting on foundations
- Press & molding machine rigging
- Vessel & equipment placement
- Tight-headroom & in-plant lifts
- OEM rigging support

Rigging and installation, one crew.
We don’t stop when the load touches down. We stay until the machine is set and level.
Equipment rigging and installation is one job here, not two contracts. The riggers who plan and make the lift are millwrights too: the machine is set on its anchors, shimmed, leveled, aligned and made ready for reconnection by the same people who picked it up. That covers machine tool rigging and installation, press and molding machine rigging and installation, and heavy equipment rigging and installation on a new line. There is no handoff between a rigging crew and an installation crew.
- Rig and lift. Measured weights, a planned pick, NCCCO certified operators.
- Set. Onto the foundation or anchors, on the footprint the drawing calls for.
- Level and align. Shimmed, leveled and aligned to spec by our millwrights.
- Hand over. Ready for reconnection and startup. Never missed a startup in 25 years.
Rigging company or crane company: the difference.
A crane company supplies a crane and an operator. A rigging contractor is responsible for the whole lift and uses a crane only when the job needs one.
Crane company
- Provides the crane and operator; the lift plan, rigging and machine knowledge stay with you
- Scope ends when the load leaves the hook
- Inside a plant, under 20-foot steel, a mobile crane often cannot reach the work
Rigging contractor
- Plans the lift, supplies the gear and directs the pick, including a crane when the job calls for one
- Pick-and-carry and gantry work where cranes cannot go
- Scope ends with the machine set, leveled and ready to run
- One contract, one insurance chain, one accountable crew
We use cranes to move industry. We do not sell crane equipment. When a job needs one, we plan, size and direct it. The free Crane Size Calculator estimates the crane class from your load and radius.

Industrial rigging services, coast to coast.
Home ground is the Southern Industrial Corridor — South Carolina to Texas, from shops in Greenville, Georgia and Fort Worth, Texas. Beyond it, our crews, machines and lowboys travel from those two shops. When we quote the North, the Northeast and the West Coast, we win work against local rigging contractors. The NCCI interstate rating on our EMR is third-party proof that our crews work across state lines.
Tell us about the lift.
Weight, dimensions and access set the price. The more you can tell us here, the closer the first number will be. Same-day pricing: a number back the same day, not in three to five business days.

Industrial rigging, explained.
What is industrial rigging, exactly?
The discipline of lifting and moving loads that are too heavy, too awkward or too valuable for standard material handling: calculating weights and centers of gravity, choosing pick points and gear, planning the load path, and executing the lift with certified operators. On a plant floor, it is what gets a machine to its anchors without damage.
What does an industrial rigging company do?
It plans and makes the lifts that standard material handling cannot: machines off trucks and onto foundations, equipment into tight spaces, presses, molding machines, vessels and modules placed on measured numbers. A full-scope rigging company also sets, levels and aligns what it lifts. Ours does, with riggers and millwrights on one payroll, so one contractor owns the job from the truck to the startup.
What is the heaviest load you can rig?
Engineered rigging systems handle loads over 400,000 lb, using gantries, jacks and skates matched to the load and a lift planned on measured numbers. Single machines up to 118,000 lb move by pick-and-carry. A quote starts with the weight of your load.
What does rigging cost?
The drivers are the load’s weight and dimensions, headroom and access, how far it travels, and whether the scope includes setting, leveling and reconnection. Give us those and pricing is same-day. For a rough range with no contact details, the free Rigging Cost Estimator takes a few minutes.
Do you use cranes?
We use cranes to move industry. We do not sell crane equipment. When a job calls for one, we plan, size and direct it as part of our rigging work. The free Crane Size Calculator estimates the crane class from your load and radius.
Can you lift where a crane can’t reach — inside a plant, under low steel?
Yes. Pick-and-carry machines, hydraulic gantries, jacks and skates work indoors, under existing steel, in aisles a mobile crane cannot reach. Tight-headroom and in-plant lifts are a large part of our work.
Who is on the crew?
Riggers and millwrights on Accuwright’s own payroll: NCCCO certified operators, a drug-free workplace, and crews that self-perform the core work. The people who plan the lift are the people who make it.
Do you do rigging and installation, or just the lift?
Both. Our riggers are also millwrights, so setting, anchoring, leveling, alignment and reconnection happen under the same contract, with no handoff between the lift and the startup. Never missed a startup in 25 years.
Are you insured and prequalified for plant work?
EMR 0.72 on the NCCI interstate rating with zero actual incurred losses, zero OSHA recordables in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 to date, Avetta and ISNetworld registered, NCCCO and NCCER certified, drug-free workplace. Certificates of insurance and full documentation are available on request.
