Industrial Rigging Services for Heavy Equipment
Industrial rigging is required whenever equipment must be lifted, hoisted, rotated, or maneuvered where horizontal movement alone is not enough. HighMass Industrial helps customers establish the load characteristics, lifting arrangements, clearances, and site conditions that shape a safe rigging project across Toronto and Ontario.
When Rigging Is the Right Approach
Standard machinery moving deals primarily with horizontal transit along prepared floor routes. Industrial rigging comes into play when equipment must be hoisted, rotated, lifted over obstacles, extracted through vertical openings, or handled where sling configurations and load balancing are critical. Before any lift, the load's center of gravity, available headroom, attachment points, and the surrounding structure all need to be understood.
Tight-Clearance Lifts
Handling equipment where overhead bridge cranes cannot reach, or where vertical ceiling obstructions require low-headroom spreader bars and tandem picks.
Load Centre Evaluation
Establishing the center of gravity on asymmetrical industrial machinery, stamping dies, or presses to ensure balanced, stable rigging throughout the lift.
Site & Structural Coordination
Coordinating work area barricades, overhead clearance checks, and staging sequences with facility personnel to safeguard workers and equipment.
Rigging Applications
How a Rigging Project Is Planned
Load & Site Assessment
Review the equipment weight, center of gravity, lift points, headroom, and the structural conditions around the lift.
Lift Planning
Establish sling configurations, spreader bars, rigging gear, and the sequence of movements required.
Rigging Execution
Carry out the lift using gear and methods appropriate to the load and the site conditions.
Placement & Handoff
Set the equipment in position and hand off for any alignment, anchoring, or installation work.
