Types of rigging services

Chicago riggers and rigging services

We do not simply bring our equipment and let it do the job. We are not an equipment rental shop. We are Chicago riggers and specialize in rigging — solving the problems our customers have. For example, we once had a job to raise the gantry of a large wood router by 2 inches. The gantry could not be easily approached by a forklift because of its placement. Other movers offered to bring huge boom lifts to reach the gantry, with prices to match the size of the proposed equipment. Instead, we proposed to bring a jacking system that we built ourselves a while ago, and raised the gantry in under two hours. We got paid well and the customer was happy, because we did it right away, safely, and in a very straightforward way.

Why hire riggers

We Solve Problems, Not Just Lift Things

We do not simply bring equipment and let it do the job. We are riggers — we solve the problem in front of us: tight doorways, basements, mezzanines, and machines up to 11.5 feet tall. One example is the wood-router gantry story told above — a lift no forklift could reach.
