Why Heavy Equipment Rigging Is the Hidden Engine of Industrial Relocation

Relocating industrial machinery from one site to another isnt as simple as packing and shippingits a highly technical operation that depends on precise, well-planned rigging. The success of the entire move often hinges on this initial phase.

At Caspec Logistics, we specialize in heavy equipment rigging for full and partial relocations, helping businesses across California transition smoothly, safely, and without costly delays.

The Importance of Rigging in Relocation

Industrial machines are often enormous, fragile, and permanently anchored. Before they can be moved, they must be:

• Safely disconnected from utilities

• Unbolted and lifted from their foundations

• Stabilized for transport

• Repositioned or installed in new locations

Rigging professionals ensure that these steps are performed with the correct tools, calculations, and safety protocols.

Caspecs Relocation Rigging Process

We follow a detailed, proven method to deliver safe and successful machinery moves:

1. Site Surveys and Route Planning

We visit both the current and future locations to assess layouts, obstructions, floor strengths, and truck access. We map out the full move route to eliminate surprises.

2. Custom Lift Planning

Using load specs and machine geometry, we develop a lift plan with drawings, crane specs, sling angles, and safety margins.

3. Rigging and Equipment Coordination

We bring in cranes, forklifts, jacks, or gantries based on the complexity of the move. Our crew prepares the load using rated rigging hardware and stabilization systems.

4. Controlled Lift and Move

Our certified team lifts and transports the equipment under continuous supervision. Safety spotters guide the operation, and everything is double-checked against the plan.

5. Reinstallation and Adjustment

Once at the new site, we place and align the machinery, and if required, assist with reconnecting utilities and recalibration.
