When Heavy Rigging Support Is Needed
Heavy rigging is typically required when equipment weight, access constraints, or operational risk make standard handling impractical or unsafe.
Heavy Component Removal or Installation
Pumps, motors, gate actuators, valves, or hydraulic assemblies exceeding manual handling limits
Limited Access or Confined Spaces
Tank tops, elevated platforms, underground vaults, or equipment rooms with restricted entry
Precision Alignment Requirements
Equipment that must be positioned within tight tolerances or specific orientations
High-Risk Operational Environments
Active facilities where dropped loads, equipment damage, or personnel risk must be minimized
Tight Project Timelines
Shutdown windows, inspection deadlines, or time-sensitive repairs requiring coordinated lifts
Multi-Trade Coordination
Projects where rigging must integrate with mechanical, piping, or electrical work
If the lift requires planning, load calculations, or site-specific coordination, AIM can provide the rigging support needed.

What Heavy Rigging Services Include
AIM's rigging services are tailored to project scope, site conditions, and equipment specifications.
Pre-Lift Planning & Load Calculations
Review of equipment weight, center of gravity, rigging points, and lift path to ensure safe execution.
Service Truck Crane Support
Mobile crane services for controlled lifts, positioning, and component handling on site.
Rigging Hardware & Sling Selection
Proper selection and inspection of slings, shackles, and rigging hardware for load requirements.
Equipment Positioning & Alignment
Controlled placement of equipment to precise locations with alignment verification.
Component Removal & Staging
Safe extraction and controlled lowering of components with proper staging for transport or disposal.
Multi-Trade Coordination
Integration with mechanical, piping, electrical, and other trades for seamless project execution.
Safety Briefings & Site Coordination
Pre-lift safety meetings, site-specific protocols, and coordination with facility personnel.
Lift Documentation & Verification
Photo documentation, lift logs, and verification records for compliance and project closeout.
All rigging work is coordinated with facility staff and follows site-specific lift plans and safety protocols.
How AIM Approaches Rigging Projects
Heavy rigging requires planning, coordination, and disciplined execution to ensure safe, controlled lifts.
Lift Planning
Review equipment specs, site conditions, access constraints, and develop lift plan with load calculations.
Site Coordination
Coordinate with facility staff, other trades, and conduct pre-lift safety briefings with all personnel.
Controlled Execution
Execute lift with constant communication, load monitoring, and adherence to safety protocols throughout.
Verification & Documentation
Confirm placement, secure equipment, document lift completion, and provide records for project files.
This approach ensures controlled lifts with minimal risk and maximum coordination.
Every rigging project follows the same disciplined process regardless of equipment size or complexity.
Safety, Compliance, and Reliability
All rigging services are performed under strict safety standards with comprehensive documentation.
LOTO & PPE
Full lockout/tagout compliance and proper personal protective equipment on every lift.
Site-Specific Lift Coordination
Alignment with facility protocols and coordination with site personnel for safe operations.
Incident-Free Since 2015
Zero incidents maintained through rigorous safety practices and crew training.
Fully Insured
Comprehensive insurance coverage with COI available upon request for all rigging work.
Every lift is treated as a critical operation requiring full planning and safety protocols.
We don't compromise on safety, documentation, or coordination - regardless of lift complexity.
