"Rigging" is the part of equipment relocation most people never think about — until a 10-ton magnet has to leave a room that wasn't designed to let it out.
What rigging actually covers
- Cranes, gantries, skates, and jacks to move multi-ton assets safely.
- Protecting delicate systems from shock, tilt, and damage in transit.
- Navigating tight halls, doorways, elevators, and floor-load limits.
- Coordinating with any wall or ceiling removal needed to create a path.
Why imaging equipment is a special case
Most heavy machinery is just heavy. Imaging systems combine extreme weight with sensitivity — and for MRI, cryogen and a live magnetic field. That combination demands certified riggers and the right gear, not a general moving crew.
Insurance and accountability
A dropped or damaged system is a catastrophic loss, so insured, accountable crews aren't a luxury — they're the baseline. Always confirm coverage before anyone touches the machine.
Part of every de-install we run
Rigging is a core step of every de-installation we perform, planned around your building and schedule.
