Rigging & machinery moving

Industrial rigging, machinery moving and precision placement for heavy, sensitive and technically demanding equipment.

URE has moved and set industrial machinery since 1966. Its crews plan around equipment weight, access, travel path, foundations, operating conditions and final alignment. They bring the labor, lifting systems and field coordination required to complete difficult moves safely and efficiently.

Common project scopes

  • Heavy machinery moves
  • Plant relocations
  • Production equipment
  • Electrical equipment
  • Medical equipment
  • Restricted-access lifts

Machinery moving and relocation

Planning and field execution for equipment moves within a facility or between sites.

  • Heavy machinery moving
  • Plant relocations and equipment removal
  • Production-line moves and reconfiguration

Rigging and precision placement

Controlled handling from the pickup point through final setting and alignment.

  • Precision equipment placement
  • Presses, conveyors and production machinery
  • Final positioning and alignment support

Electrical and medical equipment

Rigging methods planned around sensitive, high-value and technically demanding equipment.

  • Generators, transformers and switchgear
  • MRI and X-ray equipment
  • Sensitive electrical and medical systems

Restricted-access work

Equipment movement where clearances, operating conditions or the set location limit conventional access.

  • Indoor and rooftop rigging
  • Restricted-access machinery moves
  • Lift planning around active facilities

Southern California rigging service area

Industrial rigging across the Los Angeles region and Southern California.

URE plans machinery moves, crane lifts and precision equipment placement throughout Los Angeles County, Orange County and the Inland Empire, with project coverage across Southern California. Crews review weight, access, travel paths, floor capacity and final setting requirements for each site before mobilization.

Planning and execution

The route and set point determine the rigging plan.

URE reviews the equipment, travel path, lifting points, floor and foundation capacity, overhead clearances and final position before selecting the rigging method.

Document the equipment and route

Confirm weight, dimensions, center of gravity, pickup and set points, travel surfaces, clearances and site access.

Select the method and equipment

Match cranes, forklifts, gantries, trailers and rigging systems to the load, site conditions and required sequence.

Control movement through final placement

Coordinate exclusion areas, communications, equipment movement, setting and alignment with the project and facility teams.

Project fit

Questions before work begins.

What information does URE need to plan a machinery move?

Equipment weight and dimensions, pickup and set locations, access conditions, available drawings, schedule and final placement requirements provide the starting point.

Can URE work inside active or restricted facilities?

Yes. URE plans rigging around access, operating restrictions, occupied areas, shutdown windows and the controls required by each site.

Can URE coordinate transportation and equipment installation?

Yes. Heavy hauling, offloading, rigging, foundations and equipment setting can be coordinated under one project sequence when the scope requires them.

Related capabilities

Movement, support and final placement under one plan.

URE can coordinate transportation, rigging, foundations, structural supports and equipment installation around the same move. Keeping those scopes connected helps resolve access, sequencing and field fit before crews and equipment reach the set point.
