Relocating production assets isn’t just “pick and place.” It’s engineering, safety, and timing. When you trust Industrial Services of America, LLC, you get a disciplined plan, credentialed riggers, and purpose‑built equipment working in sync to prevent damage and downtime. We make complex moves simple—and safe.
Safe Machinery Moves: What It Means and Why It Matters
Safe Machinery Moves means every lift, turn, and set‑down is calculated. We evaluate load weights, centers of gravity, floor ratings, pinch points, and travel paths before any equipment leaves the floor. That planning protects people, product, and production schedules. It also keeps insurance exposure and compliance risks in check.
Our Rigging Expertise—Built for Industrial Reality
We bring the experience and tools factories actually need—especially in tight aisles, active lines, and “can’t stop” environments.
Credentials & Capabilities
- Certified riggers and signal persons
- Detailed lift plans and load calculations
- In‑plant relocations, line reconfigurations, and full facility moves
- Cranes, forklifts, Versa‑Lifts, toe jacks, skates, and low‑profile gantries
Industries We Serve
Manufacturing, food & beverage, distribution, packaging, printing, plastics, and more. Each site gets a tailored method statement that fits your safety culture and schedule.
How We Plan and Execute a Move
Pre‑Move Planning
We walk the site, verify measurements, confirm utilities, and map travel routes. We also check floor loads and overhead obstructions and coordinate with your EHS lead.
Readiness Checklist
- Utilities locked out/tagged out
- Fluids drained where required
- Guards secured and loose parts removed
- Pathway cleared and floor condition verified
Execution Day
Crews review lift plans and hand signals, stage gear, and run a test lift. Spotters manage line of travel and clearances. Machinery is secured during transport and set with precision leveling.
Post‑Move Closeout
Final placement, anchor points, and torque checks are verified. We coordinate with your technicians for power‑up and alignment so production resumes fast.
Risk, Compliance, and Cost Control
Poor rigging risks injuries, damaged assets, and line stoppage. Our approach reduces that risk profile while helping you meet OSHA expectations for safe lifting and material handling (see OSHA’s guidance on cranes, derricks, and rigging). For reference, review OSHA’s crane/derrick safety resources here.
Equipment That Protects Your Investment
The success of safe machinery moves depends not only on the skill of the rigging team but also on using the right equipment for each unique challenge. At Industrial Services of America, LLC, we match the tool to the task—ensuring maximum safety, efficiency, and precision without overcomplicating the job or risking unnecessary wear on your assets. Our approach focuses on control and accuracy, not just brute strength.
We deploy the right tool for the risk—not the biggest tool on the yard. That means:
- Versa-Lifts & heavy forklifts for narrow aisles with high capacities
- Gantry systems for precise vertical lifts in low-clearance areas
- Toe jacks and machinery skates for controlled, non-marring moves
- Spreader bars, chain slings, and soft slings matched to load geometry
- Crating, cribbing, and rigging hardware sized to the job—never guessed
Project Outcomes You Can Measure
Every client wants proof that their investment in professional rigging pays off—and we deliver results you can see on the balance sheet and the production floor. By combining experienced crews, tailored move plans, and purpose-built equipment, we help you avoid costly setbacks while keeping your operations on schedule. The benefits aren’t just theoretical—they’re measurable.
- Less downtime: planned moves slot into maintenance windows
- Zero-damage handling: balanced lifts and secure transport
- Fewer surprises: scope, schedule, and safety are defined up front
- Cleaner handoff: machines arrive ready for alignment and start-up
