Industrial Rigging in Detroit: what to expect
Industrial rigging in Detroit moves heavy machinery safely into, out of and around plants, warehouses and job sites. Millwright riggers lift and move presses, machine tools, transformers, skids, tanks and production equipment using gantries, hydraulic jacks, machinery skates, forklifts, overhead cranes and mobile cranes.
Every lift starts with the load: its weight, center of gravity and pick points. A competent rigging contractor plans the path, checks floor loading and overhead clearance, selects slings and hardware rated for the load, inspects them before use, and uses a qualified signal person for crane picks. Tight plants in Detroit, Dearborn and Warren often need jacking and skidding rather than a crane.
Rigging is usually part of machinery relocation or machinery installation. Large mobile cranes may involve equipment operators. Compare all Detroit millwright contractors.

Safety rules and licensing in Michigan
MIOSHA General Industry Part 49, Slings and Part 18, Overhead and Gantry Cranes cover sling use and plant cranes. On construction sites, MIOSHA Construction Part 10, Cranes and Derricks requires crane operators to be trained, certified or licensed, and evaluated before operating. Mobile crane setups on public streets may also need local right-of-way approval.
Ask the contractor for crane operator credentials, the lift plan and insurance. Electrical disconnects and reconnects go to a licensed electrical contractor under a permit.
