Heavy Lifting & Rigging
Heavy lifting and rigging — the equipment, engineering and trained crews to lift and position loads safely.
When a load is too heavy, too awkward or too valuable to move by ordinary means, it needs rigging — the engineering discipline of lifting and positioning heavy objects safely. Seemleius heavy lifting and rigging provides that: the right equipment, the planning, and crews trained to move loads that ordinary handling cannot touch, whether as a standalone service or as part of a larger relocation.
It supports our machinery moving work and our project cargo projects.
What is included
Lift planning
Lifting points, weights and clearances assessed and planned before any load is moved.
The right equipment
Skates, jacks, gantries and lifting gear matched to the load — not improvised.
Trained crews
Crews who rig and lift for a living and understand load behaviour and safety.
Safe positioning
Loads placed precisely where they need to be, with the people around them kept safe.
How it works
- Assess the load. We survey the weight, dimensions, lifting points and the space it has to move through.
- Plan the lift. A lift plan sets out the equipment, the method and the sequence.
- Execute safely. The crew rigs, lifts and moves the load with the right gear and clear control.
- Position and secure. The load is placed precisely and secured, ready for the next step.
Why use Seemleius for rigging
Rigging is one of those disciplines where the gap between “done properly” and “done casually” is the gap between a routine job and a serious incident. We plan every lift, use equipment matched to the load, and put trained crews on it. The result is heavy loads moved safely, precisely and without drama.
Every lift is planned from a survey. Tell us about the load and we will plan the rigging.
