Crane Fleet From 40 To 110 Tons
Rigging Service
Set Right The First Time.
Rigging is the part of the lift that decides whether the pick goes up level and lands where the drawing says. Our crew brings the slings, spreader bars, and tag lines, and the judgment to use them, on our crane or yours.
Rigging crew with any operated crane job.
Standalone rigging when you have the crane and need the hands.
Load weights and pick points confirmed before the hook drops.
The Right Hitch,
Every Pick.
A good rigging crew keeps the crane moving. We pre-rig the next piece while the last one lands, choose the hitch for the load and the pick points, and keep tag lines on anything that wants to spin. Your ironworkers and setters stay on the connections.
Synthetic and wire rope slings, shackles, spreader bars and lifting beams, tag lines, and softeners for finished surfaces. Specialty below-the-hook gear is sourced for the job and itemized on the quote.
All of Iowa from one yard at 1520 Hwy 22 in Wellman, with no radius cap. We also cross the river regularly for jobs in western Illinois and northeast Missouri. Multi-day sets anywhere in that range are scheduled as one booking.
Four cranes: a National NBT40-1 boom truck, a 60 ton Link-Belt, a Link-Belt HTC-8690 truck crane with 140 feet of main boom, and a Kobelco CK1100G crawler that reaches 250 feet with jib. Each one is inspected on a schedule and has its load chart in the cab.
Planned On Paper, Proved On The Ground
Rigging starts before anyone touches a sling.
Send The Load List
Piece weights, dimensions, and pick points if you have them. We build the rigging plan from that list.
We Match The Gear
Hitch type, sling angles, and spreader bars are chosen for each piece so nothing is loaded past its rating.
We Rig And Signal
Our crew rigs, checks the connection, and signals the operator. Tag lines stay on until the load is landed and secured.
We Break Down And Reset
Gear comes off, the next piece is rigged, and the crane never waits on the ground.
Confirm The Lift Details
Most rigging problems are found on the load list, not on the hook. These four items are what we confirm first.
Weight and center of gravity of each piece.
Pick points, lifting lugs, or where a sling can safely bear.
Surface finish and whether the load needs softeners.
Landing sequence and where each piece is staged.
Rigging Questions
Straight answers about hiring a rigging crew.
No. Rigging runs with every operated crane job, and it also stands on its own when you have the crane and need the crew.
We do. Slings, shackles, spreader bars, and tag lines come with the crew. Specialty gear for an unusual pick is sourced and itemized on the quote.
Yes. Our crew rigs, checks, and signals on any crane, and coordinates the pick sequence with your operator before the first lift.
We choke or basket the load on points that can bear it, add softeners where the surface needs them, and use spreader bars to keep sling angles safe.
Anywhere we send a crane: all of Iowa, western Illinois, and northeast Missouri, dispatched from Wellman.
Same as a crane: a week or more is typical. If the crew rides with our crane it is booked with the crane. Standalone rigging can often be fit in sooner.
