Rigging Services
Precision lifts and safe equipment extraction for facilities of every size — coordinated end-to-end by an experienced team.
Our rigging services are built around precision, safety, and efficiency. Whether you need a single machine relocated across a facility or a complete plant-wide equipment extraction, Surplus Asset Auctions coordinates experienced rigging crews with the specialized equipment to get the job done right.
Industrial rigging involves far more than attaching a strap and lifting. It requires detailed pre-planning, weight analysis, overhead clearance assessment, and a thorough understanding of how each piece of equipment is engineered. Our team evaluates every project individually to determine the correct lift plan, rigging hardware, and sequencing before a single piece of equipment moves.
Equipment We Rig & Extract
From precision machining centers to heavy presses, our crews are trained and equipped for all industrial asset types.
CNC & Machining Centers
Precision extraction of horizontal and vertical machining centers, lathes, grinders, and EDM equipment.
Presses & Forming Equipment
Safe rigging and removal of stamping presses, hydraulic presses, and metal forming lines.
Generators & Compressors
Extraction of large industrial generators, air compressors, and utility infrastructure equipment.
Overhead Cranes & Hoists
Dismantling and removal of bridge cranes, jib cranes, and overhead lifting systems.
Injection Molding Machines
Careful rigging and removal of large-tonnage injection molding and thermoforming equipment.
Production Lines
Complete extraction and sequencing of automated production and assembly lines from active facilities.
How We Work
Site Assessment
We visit the facility to assess access limitations, overhead clearance, floor load capacity, and project timeline before any work begins.
Lift Planning
Each piece of equipment receives a documented lift plan covering weight, center of gravity, rigging hardware selection, and extraction sequence.
Safe Extraction
Our crews execute the lift plan with precision, maintaining strict safety protocols and minimizing disruption to any ongoing operations.
Load & Handoff
Equipment is secured and handed off to transport — or directly to our auction and resale team if asset disposition is part of the project.
Safety is the foundation of every rigging job we perform. Our team follows strict protocols for personnel protection, load securement, and site integrity. We work closely with plant managers and facility teams to minimize disruption to active operations and ensure all rigging activities comply with applicable safety standards and regulations.
Surplus Asset Auctions serves manufacturers, industrial facilities, warehouses, food processing plants, energy operations, and construction firms across North America. Our rigging capabilities are available as a standalone service or as part of a broader facility decommissioning or asset disposition project.
When rigging is paired with our auction and resale services, clients benefit from a single coordinated team managing extraction, logistics, and recovery — eliminating the complexity of working with multiple vendors.
