Machinery Storage

When you need a machinery storage company to keep your equipment out of the elements and in a secure location, call a local machinery moving company. It is typical for these companies to provide warehousing for customers. Often times you can stage equipment at a machinery movers facility. This can ease the process a bit by taking the trucking delivery delays out of the picture.

Interested in a career in rigging?

Make no mistake, rigging can be a tough and dangerous career. So if this is what you are interested in, education is key. As a beginner you can learn on the job, but if you want to be good (translation mo $$$) you will want to take classes or purchase study guides to improve your skills. Making mistakes is a sure fire way to learn, but that is definitely not a good plan for rigging.

Here is a safety video about rigging.

Big injection mold machine.

Here's a nice video showing a Van Dorn 1000 being loaded onto a truck. This job required bringing in some heavy lifting muscle to move and lift the 125,000 lb. injection mold machine. To transport the machine a 75 ton lowboy trailer was used, which meant getting oversize load permits, vehicle escort and a police escort.
