Rigging and machinery moving in Bakersfield and Kern County
Riggers, rollers and gantries to move or set equipment where a crane alone will not do it.
Bakersfield Crane Rental is a free referral service. Tell us about the job and we pass it to independent local crane companies who quote you directly.
Many lifts need more than a crane: equipment has to be skidded into a building, set on anchor bolts, moved across a plant floor or loaded onto a trailer. Rigging contractors bring the crew and tools for that: gantries, hydraulic jacks, rollers and forklifts, plus the know-how to rig odd-shaped loads safely.
Typical jobs
- Food processing and packing line installs and moves
- Generators, transformers and switchgear
- Pumps, compressors and skids in oilfield and plant settings
- Machine shop equipment: lathes, mills, presses
Rigging crews are usually billed per person per hour, plus equipment. For a firm price, providers will often want a site walk.
