Heavy Lifting Services
Careful, planned lifting for heavy, awkward, and high-value loads where control and rigging make the difference.
Heavy lifting is about more than capacity — it is about control. The right rigging, positioning, and sequence keep a heavy or oddly balanced load stable from pick to set.
Elevate plans heavy lifts around the load's weight and center of gravity, the reach required, and the conditions on site, so the pick is predictable and safe.
- Industrial machinery and process equipment
- Structural steel and large weldments
- Precast concrete elements
- Transformers, generators, and tanks
- Large mechanical and rooftop units
- Recovered equipment and storm debris
- The load exceeds forklift or telehandler capacity
- Balance or center of gravity is a concern
- Reach or height puts the pick out of easy range
- The item is fragile, costly, or hard to replace
- Rigging needs to be engineered for the load
- An emergency requires moving something heavy safely
The working capacity of any crane drops as the load moves away from the machine. That is why weight plus radius — not weight alone — determines whether a lift is within range. Our primary machine is the Manitex 50128 SHL.
Share the weight, dimensions, and where the load sits relative to the set-up area and we will confirm feasibility.

Lift Planning
We plan rigging, positioning, and sequence with safety first.

Execution & Closeout
We complete the lift, confirm the result, and leave the site clear.
How heavy a load can you lift?
It depends on the radius. Our primary crane is a 50-ton class machine, and the safe working load decreases as the load gets farther from the crane. Give us the weight and where it sits and we will confirm.
What if I do not know the exact weight?
Give us your best estimate plus dimensions and material, and any nameplate data or spec sheets. We would rather plan conservatively than be surprised on site.
Do you engineer rigging for heavy picks?
We plan rigging appropriate to the load and can arrange engineered rigging when a pick calls for it. Describe the load and we will scope it.
