Crane and rigging. When you see these two words you will probably think they relate to very complicated and hard jobs to be done, right? But it doesn’t have to be like this.

If you count on the right team of experts, you will receive the advisory and needed help to go through basic -and not so basic- concepts to make your project a reality. That is why at AME we care about giving accurate information, in a simple way to make sure every customer understands exactly what the job is about.

Crane and rigging: going into concepts

When we talk about crane rigging, we refer to the needed process to go through to prepare the crane equipment for a lift; and then execute that lift according to the settled plan.

Furthermore, rigging is understood as the act of moving, putting down, or securing a load, by using appropriate mechanical shifting equipment. When moving a load is needed, riggers use special equipment like cranes and other machinery that we have available at AME.

So, if you are planning a construction project and you are looking for crane rigging services, you came to the right place. With AME´s team you will find what you are searching for, all in the same place.

A rigger´s job

Riggers are in charge of moving heavy materials and equipment from one place to another so they are asked to use rigging gear such as pulleys, cranes, or winches, from time to time.

At AME we can rely on a deeply experienced team of riggers who can also assemble temporary structures on construction projects when it’s needed, and in cases of a building under construction, they can also assemble precast structures such as panels, or facades.

And what about cranes?

Well, cranes work by using pulley systems with the objective of changing the direction of the force necessary to lift a load and also to help better distribute that force over a greater distance so it becomes a very important activity in big construction projects.

Only highly qualified people can operate this type of machinery to do it in a safe and secure way. At AME we take care of all people involved, so we care about the safety of our staff, clients, and co-workers and the correct use of resources such as Budget, and equipment, among others.

The crane rigger is the person responsible for lifting and moving heavy and large load objects by using a crane, so only a skilled professional who is also certified can operate in a safe way this type of specialized and heavy equipment.  

Our team of experts has been trained and is capable of following specific standards to ensure not only the crane job but those nearby are completely safe.
