Moving heavy machinery, structural components, or entire building sections isn’t just about force, it’s about having precise control. The difference between a smooth, predictable move and a costly mistake often comes down to the equipment used on the ground. Among the most critical tools in any rigging or relocation setup are machinery moving skates, designed to support extreme...

Some loads simply can't be craned onto a flatbed and driven away. A two-story farmhouse being relocated from a widening highway. A 60-ton power transformer that has to be walked from the substation gate to its concrete pad. A turbine housing that needs to thread between two existing buildings with inches to spare. For jobs like these, industrial machine rigging dollies are the single...

Moving a 10,000-pound CNC machine across a factory floor usually starts with a problem. The base sits flat on concrete, leaving no room for forks, skates, or any lifting equipment to get underneath. Crews reach for hydraulic toe jacks to create that first bit of clearance, lifting just enough to get the rest of the system in place. That’s why they stay within reach, even when...

House cribbing is the process of temporarily supporting or lifting a structure using an engineered system of hydraulic jacks, steel or timber lifting beams, and stacked crib blocks. It is most commonly used for foundation replacement, house relocation, and structural repairs to sill plates or floor framing. When performed correctly, house cribbing allows contractors to suspend the full weight...

We’ve seen jobs slow down because the wrong support was chosen too early. That usually shows up midway through lifting, when alignment starts drifting, or pressure feels uneven. That’s where shoring jacks step in as the backbone of the operation, keeping everything steady while the real work happens. If you’re working around structural moves, foundation repairs, or...

Imagine the moment you first see a massive structure, perhaps a family home or a historic building, lifted completely off its foundation. It is a sight that commands respect for the sheer physics involved. When you are tasked with relocating something of that magnitude, your primary concern isn't just getting from point A to point B; it is ensuring that every inch of that journey is controlled,...
