Industrial Rigging and Crane Services in Saltillo
We move, set, and position heavy electrical equipment with careful planning and safe execution, as part of substation, transformer, and generator projects.
Moving heavy electrical equipment leaves no room for improvisation
A mishandled transformer, switchboard, or generator can be damaged before it ever goes into service, or put your people at risk.
We plan every lift around weight, access, and site conditions, so the equipment arrives in place ready to be connected.
Rigging as part of your electrical project
Unlike a generic crane service, our team knows the equipment it moves: we disconnect it, transport it, set it, and connect it within the same project, with a single point of responsibility.
Included services
- Loading, unloading, and transport of heavy electrical equipment
- Setting and positioning of transformers and switchboards
- Removal and installation of substation equipment
- Relocation of generators and backup equipment
- Lift planning and site survey
- Coordination with electrical disconnection and reconnection
Planned lifts, not improvised ones
| Service | Technical Objective | Operational Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Lift planning | Define the route, lifting points, and site conditions. | Prevents delays and damage during the move. |
| Equipment setting | Place the equipment level and in its final position. | Leaves the equipment ready for connection and testing. |
| Equipment removal | Safely remove damaged or decommissioned equipment. | Frees up space and reduces risk at the facility. |

We define the route, lifting points, crew, and safety measures.
Safe execution
We perform the move with trained personnel in a controlled area.
Connection and handover
We leave the equipment in position and coordinate the electrical connection.
Industrial rigging across Saltillo and the Coahuila industrial region
Our crane truck and rigging crew move transformers, switchboards, generators, and other heavy electrical equipment at plants and substations. Every lift starts with a site survey and a written plan, and the electrical crew is on site to disconnect and reconnect the equipment.
- Coverage
- Saltillo, Ramos Arizpe, and industrial parks across Coahuila. Other regions on request.
- Response
- Scheduled work is planned with your team. Failures that stop production get 24/7 emergency response.
- Deliverable
- A lift plan agreed with your team and the equipment set in its final position, ready for connection.
When you need industrial rigging
Plan industrial rigging with an electrical crew when your project includes:
- Replacing or adding a transformer
- Relocating switchboards, panels, or breakers
- Installing or moving a generator
- Removing damaged or obsolete equipment
- Setting equipment inside a substation or tight room
- Loading, unloading, or transporting heavy electrical equipment
Industrial rigging FAQ
What equipment can you move?
Our industrial rigging service handles transformers, switchboards, circuit breakers, generators, motors, pumps, and other heavy electrical equipment, from loading and transport to setting the unit in its final position.
Why use an electrical contractor for rigging?
Because the move is only part of the job. Our crew disconnects the equipment, plans the lift, sets it, and reconnects and tests it within the same project, with a single point of responsibility.
How do you plan a lift?
We review the weight and dimensions of the equipment, access routes, floor and ground conditions, lifting points, and overhead obstacles. The result is a lift plan with the crew, equipment, and safety measures for the day of the move.
Can you work inside substations or energized areas?
Yes, with the right precautions. We coordinate outages and safety distances with your team, and lifts near energized equipment are planned together with the switching and lockout procedures.
Do you remove old or damaged equipment?
Yes. We safely remove damaged or decommissioned equipment, free up the space, and coordinate the handling of oil-filled units according to your site requirements.
Which safety standards apply to lifting and rigging in Mexico?
NOM-006-STPS-2014 sets safety conditions for handling materials, including cranes and lifting equipment, and NOM-029-STPS-2011 covers maintenance work on electrical installations. We plan each lift in accordance with the applicable NOM.
How far in advance should we book industrial rigging?
As soon as the equipment delivery or outage date is known. Early planning lets us survey the site, confirm the crane and crew, and align the lift with the electrical work and your production schedule.
