Rigging

Rigged, lifted and set down level

  • Chains, slings and a spreader barAll on board, nothing to hire.
  • Strapped down for the roadWith Sam’s own gear.
  • Set down where it’s goingAt the door, on the pad or in the yard.

Example job: a refrigerated truck body, craned on at Pukekohe and off at Clevedon.

Can you move a 3-tonne lathe?

Yes. A 3-tonne machine lifts within 3 metres of the crane, so the truck sets up close to it.

Can you collect a machine I’ve bought?

Yes. Sam collects from the seller, the auction yard or the old workshop and delivers it to yours.

Do you supply the lifting gear?

Yes: chains, slings, a spreader bar and straps.

Do you move truck bodies?

Yes. A refrigerated truck body was craned on at Pukekohe and off at Clevedon.
