Rigging Services,

Rigging Services,
That Keeps the Load Stable

Rigging is what controls the load and protects what you are lifting. Baxter helps plan how the load will be attached and moved based on its weight, shape, and placement, then coordinates with your crew so everyone is aligned before the pick starts. The result is a smoother lift, less risk to people and property, and fewer surprises on site.

Rigging Services

Baxter’s rigging support helps keep the entire job coordinated, not just the pick. When a project includes crane service, forklift support, and storage or transportation, we work with your team to keep the lift sequence, staging, and timing aligned so crews are ready when equipment arrives. The result is smoother handoffs, less downtime, and fewer surprises from delivery through final placement.

Service Area

Baxter serves Massachusetts and Rhode Island, with regular coverage in Boston, Worcester, Providence, Newport, and Provincetown. Whether the job is urban, coastal, or industrial, our team can mobilize and support lifts that need dependable equipment and experienced crews.

Process

How Baxter Crane Executes
Our Rigging Services

For Rigging services we align early with your team to confirm scope, access, pick locations, and sequencing, then coordinate rigging needs and day of communication so the lift integrates cleanly with the rest of the jobsite plan.

1

Confirm load and placement details

We confirm load weight, dimensions, lift points, required orientation, and where the load needs to be set so the rigging approach is clear.

2

Build the rigging and sequence plan

We align rigging needs with the crane plan, lift path, and set location so the load stays stable and protected during the pick.

3

Coordinate on site execution

We coordinate with your team before the lift begins so roles, signals, and the sequence are clear and the pick stays controlled.

4

Close out and support next steps

We confirm the lift is complete and help coordinate adjustments for future picks if the job continues in phases.

Before We Mobilize

Rigging Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our crane services

Do you provide rigging equipment and riggers?

Yes. Baxter can provide rigging equipment and experienced rigging support to match the load and the lift plan. If your crew is supplying rigging, we can coordinate ahead of time to confirm it is appropriate for the pick.

What do you need from us to plan the rigging?

At minimum, the load weight, dimensions, lift points, and where it needs to be set. Photos, drawings, or a quick walkthrough video help us plan faster and reduce day of lift changes.

Can you support jobs that include delivery, staging, and multiple picks?

Yes. Baxter can coordinate rigging support with crane service, transportation, and staging so handoffs stay organized. This is especially helpful when lifts are phased or when materials need to be set as they arrive.

What if the load is irregular or needs special handling?

That is common. Share any details about balance, fragile areas, no lift zones, or required orientation and we will plan the safest approach to keep the load stable and protected during the pick.

How do you handle tight access, overhead obstructions, or limited setup space?

We plan around constraints before mobilizing by reviewing access, clearances, and overhead obstacles. This helps confirm the safest lift path and prevents delays caused by last minute repositioning or equipment changes.
