Along with heavy lift services, our Fontana-based crews have the ability and expertise to move and transport your equipment anywhere it needs to go. We have skilled engineers and operations crews ready to create and execute plans that use our broad inventory of equipment—providing end-to-end solutions for our Fontana customers.

Our crews are trained in the safe and effective operation of heavy lift tools and equipment to handle any situation, making us a reliable rigging company for projects of any size or scale.

Machinery Setting

Walker Brothers carefully aligns, levels, and secures machinery according to manufacturer specifications and project requirements, helping make sure your equipment’s performance is reliable from the moment it is commissioned.

Heavy Equipment Relocation

Our team manages every stage of the move, including disconnecting and preparing equipment for transport, rigging, hauling, reinstallation, and final positioning. We develop customized relocation plans that prioritize safety, efficiency, and minimal downtime for your Fontana facility.

Press Installation

Walker Brothers unloads, positions, levels, and installs stamping, hydraulic, mechanical, and other heavy presses while coordinating with your project team to keep installation schedules on track. Our experienced crews ensure every press is placed accurately and ready for commissioning.

Generator Placement

Our heavy rigging specialists lift and place generators in confined spaces, rooftops, mechanical yards, and industrial facilities using the appropriate lifting equipment for the job. We help ensure your critical power systems are installed accurately and securely.

CNC Machine Rigging

CNC machines represent a significant investment and require careful handling throughout every phase of installation or relocation. Our crews use specialized rigging techniques to transport, position, and set CNC equipment while protecting sensitive components and maintaining manufacturer tolerances. We help manufacturers throughout Fontana get new equipment operational with confidence.

Production Line Rigging

Walker Brothers manages the rigging, sequencing, and placement of conveyors, machinery, and production systems to support facility upgrades, expansions, and new manufacturing operations. Our experienced crews work to keep projects organized while minimizing operational disruptions.

Transformer Placement

Our rigging professionals transport and position transformers for manufacturing facilities, utility infrastructure, and industrial plants while following secure procedures. We ensure each transformer is accurately placed to support long-term reliability.

Industrial Equipment Removal

Walker Brothers disconnects, dismantles, rigs, and removes heavy equipment while protecting surrounding infrastructure and maintaining a safe work environment. We provide removal services that prepare your site for its next phase.

Our Heavy Lift and Rigging Process

Every heavy rigging project begins with a thorough plan. From the initial site assessment through final equipment placement, Walker Brothers follows a proven process that prioritizes consistency and precision. Our experienced engineers and field crews coordinate every detail to minimize risk, reduce downtime, and ensure your equipment arrives exactly where it needs to be.

Site Evaluation

Our team evaluates access points, floor capacities, overhead clearances, equipment dimensions, weight distribution, and any potential obstacles that could affect the lift. This detailed assessment allows us to identify challenges early and develop the best approach for your project.

Lift Planning

No two lifts are exactly alike. Our engineers and project managers develop customized lift plans that account for equipment specifications, rigging methods, load paths, transportation requirements, and job site conditions. By carefully coordinating each phase of the project before work begins, we help prevent delays and keep your project moving forward.

Equipment Preparation

Before any lift takes place, our crews prepare the equipment and work area for precise execution. This may include disconnecting machinery, securing moving components, staging rigging equipment, verifying lifting points, and coordinating with other contractors on site. Thorough preparation helps ensure the lift proceeds effectively while protecting both personnel and valuable assets.

Rigging and Moving

With the plan in place, our experienced crews execute the lift using specialized rigging equipment and proven handling techniques. Whether you’re moving equipment within a facility, loading it for transport, or performing a complex heavy lift, every movement is carefully controlled and monitored. Our focus remains on safety, precision, and minimizing disruption to your operations throughout the process.

Final Placement

The final stage involves accurately positioning equipment according to project specifications. Our team carefully aligns, levels, and secures machinery to prepare it for installation, commissioning, or production. Before completing the project, we verify that equipment has been placed correctly so your team can move confidently into the next phase of operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the max equipment weight you can lift and move?

Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all capacity, our engineers evaluate each project individually to determine the safest and most efficient lifting solution.

Walker Brothers maintains a broad fleet of cranes, rigging equipment, and specialized transport solutions, allowing us to handle everything from individual machines to large-scale industrial equipment relocations. Contact our team to discuss your project, and we'll develop a customized heavy lift and rigging plan based on your specific requirements.

Do you provide lift planning?

Yes. Every heavy lift project begins with a detailed lift plan developed by our experienced engineers and project managers. We evaluate equipment specifications, load weights, lift points, site access, crane requirements, transportation logistics, and potential safety considerations to create a plan tailored to your project.

Can you provide rigging inside our facility?

Yes. Walker Brothers regularly performs indoor rigging and machinery moving in active manufacturing plants, warehouses, processing facilities, and other industrial environments. Our crews are experienced in working within confined spaces, around existing equipment, and in facilities where minimizing disruption is a top priority.

Can you transport equipment to the new location?

A: Yes. Our team provides end-to-end machinery moving services, including rigging, loading, transportation, unloading, and final equipment placement. We coordinate every stage of the move to ensure your assets are handled professionally and reliably.

Is heavy lift and rigging the same service?

Heavy lifting refers to using cranes and specialized lifting equipment to raise and position large or oversized loads. Rigging involves the planning, equipment, and techniques used to prepare, secure, control, and move those loads throughout the lifting or relocation process.

In most industrial projects, heavy lifting and rigging work together. Walker Brothers provides both services, delivering complete solutions for equipment installation, machinery relocation, plant moves, and other complex industrial projects.
