Crane and Rigging Services

The 3-3-3 rule is a ground-bearing guideline that checks outrigger pad size, ground pressure, and swing-path clearance before a crew sets a crane. On a Woodstock site, the crew uses it to confirm cribbing and mat placement on soft or uneven ground before any load is lifted.

A rigging crew confirms the load weight, centre of gravity, and attachment points, then matches slings, shackles, and spreader bars to that load. This walkthrough happens on site before the crane arrives, so the lift plan matches the actual machine.

A rough-terrain or all-terrain crane needs a cleared path wide enough for the crane body plus clearance for the boom's swing radius, and solid or matted ground for the outriggers. The crew walks the route with the site contact ahead of the lift to confirm gates, overhead lines, and turning space.

Yes, a lift plan is worked out before the crew mobilizes, covering crane position, rigging hardware, and the lift sequence. It's reviewed against that site's ground conditions and any overhead obstructions.

Rigging and machinery moving inside a plant is handled with lower-profile equipment, such as carry deck cranes or skates, where boom clearance is limited. The crew checks door openings, floor load limits, and aisle width before choosing a lift method.

A rigging job typically brings slings, shackles, spreader bars, tag lines, and cribbing or mats for the outriggers, matched to the load being lifted. The exact hardware is selected after the load weight and attachment points are confirmed on site.
