ATLANTA INDUSTRIAL RIGGING
Industrial Rigging in Atlanta, Planned by the Crew That Lifts It
Machinery moving, heavy lifts and production line relocations for Atlanta plants and warehouses. In-house riggers survey the load, move it and re-level it back into tolerance.

WHY IT MATTERS
The Machine Is the Expensive Part
When a plant moves, the trucks and the boxes are the easy part. The hard part is the machine that runs the whole operation: the CNC center, the press, the molder, the line that cannot be down for more than a weekend. Move it wrong and the problem is not a scratch. It is a cracked casting, a lost calibration, or a load that tips, and then weeks of waiting on parts while orders slip.
That is why rigging gets planned before it gets lifted. Our riggers get the weight and center of gravity of every machine, walk the path from where it sits to where it is going, check the floor and the clearances, and decide how it moves before anyone touches a wrench. The same people who write that plan are the ones who carry it out, so nothing gets lost between the office and the floor.
Flood Brothers is based in Atlanta, so for most metro jobs the survey can happen this week and the crew is not coming from out of state.
HOW WE WORK
Moving a Whole Line, Not Just One Machine
When a production line moves, the order matters as much as the lifting. Conveyors, robotic cells and controls get matchmarked when they come apart and set back in the order your integrator needs them. If the new building is not ready yet, equipment can be staged in our warehouse between phases, so nothing sits on a loading dock waiting for its new home.
LOCAL KNOW-HOW
Rigging Across Metro Atlanta's Industrial Belt
Atlanta’s heavy equipment lives in a few very different kinds of places. The older plants along Fulton Industrial and around the airport were built decades ago, which can mean low headers, tight bays and floors nobody has checked in years. The newer distribution and light manufacturing parks out in Gwinnett, Henry and along I-75 to the north have better docks and higher ceilings, but long travel paths and busy floors that have to keep running while we work.
Georgia weather matters too. Summer storms roll in fast in the afternoon, so outdoor picks and anything moving across an open yard get scheduled with the forecast in mind, not just the calendar.
Wherever the plant is, the job is the same: know the load, know the path, keep people clear, and get the machine running again on schedule.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
What We Rig and Move in Atlanta
Single machines or full lines, surveyed, moved and re-set by the same in-house crew.
-
CNC and Machine Tools
Machining centers, lathes, mills and grinders moved without upsetting their geometry, then re-leveled.
-
Presses and Molders
Stamping presses, press brakes and injection molders, including heavy units that need staging and jacking.
-
Production Lines
Conveyors, robotic cells and automation matchmarked at teardown and set back in the right order.
-
Generators and Transformers
Dense, top-heavy lifts with the pick points and travel path engineered before anything leaves the pad.
-
Mechanical Equipment
Chillers, compressors, boilers and air handlers, including mechanical rooms and rooftop placements.
-
Staging Between Sites
Warehouse space to hold equipment between phases, so a machine never waits on the floor for its new home.
THE PLAN
How a Rigging Job Runs
-
Survey the Load
Weight, dimensions and center of gravity for every machine, plus a walk of the whole path: doors, turns, ramps, overhead and the floor it has to cross.
-
Write the Rigging Plan
Lift method, gear, crew and sequence decided on paper first, along with any crane, permit or shoring the job needs.
-
Move It
Jacks, skates, gantries, forklifts or a crane assist, whatever the load calls for, and air-ride transport when it has to travel.
-
Set and Level
Set on the pad or anchors, re-leveled to tolerance, and checked with your team so the machine is ready to run.

General
-
Both, and that is the point. The same in-house riggers who survey the machine and write the plan are the ones who lift it, and the rest of the move is handled by the same company. Nobody meets your equipment for the first time on move day.
-
That depends on the equipment, but the plan is built to keep it as short as possible. We sequence the disconnects, the move and the re-set around your production schedule, and a lot of this work happens on nights and weekends so the line loses the fewest shifts.
-
We check before we commit. Point loads at the destination, the slab along the path, ramps and dock plates all get looked at in the survey. If something will not carry the load, we plan cribbing, plates or another route instead of finding out with the machine on it.
-
When the job needs a crane, we coordinate it and the permits that go with it, and we plan the pick around the site and the weather. Most moves inside a plant never need one: jacks, skates and gantries do the work.
-
Call us. We are available around the clock for emergencies, and Atlanta is home base, so a crew is not coming from out of state.

Have a Machine That Needs to Move?
Send the equipment list, both addresses and the window you have. We will come out, survey the load and send back a plan.
