Rigging Services

Many of our clients often request our services to oversee and manage removal efforts for one reason…we can do what most common riggers can’t! Sometimes riggers (although qualified to “move” machinery) do not understand the intricacies of these process and packaging machines and the parts included with each unit. KMRS can handle all aspects of your removal from “A to Z”

Supplying of all labor, equipment needed and materials needed at the job site to complete the removal efforts
Securing all available documentation including drawings and manuals
Securing all available change parts / spare parts for each unit
Electrical and pneumatic disconnect with careful match marking of all wires
Construction or demolition of interior / exterior walls
Packing services as follows:
- Bubble wrapping and boxing of small fragile equipment (lab equipment, glassware, etc.)
- Skidding
- Vacuum sealing
- Crating (both skeleton style and export boxes)
- Loading of client’s trucks or containers and securing of freight for safe transport

KMC has many process and packaging engineers on staff to oversee and manage a particular removal job. It is this expertise that allows KMRS to stand alone from other riggers and provide our clients with a peace of mind that their equipment is being handled carefully, safely, and most importantly, as if it was their own.

KMRS has discounts with many freight providers which we are able to pass on the savings to our clients. We are able to obtain competitive rate quotes for clients' review to ensure the least expensive means of transportation
