The ProLift Rigging Company

What The ProLift Rigging Company does

The ProLift Rigging Company is a privately held, full-service industrial services provider founded in 2014 and headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. The company delivers heavy lifting, rigging, crane, transportation, warehousing, and project management services to mission-critical industrial construction projects, anchored in the data center vertical (its founding industry) and expanded into manufacturing, energy, aerospace, renewables, electrical/mechanical contracting, pharmaceutical, and OEM end markets. ProLift operates more than 22 branch locations across the United States and Canada following acquisitions of ENTREC Cranes & Heavy Haul's Odessa, Dickinson, and Denver branches in 2020 and Prime Rigging's Lincoln, Nebraska branch in 2021, plus its first international location in Toronto, Ontario in 2023.

The service portfolio is organized around three pillars—heavy lifting and rigging, transportation and warehousing, and project management—across ten integrated offerings: Heavy Lifting and Rigging, Warehousing, Project Management, Crane Service, Project Buffering, Overhead Crane Installation, Transportation, Engineering, Machinery Moving, and Facility Relocation. The underlying asset base includes cranes from 3 to 300 tons (all-terrain, carry deck, boom truck, telescopic boom truck), SPMT, lowboy, and drop-deck trailers, gantries, trilifters, and over 300,000 sq ft of secured indoor and outdoor warehouse space. Project Buffering is a distinct capability in which ProLift takes custody of structural, power, and cooling equipment from manufacturer through secured storage to just-in-time delivery on the construction site, a service model that creates multi-stakeholder switching friction. Engineering, machinery moving (up to 400 tons via slide systems), and facility relocation round out the technical stack, supported by AWS-certified welders and OSHA-compliant procedures.

The business model is project-based and quote-driven ([email protected], (855) 900-9111), with revenue generated from equipment rental/utilization (cranes, SPMTs, trailers), specialized labor (riggers, certified operators, welders, engineers), and warehousing/storage fees. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts appear to be awarded on a project-by-project basis to enterprise industrial customers and general contractors. Ownership is private and founder/management-led (Jesse Taylor as CEO), with no disclosed external private equity or venture capital backing. Growth in 2026 has been aggressive, with new branches and facilities opened in Atlanta, Manassas (Virginia), Midland-Odessa, and Corpus Christi alongside new regional data center development leadership, indicating continued capacity-led expansion.
