What Engineered Rigging does

Engineered Rigging is a Valparaiso, Indiana-based specialized heavy lifting equipment provider founded in 2017, serving construction, power/oil & gas, manufacturing, and mining/tunneling customers across the U.S., Latin America, and Canada. The company rents, sells, and services a capital-intensive fleet of hydraulic gantry cranes (45-1,178 tons), strand jacks (17-1,405 tons per jack, up to 60 jacks synchronized), SPMTs, skidding systems, jack-up systems, synchronous lift systems, hydraulic turntables, ring climbing cylinders, and powered skates from OEMs including Enerpac, Holmatro, Goldhofer, Fassi, Jekko, Hilman, Hydraulic Technologies, and Foxtrot. Engineered Rigging holds exclusive-tier status as the first Holmatro Industrial business partner in the USA and is an Authorized Service Center and distributor for Enerpac and Holmatro.

The company's business model is a hybrid of equipment rental (usage-based recurring), equipment sales (authorized distribution), and professional services — including in-house engineering (3D lift plans, feasibility studies, ground bearing calculations), custom design-build fabrication at its 40,000 sq ft Russellville, Arkansas Equipment Depot, dynamic and load testing up to 1,000 tons, and onsite technical support and crew training. Pricing is fully quote-based with no public rate cards; go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by industry events (SC&RA, ASBI, NASCC), case-study content, YouTube demonstrations, and a monthly newsletter.

Notable customer engagements include the $282M Beaver River Bridge Replacement (Fay/S&B USA for the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission), Panther Island Bridges (Texas Sterling), McClugage Bridge (Johnson Bros.), Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket assembly at Cape Canaveral, HRSG Harp Replacement (CUST-O-FAB), locomotive transport at Terminal Cerros de Valparaíso (TIBA Group), and transformer placements at Texas solar farms (Advanced Freight Dynamics). Operating geographies span North America (U.S., Canada) and Latin America (Chile), supported by a Santiago regional HQ. The company is privately held with 11-50 employees and no disclosed funding rounds, ownership changes, or institutional investors.
