Brantford Business Parks and the Equipment We Rig
Brantford’s industry sits in two business parks along Highway 403: Braneida on the east side and the newer Northwest Business Park on the west. The City’s business-park list names employers such as Tigercat Industries, Samuel Metal Blanking, Keeprite Refrigeration and Latham Pool Products in Braneida, and Ferrero, Mitsui High-tec, GIZEH Packaging and TreeHouse Private Brands in the Northwest park. The work that follows:
- Heavy fabrication and forestry machines: welding positioners, plate processors and assembly fixtures
- Metal blanking and EV motor cores: stamping and blanking presses, coil handling and dies
- Food, confectionery and packaging: process skids, depositors, wrapping and cartoning lines, moved around production schedules
- Plastics and pool products: injection molding machines, extruders and molds
Ferrero announced a C$445 million expansion of its Brantford plant in April 2025, with new production lines; projects of that size need rigging, installation and line moves around a running plant.
Areas We Cover from Brantford
In the city we work across the Braneida and Northwest business parks, downtown, and the employment lands north of Highway 403. In Brant County we serve Paris, St. George and Burford; to the south and east, Six Nations of the Grand River, Caledonia and Haldimand County; and further out, Norfolk County, Woodstock and Cambridge. Brantford sits between Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo and London, so we cover those cities too, and the rest of the province as machinery movers for Ontario.
Oversize Loads in Brantford and Brant County
City streets in Brantford need a municipal permit from the City of Brantford when a load goes over legal limits. County of Brant roads need the County oversize/overweight load permit, requested at least five business days ahead; single-trip permits are not valid on Saturdays, Sundays, most statutory holidays or at night, and no single-trip permits are issued for overweight loads in March and April. Highway 403 falls under the province, which means an MTO permit as well. We schedule the haul inside those windows and plan in-plant rigging for weekends when your line is down.

Brantford Industrial Rigging: FAQ
It depends on where the equipment ends up. If it stays inside your building, it is work for our industrial rigging services in Brantford; if it leaves for another site, our machinery movers in Brantford handle the haul; and if it must be levelled, aligned and anchored, our millwrights finish it. Most jobs use all three, under one quote.
A rigging company. We plan and carry out the lift, skid or move with our own riggers, mostly using gantries, jack-and-roll and skates. When a pick does need a crane, our crane or a partner crane works inside our plan and its time is in our quote. We do not rent out cranes or operators on their own.
Yes. In-plant rigging is common in Brantford’s business parks: a press turned to a new orientation, a molding machine moved to another bay, or a line shifted to make room for new equipment. We lift it with gantries or jacks, roll it on skates, set it on its marks and leave it level for your team to reconnect.
Yes. Both parks sit along Highway 403, Braneida on the east side of the city and the Northwest Business Park on the west. We rig and move equipment for metal, food, packaging, plastics and fabrication plants in both, and we plan truck access around your dock schedule and shift changes.
Inside your plant, yes: weekend rigging during a shutdown is often the easiest time. On County of Brant roads, single-trip oversize permits are not valid on Saturdays, Sundays, most statutory holidays or at night, and overweight single-trip permits are not issued in March and April, so we haul on weekdays and rig on the weekend when that suits you.
Yes. Brantford’s metal plants run blanking and stamping presses, including motor-core work for electric vehicles, and presses are usually the heaviest machines on those floors. Where the design allows, we split a press into crown, bed and slide, rig and move each section, then rebuild and level the press for your team and the manufacturer to commission.
We quote it case by case. Brantford’s business parks along Highway 403 hold distribution centres as well as plants, and we rig and set conveyor sections, balers, compactors and dock equipment, and move lift trucks between buildings during a fit-out or consolidation. The system integrator looks after controls and commissioning, and your licensed electricians make the power connections.
No. Rope, slings and rigging hardware come from industrial suppliers, and forklift sales or rental from equipment dealers; we use our own gear on our own jobs. Our service is the work itself: rigging, moving, installing and storing industrial machinery for Brantford-area plants, with quotes returned within 2–4 business hours.
