Power transformers and switchgear weigh tens to hundreds of tonnes and can’t tolerate shock, tilt or improper handling — and with the PowerCo gigafactory and major Hydro One transmission work underway around London / St. Thomas, demand for specialized electrical-equipment rigging in Southwestern Ontario has never been higher.
Rigging-Busters connects you with heavy-rigging crews equipped for exactly this work. Using SPMT transport, hydraulic gantries, jack-and-slide and engineered lift plans, we move, set and install transformers, switchgear and substation components — safely, on schedule, and to spec.
