Successful lifting operations require more than the right equipment—they require careful planning and experienced execution. Buckeye’s EPRI-certified riggers and signalpersons develop comprehensive lift plans that are reviewed through engineering and safety processes before work begins. From crane coordination and rigging to final equipment placement and millwright alignment, our team manages every step to help ensure a safe, efficient, and successful project.
At Buckeye, every successful lift begins with a well-executed plan. Our experienced rigging and millwright professionals develop detailed lift plans for projects of every size and complexity, ensuring the proper equipment, rigging, and lifting methods are selected. By emphasizing clear communication between crews, operators, and project managers, we help improve jobsite safety, minimize risk, reduce downtime, and keep projects on schedule. From initial planning through final execution, our lift plans are designed to support OSHA requirements and recognized industry best practices.

Buckeye’s industrial rigging services include three core scopes for industrial facilities across Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
Every rigging project follows a proven process designed to ensure safety, coordination, and precision from start to finish. Before any equipment is lifted, Buckeye develops a detailed lift plan that is reviewed and approved by the appropriate project stakeholders. Our crews work closely with the crane operators and our client’s engineering team to ensure every phase of the lift is carefully coordinated. With comprehensive insurance coverage, a strong commitment to safety, and experienced rigging professionals, Buckeye delivers reliable lifting solutions that industrial facilities can trust.
Safety starts long before the lift begins. Buckeye conducts a thorough assessment of the equipment, jobsite conditions, access points, and installation requirements to develop a customized lift plan. After the plan is reviewed by the client’s engineering and safety teams, we coordinate crane logistics and assign qualified union personnel to carry out the lift with precision and confidence.
Buckeye’s EPRI-certified rigging crew safely executes every lift before handing off directly to our millwright team. Our experienced millwrights immediately take over to set, align, and install the equipment with precision. The result is a streamlined project delivered by one trusted team, one coordinated process, and one service partner.
Can Buckeye’s rigging team respond to emergency equipment moves?
Yes. Buckeye’s rigging team handles both scheduled lifts and emergency equipment moves, and our crews are experienced with the urgency and safety requirements that come with emergency scenarios in O&G facilities, steel mills, and power plants.
When do industrial facilities typically call in certified rigging crews?
Industrial facilities typically bring in rigging contractors for planned equipment relocations, equipment replacements during turnarounds or shutdowns, new installations requiring crane support, and emergency equipment moves. From routine equipment relocations to large-scale industrial projects, Buckeye provides the skilled rigging professionals and specialized equipment needed to complete every lift safely and efficiently.
What is EPRI certification and why does it matter for rigging work?
EPRI, the Electric Power Research Institute, certifies riggers and signalmen to the standards the power generation industry requires for heavy equipment handling in hazardous environments. Buckeye holds that certification for both roles, which means complete in-house competency on every lift we make. It’s one of the more demanding rigging credentials in the industry and applies to any heavy industrial project, not just power plant work.
