Rigging in the food and beverage industry has specific job requirements with regards to personal hygiene, cleanliness, and equipment usage. HWP has the resources and equipment necessary to operate effectively in most controlled environments. We set aside equipment specifically for use in “clean room” environments. We have a selection of electric-powered lifting equipment for use in clean room areas. Our technicians understand the restrictions and guidelines set forth by food manufacturing regulatory bodies and take special care when working in such facilities.
At HWP we appreciate the value of culture and art. Some of our most interesting and technically challenging jobs have involved the rigging and transportation of large, irregularly shaped sculptures and works of art. We know that dismantling and transporting art and artifacts requires extreme care, and that each piece presents different challenges. For these reasons, we provide engineered lift plans, crate construction, and carefully handle your cargo using task-specific rigging tools.
Our technicians have extensive training and experience in rigging and relocating medical imaging equipment such as MRI, CT scan, and X-ray machines.
