Working inside a cleanroom or other controlled environment isn’t just another day on the job—it’s a specialized task that requires discipline, planning, and extreme care. In industries like semiconductor manufacturing, biotech, pharmaceuticals, and advanced electronics, a single misstep during an equipment move can result in contamination, production delays, or even equipment failure.

At RigX, we provide cleanroom-compatible rigging and installation services for clients who need more than standard heavy equipment handling. From semiconductor equipment moving to specialized lifts inside R&D labs and ISO-certified facilities, we help companies complete high-stakes moves with the precision and protection they demand.

Unlike traditional rigging environments, cleanrooms and other controlled facilities have strict requirements for air purity, particle counts, temperature, humidity, and contamination control. Every surface, material, and movement must be considered in order to maintain the integrity of the space.

• Unique challenges in cleanroom rigging include:
• Working within ISO Class 7 to Class 4 environments
• Wearing appropriate PPE and following gowning protocols
• Using non-shedding materials and cleanroom-rated rigging gear
• Minimizing airborne particles, vibration, and disruption
• Navigating tight spaces and overhead restrictions without compromising the environment

Standard construction or rigging crews aren’t typically equipped or trained to meet these expectations. That’s why working with a partner like RigX—who understands both cleanroom protocol and heavy equipment logistics—is critical.

RigX has experience moving, lifting, and installing a wide range of sensitive equipment inside controlled environments. Our crews are trained to manage everything from precision semiconductor tools to specialized production line components.

Common cleanroom rigging projects include:

• Photolithography tools and wafer processing equipment
• Semiconductor fabrication machinery
• Biotech lab equipment and processing vessels
• CNC machinery and robotics for electronics manufacturing
• R&D instrumentation and metrology equipment

These items are often extremely sensitive to vibration, alignment, and contamination—meaning they must be handled with exacting care from loading dock to final placement.

Every RigX cleanroom project begins with a detailed planning phase. We work closely with your facility managers, engineers, and EHS staff to create a custom lift and movement strategy that respects all cleanliness, safety, and operational requirements.

Our process typically includes:

1. Site Walkthrough & Environmental Assessment — Understanding gowning procedures, ISO class ratings, and space limitations.
2. Equipment Review & Lift Planning — Evaluating equipment size, weight, sensitivity, and installation tolerances.
3. Rigging Prep & Clean Practices — Cleaning equipment and gear before entry, using floor protection, and coordinating entry through airlocks.
4. Precision Movement & Placement — Navigating tight pathways, overhead clearances, and final positioning within clean zones.
5. Post-Lift Review & Clean Verification — Final wipe-downs, floor protection removal, and client walkthrough.

We also coordinate closely with electricians, millwrights, and OEM installers when required to ensure a complete, fully integrated setup.

High-tech clients don’t have room for error. Whether it’s a tool install at a fabrication plant or a critical lab expansion, precision and accountability are everything. RigX brings both.

Here’s what sets our cleanroom rigging services apart:

• Experienced teams trained in cleanroom protocol and gowning
• Clean-rated rigging materials and PPE
• Equipment-specific handling procedures to prevent vibration and static buildup
• Proven experience in semiconductor, electronics, and pharma environments
• Detailed coordination with client-side engineers, OEMs, and general contractors

When the stakes are high and the tolerance for disruption is near zero, RigX provides the discipline, professionalism, and follow-through your team can count on.

Our cleanroom rigging services support clients in:

• Semiconductor manufacturing and chip fabrication
• Aerospace and defense electronics
• Advanced research laboratories and test facilities
• Biotech and life sciences
• Pharmaceutical production and packaging

These facilities all share a need for strict process control, high equipment sensitivity, and minimal downtime—and that’s where RigX delivers.

If you’re planning a move, installation, or equipment upgrade in a cleanroom or high-spec environment, RigX is ready to help. Our team understands what’s required to move high-value equipment with cleanroom discipline—and we’re equipped to execute every step.
