Relocating an entire industrial facility is one of the most complex and mission-critical projects a company can face. It’s not just about moving equipment—it’s about moving operations, uptime, and revenue. Whether you’re consolidating multiple locations, expanding into a new region, or upgrading your production environment, a successful plant relocation requires detailed planning, expert coordination, and zero margin for error.

Every component—machinery, tools, inventory, infrastructure—must be safely dismantled, transported, and reinstalled with precision. Timelines are tight. Safety is paramount. And any delay can create a ripple effect that impacts productivity, supply chains, and customer relationships.

That’s where RigX comes in.

We provide full-service plant relocation services tailored to the needs of industrial clients. From initial site assessments and engineered lift plans to dismantling, heavy hauling, and final equipment setting, RigX manages every phase of your industrial relocation with efficiency, safety, and clarity. We understand the stakes—and we’re built to deliver under pressure.

If you’re preparing for a full facility move, here’s what to expect and how RigX makes it simple.

The process begins with a thorough understanding of your goals, equipment, timeline, and facility layout. RigX conducts on-site assessments at both the origin and destination to identify any constraints, access issues, or environmental factors that could affect logistics. This phase sets the foundation for accurate planning and risk mitigation.

Key activities include:

• Inventory of all movable assets
• Identifying critical path equipment
• Evaluating floor loads, ceiling clearances, and utility access
• Reviewing safety procedures and facility protocols

A successful full facility move depends on engineering-grade planning. RigX develops a comprehensive relocation strategy that includes project sequencing, rigging plans, equipment staging, manpower allocation, and a safety roadmap.

We identify the most efficient order to dismantle and reinstall equipment, determine whether staging or temporary storage is required, and coordinate closely with your internal team to align with production schedules.

Deliverables may include:

• Detailed relocation schedule
• Engineered lift plans and CAD drawings
• Transportation logistics with permitting and escorts
• Staffing plans and safety compliance procedures

With plans in place, the relocation begins with precise equipment dismantling and rigging. This phase involves unbolting, labeling, disconnecting, and safely securing machinery for transport. Our team ensures every asset is carefully prepared to avoid damage, contamination, or misalignment.

RigX’s rigging crews use industry-best practices to protect both sensitive machinery and surrounding infrastructure during extraction. Clean removal is especially critical in operational or multi-tenant environments.

RigX provides turnkey industrial relocation logistics using a specialized fleet designed for oversized and high-value cargo. We manage the permitting process, escort vehicle coordination, and route planning to ensure every piece of equipment arrives on-site safely and on schedule.

Whether it’s across town or across state lines, our heavy hauling experts protect your assets with proper bracing, packaging, and vibration control.

At the destination site, RigX completes the relocation with expert equipment setting and final placement. We level, anchor, and align machinery per manufacturer specs and client requirements—ensuring immediate readiness for commissioning.

We coordinate closely with electricians, millwrights, and facility managers to streamline integration into your new layout. This minimizes downtime and avoids the handoff gaps that often delay startups.

Once your facility is operational, we finalize the project with a full review, equipment verification, and closeout documentation. Many clients choose to keep RigX on call for future facility expansions or additional relocations.

Our post-move support includes:

• Final asset checklist and condition reports
• On-site troubleshooting for adjustments
• Recommendations for preventive maintenance or upgrades

Plant relocations demand more than transportation—they require leadership, precision, and accountability. RigX brings all three. With decades of combined experience, engineered planning tools, and a full suite of rigging, hauling, and installation capabilities, we make your full facility move seamless and stress-free.
