List every utility
Electrical, air, water, gas, coolant, exhaust and dust collection may be involved.
Does Machinery Need to Be Disconnected Before Rigging?
Machinery normally must be safely disconnected from facility utilities before it can be moved. Responsibility varies by site and trade requirements, so confirm it in the scope rather than assuming the rigger handles every utility.
Follow facility rules
Lockout/tagout and qualified-trade requirements apply.
Define the handoff
The rigging crew should know when the machine will be released for movement.
What this looks like on a real machinery-moving type of job.
Industrial auction jobs often have multiple contractors onsite, making a written boundary between electrical disconnect and rigging work especially useful.
Example is generalized from common industrial rigging situations and is not presented as a named customer project or site-specific lift plan.
A guide can narrow the questions. The machine and site determine the move.
For job-specific pricing, provide photos or a listing, the equipment location, approximate weight if known, requested services and deadline. Unknown details can be identified during review.
