What Does Load-Only Machinery Rigging Mean?
Load-only generally means the machine is ready and accessible and the rigger's scope is to lift or place it onto the customer's truck or container. Exact inclusions must be stated in the quote.
Truck readiness matters
The correct trailer must arrive at the agreed time.
Securement boundaries matter
Clarify blocking and preparation versus carrier transport securement.
What this looks like on a real machinery-moving type of job.
Load-only pricing works best when everyone agrees that the machine will be released, accessible and prepared before the loading crew begins.
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.
