I've used Southern Rigging & Storage twice to move heavy equipment, both times the team was very professional, friendly and did an amazing job relocating my equipment. This is the best rigging company I've used and I highly recommend them.

Called David and got a extremely fair price. The crew showed up early and were very polite. They moved an 8 ton shear off the truck and into the shop in less than 30 min. I definitely recommend these guys, they couldn't have completed the move any better, Thank you!!!

Report
We worked with Southeastern Rigging to assist with rigging and moving a large CNC machine into a facility in the Tampa area. The team arrived a few minutes early, and provided very prompt and professional service to move the machine into the facility. The team also quickly and easily adapted when the machine arrived in an unexpected type of truck which made the process more difficult. I would definitely recommend Southeastern Rigging for machine moving and rigging services.
