Generator & Transformer Rigging in NYC

Standby generators set on their pads. Transformers rigged into vaults and mechanical rooms. Switchgear landed on the right floor without a scratch. We move the heavy end of the electrical scope, so your electricians can get to work.

Complex Lifts. Complete Confidence.

Client Reviews

Power equipment is the worst combination a building can throw at riggers: extremely heavy, surprisingly fragile, and needed exactly where access is worst. A generator that ships at fifteen tons still has to land within an inch of its anchor bolts. A transformer still has to get down the vault opening it barely fits. This is commercial rigging work, and it's work we do all over the city for electrical contractors, equipment dealers, and building owners.

The heavy end of the electrical room

Standby generators

Diesel and gas gensets craned to roofs, yards, and setbacks, and set level on their pads.

Transformers

Dry-type and padmount units rigged into vaults, basements, and electrical rooms.

Switchgear & panels

Gear sections moved intact through buildings that were not designed for them.

UPS & battery systems

Cabinets and battery strings placed floor by floor, weight spread where the slab wants it.

Day tanks & fuel equipment

Tanks and pumps rigged into place alongside the gensets they feed.

Old equipment out

Dead gear decommissioned, rigged out, and hauled away as part of the same mobilization.

Any placement a building can ask for

When Power Can't Wait

Failed unit? We move on your emergency clock.

When a building's generator dies or a transformer lets go, the replacement can't sit on a truck waiting for a convenient date. We mobilize for emergency swaps, off-hours and weekends included, and coordinate with your electricians so power is back with the least possible downtime.

What electrical contractors ask us

Do you set the generator on its pad, or just deliver it?
We set it: craned or rigged into position, landed on the anchor bolts, leveled, and left ready for your electricians to connect. Delivery-only is someone else's business model.
Can you get a transformer into a basement vault?
Yes. Vault and basement rigging is core work: down through hatches, sidewalk openings, or stairs, with gantries and skates doing what a crane can't reach.
Can you remove the old unit in the same visit?
Yes, and it's usually the smart way to do it. One mobilization takes the dead gear out and sets the new equipment, instead of paying for two setups.
Do you handle emergency replacements?
Yes. Failed power equipment moves on an emergency clock and so do we, including nights and weekends. Call with the details and we'll tell you how fast we can be there.
What do you need for a quote?
The equipment make and model or weight and dimensions, where it's coming from, where it lands, and photos of the access. Pad sets and roof picks usually price same-day.
Is this residential generator installation?
No. We're the rigging side for commercial and industrial power equipment. For a home standby unit, your installer's dealer network is the right call.

Power equipment on the move?

Send the equipment specs, both locations, and the access photos. We'll come back with the rigging plan, the crane if it needs one, and a price, fast enough to keep your schedule honest.
