The Nation’s Leading Electrical And Lighting Provider

When it comes to rigging heavy machinery – often involving the movement of hundreds of thousands of pounds – safety isn’t just a priority, it’s the foundation behind every decision. The sheer weight and complexity inherent in industrial rigging services mean there’s no room for error.

The industrial contracting world is seeing rapid shifts and advances in technologies, and the realm of rigging safety is no exception. As the industry progresses into 2025, new technologies and methods are reshaping safety practices to ensure even the most complex lifts are conducted safely and securely.

IoT Devices: A Game-Changer for Real-Time Monitoring

The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming industrial rigging services by embedding smart sensors into lifting equipment. These sensors provide real-time data on important safety factors like load stress, equipment health and environmental conditions. For example, operators can monitor the weight distribution during a lift, ensuring no single component is overburdened.

At Lee Industrial Contracting, our 75-ton calibrated load cell ensures precise load measurements, critical for safe and accurate lifts. This load cell undergoes monthly calibrations to guarantee its accuracy, providing operators with confidence that the equipment is performing at its best.

Additionally, our carry deck cranes are equipped with load moment indicators (LMI) that deliver exceptional precision with a tolerance of + or – 1% to 0.3%. These tools allow us to proactively monitor loads in real time and respond to any anomalies before they escalate into hazards.

IoT also enables remote monitoring so teams can immediately respond to issues before they escalate into hazards. This level of visibility eliminates guesswork, increasing both safety and efficiency.
