It takes a lot of trust to hand over your valuable machinery and items to a team of riggers. They not only have to remove the items safely but also without damaging them while they are moved. Its a big risk to hire a rigging team that has no experience and the costs of hiring an untested company can be huge. One wrong move and million rand machinery can be damaged irreparably. This is why its best to go with a tried and trusted rigging company, especially in Cape Town.
We at RigRite have a proven track record of successful relocations and rigs. RigRite is trusted to move very valuable items on a daily basis. We have over 15 years experience as a rigging company and are backed by loyal riggers and crane operators.
Rigging out the past
You can see the RigRite team in action here rigging out the 900kg solid brass statue of Cecil John Rhodes on the University of Cape Town Campus. #Rhodesmustfall . We had to rig the giant heavy statue amidst thousands of excited university students and public onlookers. We used our crane and specialized rigging equipment to ensure the statue was secure and not going to slip out of place. It took great skill and confidence in our Rigging team to be able to rig and safely move out such a heavy statue while ensuring that all those present are safe and out of harms way. We even appeared in the the New York times , see the RigRite team in the historic moment lifting the brass statue with our crane. We are a Rigging Company in Cape Town and that made international news.
