At Colonna's, our crane and rigging teams are experts at the on-and-off loading of materials for repair and installation.

The Rigging Shop supports other Shops/Trades for moving material and equipment on/off vessel for repair and installation. Additionally, this shop has responsibility for all transportation equipment in the yard. The riggers are responsible for erection of staging and temporary platforms, operation of cranes, and removal/installation of major vessel components and equipment, splicing of hoist/lift cables, building cribbing and cradles, replacement of cable on cranes, and the evaluation of lifting capability of pad eyes, chains, cables, beams, spreader bars, shackles and hooks. Typical removal/installation components and equipment include valves, anchor handling equipment, consoles and generators with lifts up to 50 tons. The yard owns and operates over 20 cranes with maximum capacity lifts to 300 tons. Heavier lifts are supported by renting or leasing from several available crane companies in the area. All cranes and lifting equipment is tested and certified annually as required by State, Local and Federal regulations.
