01
Multi-Crane Picks
Tandem and multi-crane lifts engineered and rehearsed in advance — load shared, rigging balanced, every pick point verified before the load leaves the ground.
Service 01 — Rigging
Rigging &
Equipment Setting.
Heavy rigging and hoisting, crane coordination and lift planning, equipment setting and installation, and industrial shutdown and maintenance support — delivered by crews who plan every critical lift before the load leaves the ground.
What Rigging Means Here
We solve the picks nobody else wants.
We take great pride in being able to solve difficult problems with regards to setting equipment. Whether it requires multi-crane picks, slide systems or portable gantry systems, we will get it done safely.
Lear West specializes in setting natural gas compressors, turbines, reciprocating engines, coolers, control buildings and all associated equipment. Our crews self-perform the work, so the same people who plan the lift are the people on the load line.
Lear West does more than simply receive and set equipment. Our team works directly with manufacturers and their representatives during installation to help ensure equipment is properly positioned, aligned, and set up in accordance with project and manufacturer requirements.
Our safety record is impeccable and we always strive to keep it that way. Please consider us for your next rigging project — we guarantee you will be satisfied.

The Lear West Approach
Every critical lift
preplanned in 3D
Reviewed before any work is done.
Capabilities
However the load
has to move
Cranes are only one tool. When access, headroom or weight rules out a conventional pick, we bring the method that fits the site.
02
Slide Systems
When crane access runs out, we slide it in. Skid and slide systems move heavy packages into tight buildings and confined station layouts under full control.
03
Portable Gantry Systems
Self-contained gantry rigs let us set and position equipment inside finished structures and low-headroom spaces where mobile cranes simply cannot reach.
04
Engineered Critical Lifts
Every critical lift is preplanned with 3D Lift Plan software and reviewed by our team before any work begins — no improvising on the load line.
What We Set
The equipment that runs the station
Specialized rigging for oil and natural gas infrastructure — compression, power and process equipment, set safely and on schedule.
Natural Gas Compressors
Setting compressor packages and skids on station — reciprocating and centrifugal.
Turbines
Precision setting and alignment of gas turbine packages and drivers.
Reciprocating Engines
Engines and drivers set, shimmed and positioned to spec on their foundations.
Coolers
Air coolers and heat exchangers rigged and set over piping and structure.
Control Buildings
Control buildings, electrical houses and enclosures placed on their foundations.
Associated Equipment
Vessels, skids, piping spools and all the associated equipment that completes a station.
3D Lift Plan Capabilities
Planned on the screen before the pad.
All of our critical lifts are preplanned with 3D Lift Plan software and reviewed before any work is done. This allows us to verify crane capacities, proper rigging and any possible safety issues before the crane is even started — so the day of the pick holds no surprises.
We use 3D lift planning to evaluate crane positioning, load weights and radii, rigging configurations, clearances, and overall lift execution before work begins.
01
Site & Load Review
We review load weights, centers of gravity, ground conditions, access and obstructions before anything is scheduled.
02
3D Lift Plan
The pick is modeled in 3D Lift Plan software — crane position, radius, capacity, rigging and clearances all confirmed on paper first.
03
Pre-Job Review
The plan is reviewed with the crew, the general contractor and the owner. Everyone on the pad knows the sequence before the crane sets up.
04
Execute & Verify
The lift is executed to the plan by experienced riggers, then the set is verified and turned over ready for the next trade.
