Engineered Rigging Sets Heavy Lifting Showcase

August 27, 2026 - Engineered Rigging will host its annual Heavy Lifting Showcase October 6 to 7 at its Equipment Depot and Fabrication Facility in Russellville, Arkansas, featuring rigging, machinery moving, and heavy lifting equipment from manufacturers in Canada, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and the United States.

The free event, located about 75 miles west of Little Rock, will require advance registration.

"Technological advancements are transforming how we implement heavy lifts and lateral machinery moves, and understanding the full range of equipment options available is critical to optimizing both efficiency and safety,” said Christopher Cox, P.E., president of Engineered Rigging. “The Heavy Lifting Showcase gives attendees a rare opportunity to experience a world of game-changing innovations in one location."

The Showcase will use 10 interactive stations where attendees can examine equipment, ask questions, and learn about features, capabilities, and applications. Demonstrations will be led by heavy lifting experts from the participating manufacturers.

Officine CLP of Italy will demonstrate its LG202 hydraulic gantry, a 220-ton ultra-compact system making its U.S. debut. The demonstration will also include the LG Series' wireless control system.

Foxtrot Industriel of Canada will showcase robotic dollies designed to move heavy loads through narrow corridors and tight turns. The station will feature the SOLO 60-ton model and the Tango, which lifts and translates loads.

Holmatro Hydraulic Solutions of the Netherlands will display its Apeiron hydraulic battery pump, which the company says operates 50% faster under full load, along with ring climbing cylinders, a 400-ton heavy-duty slide system, and a lightweight 200-ton skidding system. The ring climbing cylinders provide incremental lifts to nearly 36 inches.

Engineered Rigging will demonstrate its ER PS500 Power Slide, a push-pull skidding system with a 500-ton load capacity designed to move heavy machinery into position, including across unsupported gaps. The system is designed and built in Arkansas.

Fassi of Italy will demonstrate its F660RA knuckle boom crane, which is capable of lifting 3.4 tons at a 52-foot (16-meter) radius. The crane is mounted on a custom, compact base designed and fabricated by Engineered Rigging.

Power Team will showcase its eSync Synchronous Lift System, a battery-powered, multi-point lifting platform with accuracy to within one millimeter. The system breaks down into three sections for two-person transport.

Enerpac will display Netherlands-built equipment, including its JS250 jack-up system with a load capacity of 275 tons per tower. The company will also demonstrate its 70-ton strand jacks, which are designed for high-capacity lifting in a compact footprint.

Hilman will highlight machinery moving equipment, including powered dollies, Omni skates, and load handling devices. Scheuerle will demonstrate self-propelled modular transporters, or SPMTs, as part of the Showcase's heavy lifting equipment lineup.

The Heavy Lifting Showcase will take place October 6 to 7 at Engineered Rigging's Equipment Depot and Fabrication Facility in Russellville. Attendance is free, but advance registration is required.

Accredited members of the press are invited to attend the event for equipment demonstrations, photo opportunities, and interviews with Cox; Charles-Éric Raymond, co-founder and president of Foxtrot Industrial; Luca Giordano, CEO of Officine CLP; and technical experts representing the participating manufacturers.
