Energy in motion: reliable placement of heavy installations
The energy sector is evolving rapidly. From wind farms to substations, every energy solution relies on a complex infrastructure of transformers, switchgear, generators and other critical equipment.
At Lifthing, we make sure each component ends up in the right place, at the right time, with the right method.
Thanks to our field-tested expertise, customised approach and specialised tools, we ensure a flawless execution, every time.
Technical expertise in demanding energy projects
An industrial move in the energy sector is never a routine task — especially when relocating transformers or generators in a power plant or high-voltage substation.
That’s why every project begins with thorough preparation: site visit, risk assessment and the development of a detailed lifting plan in collaboration with all stakeholders. This allows us to ensure the safety of your team and ours.
We provide support for:
- Placement or relocation of transformers, switchgear, generators and other heavy components
- Installation and connection of equipment in both new and existing infrastructures
- Dismantling and reorganisation with minimal impact on operations
Industrial relocation solutions for the energy sector
With many years of experience, Lifthing contributes to a wide range of energy projects — from transformer replacement in conventional plants to equipment installation in solar farms.
Each project has its own requirements, depending on location, infrastructure and timing.
Our riggers and fitters bring the right lifting and transport tools to every job — from skates and gantries to cranes and air cushion systems.
We operate across several segments of the energy sector:
- Power stations – replacement and installation of heavy equipment
- Substations – precision placement of transformers and switchgear
- Renewable energy – installation of equipment in wind and solar parks
- Nuclear sites – high-security lifting operations in line with strict access and safety protocols
We understand the unique challenges of each site and tailor our approach to meet your specific technical and regulatory needs.
Planning a critical installation?
Our project managers are ready to support you from the start.
Precision work in data centers
In data centers, everything hinges on continuity, accuracy and control.
Lifthing supports operators, contractors and builders with the placement and relocation of heavy or sensitive components, including UPS systems, switchboards, chillers, battery packs and emergency generators.
These operations often take place in tight technical rooms, during live operations or under tight scheduling windows.
Our approach focuses on:
- Minimal downtime and seamless coordination with technical teams
- Controlled handling of sensitive equipment
- Clean and safe execution, even in active server environments
Whether it’s an expansion, upgrade or new build, we make sure your critical infrastructure is positioned on time — safely and ready to perform.
Safety is non-negotiable
We regularly work in live electrical environments, confined spaces or areas where explosive substances may be present. Working in energy environments leaves no room for guesswork. Preparation, execution and risk management must be flawless.
As a specialist in industrial rigging and lifting within the energy sector, we leave nothing to chance. We use certified equipment, follow strict safety procedures, and deploy qualified, experienced teams.
