Established in 1998, Southeastern Rigging has proudly provided machinery moving services in Orlando, Tampa, Daytona, Jacksonville, Ocala, South Florida, & beyond.
With ownership having more than 30 years of specialized moving experience, you can be assured of knowledge and expertise with every job.
Southeastern Rigging has handled billions of dollars in machinery and sculptures and has worked with companies ranging from NASA to Sotheby’s to Amazon.
Our founder Dave Thomas Sr. started in the moving industry in 1964 at the age of 16 driving trucks for his family’s Connecticut business and spent the next 40 years moving machinery all over the country. When he started winches, wooden ramps, and snatch blocks were the norm.
He broke off on his own in 1998 with one truck and one forklift. Hard work, world class skills, and a unique personality that involved cigars and a no nonsense attitude helped build Southeastern’s large clientele base.

Southeastern Rigging has moved tens of thousands of machines and objects for international, national, and local companies over the years.

TRUCKING
We specialize in local & nationwide transportation.
Through our partners we can ship everything from a single pallet to an entire production plant.
Overweight and/or oversize is never a problem.
Southeastern’s many contacts at airports and shipyards make both your domestic and international shipping and receiving trouble free.
Contact your move coordinator as soon as you can if your move dates have changed.
He/she can process any changes to your plan and discuss updates; keep in mind your estimate
may change depending on the dates you selected.
This is one of the most frequently asked moving questions. Often you don’t know when exactly
you will move and thus you can’t schedule your move in advance. It is best though if you can
start contacting movers at least a month in advance. The earlier the better because then you
will have the time to research the moving companies and schedule your move for the desired
day.
