RigUpATL, one of Georgia’s fastest-growing crane and rigging companies, is proud to announce the opening of its newest branch in Orlando, Florida. This expansion marks a major milestone in RigUpATL’s strategic growth plan and significantly enhances the company’s ability to serve clients across Central and Eastern Florida, including the rapidly growing Space Coast.
“This move is more than just expansion, it’s a reflection of our belief in doing things faster, smarter, and better for the clients that count on us,” said Chris Kelly, President of RigUpATL. “Orlando gives us the perfect launchpad to serve Central Florida and the Space Coast with unmatched speed.
We’re proud to be planting roots in this region and we’re bringing our top-tier fleet, values, and commitment to excellence with us. This isn’t just about growth, it’s about investing in our customers, our partners, and the communities that we serve, Kelly added.”
Key Highlights of RigUpATL’s Florida Expansion:
- State-of-the-Art Fleet Deployment: Over the next 6 months, RigUpATL will be relocating 25% of its advanced equipment fleet from its Atlanta headquarters to Orlando, delivering high-performance capabilities to its Florida clients.
- Local Rigging Teams on the Ground: RigUpATL Florida will employ three full rigging crews (12 experienced riggers), all based at the new branch, ensuring rapid mobilization and reliable service across the region.
- Improved Access for the Space Coast: The Orlando location drastically reduces transportation and mobilization costs for clients along Florida’s East Coast, enabling faster response times for aerospace, industrial, and infrastructure projects.
- Lower Costs, Same High Standards: Proximity to customers means operational savings that RigUpATL is passing along to its clients without compromising on safety or service excellence.
- Support for Fast-Moving Projects: The new branch enhances RigUpATL’s ability to support large-scale and time-sensitive work throughout Orlando, Tampa, Daytona, and the broader I-4 corridor.
- Part of a Strategic Growth Vision: This launch reflects RigUpATL’s long-term initiative to establish regional hubs that bring speed, scale, and precision to industrial services across the Southeastern United States.
- Founded in 2023, RigUpATL has rapidly become a trusted partner for complex crane, rigging, and hauling projects. The company’s expansion into Florida represents the latest chapter in a series of bold moves, including its 2023 acquisition of Georgia Rigging, a legacy firm in the Atlanta market.
“As we launch operations in Florida, our priority is delivering the reliable, high-quality service that defines RigUpATL,” said Kevin Hamilton, Managing Director of RigUpATL Florida. “This market is growing fast, and we’re here to meet that momentum with a world-class fleet and professional rigging crews, to doing the job right the first time. It’s an exciting opportunity to serve new clients and set a high standard across Central Florida and the Space Coast.”
