In today’s high-demand construction environment, especially in the data center sector, jobsite efficiency is more important than ever. These projects are complex, fast-moving, and highly technical, with no room for delays or guesswork.
That’s why more contractors are turning to rigging equipment rentals as a strategic advantage. Renting provides the flexibility, speed, and reliability needed to meet the demands of multi-phase builds, all without the overhead of equipment ownership.

Data center construction typically happens in stages: site prep, structural steel, interior installation, mechanical integration, and commissioning. Each of these phases can require different types of lifting gear, from low-clearance hoists for confined indoor lifts to modular spreader beams for rooftop HVAC units.
Owning every tool for every phase isn’t practical. By renting instead, contractors can:
Access specialized equipment only when it’s needed
Avoid downtime caused by storing or maintaining gear between phases
Easily rotate tools as project requirements shift
This flexibility not only improves efficiency, it simplifies logistics and helps keep teams focused on the work at hand.

Because data center construction involves a variety of spaces and structures, it’s essential to use the right equipment for the job. Here are just a few examples of how rental solutions align with common challenges:
Early Phase Installs: Use hydraulic jacks, robot skates, or rol-a-lifts to place switchgear, enclosures, or heavy electrical equipment at floor level
Interior Work in Tight Spaces: Choose hand chain hoists, aluminum gantries, and floor cranes for controlled indoor lifts
Rooftop or Exterior Installs: Rely on modular spreader beams, X-beams, and rigging systems for lifting HVAC units, chillers, and generators
Equipment Movement: Use crazy skates, clamps and trolleys, or SEM hoists to safely navigate around sensitive infrastructure
Renting makes it easy to match your equipment to each task without unnecessary expense or delay.
