The Sack Company is a millwright and rigging company backed by a full mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) contractor. Sack millwrights install new machinery, move equipment inside a plant and relocate entire production lines. Because the mechanical and electrical crews are in-house too, one contractor can handle the move, the set and the tie-ins.
Sack millwrights erect, align and level new machinery, install and modify equipment, and run the conveyors and piping that connect it. Past installations include:
Sack crews can work safely around an active plant, so production keeps running while the new line goes in.
Sack also installs specialty foundations, stairs, platforms and catwalks, and makes structural modifications when the equipment calls for them. For more on what millwrights do, read Understanding the Role of Millwrights in Your Industry.
Sack can disassemble, crate and package any piece of machinery or an entire plant, then handle the logistics of getting it to the new site, in the United States or overseas. Every relocation starts with a Sack team walking the current site and the new one in person, so the plan is built around the real equipment.
Sack has relocated plants across the country and internationally, including a valves and controls manufacturing plant moved from Germany to Nevada.
Shutdowns are part of the work. Sack plans and runs facility shutdowns for relocations and for service, and the crew confirms every lockout and tests the air before anyone goes in.

The rigging team builds lift plans in 3D Lift from Sack's own CAD drawings, so each pick can be checked from any angle before lift day.
On one job, the team used an 80 ton crane to set 5 air handling units in 24 lifts, then a 160 ton crane for 10 more lifts to set lab exhaust fans on the roof. Read how the rigging and mechanical teams worked together on that project.
Each Sack department can work on its own, and on industrial jobs they work as one team. Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, millwright and rigging crews coordinate in-house, which takes that load off the owner and the general contractor.
The industrial team is cross trained in pipefitting, welding, rigging and operating equipment. Millwright and rigging projects have ranged from $100,000 to $4 million, and those crews travel well beyond the Southeast when a job calls for it.
Planning a new install, a machinery move or a plant relocation? Sack will send a team to walk your site and put together a plan and proposal.
