Whether you are managing a complex rig move or a single heavy lift, Donald Rigging delivers the equipment and expertise required to keep your project on schedule. Customers across Canada rely on our crews’ meticulously planned mobilizations to get the job done right.
Versatile Fleet and Heavy-Lift Capacity
We operate a diverse fleet of boom trucks designed for versatility and power, across local Calgary sites and off-highway industrial zones.
- Capacity Range: Multiple units ranging from 23-ton to 45-ton capacities.
- Hauling Power: All boom trucks are fully equipped to pull trailers for both on and off-highway transport.
- Specialized Maneuvers: Experts in tandem lifts, completions, on-site servicing, and ongoing maintenance for the oil and gas and power industries.
Comprehensive Lifting Solutions for Alberta’s Toughest Industries
We know how challenging Canada’s landscape can be. Donald Rigging provides specialized support across multiple sectors of Western Canada, making sure that your specific site requirements are met with precision.
Oil and Gas and Well Servicing
Our picker trucks are the workhorses of the oilfield. We handle:
- Moving and spotting heavy tanks and vessels.
- Transporting compressor packages, de-highs, and all your site needs.
- In-building engine swaps and compressor maintenance.
Construction and Infrastructure
Avoid the cost of a full-scale mobile crane for mid-sized lifts. Our boom trucks are ideal for:
- HVAC and Rooftop Units: Placing units precisely on industrial rooftops.
- Telecommunications: Setting poles and upgrading cellular infrastructure.
- Materials Delivery: Delivering and flying rebar, formwork, and pallets in one trip.
Industrial Maintenance and Turnarounds
During facility shutdowns, speed is critical. Our fleet minimizes critical path downtime by moving components between shops and units without the long setup times required by larger cranes.
Engineered Lift Planning
A successful lift starts long before the project kicks off. At Donald Rigging, we provide professional lift planning to mitigate risk and control project costs.
- On-Site Evaluations: We assess ground conditions, overhead obstructions (like power lines), and swing-radius clearances.
- Tandem Lift Coordination: For oversized or unbalanced loads, our team synchronizes multiple units to ensure the center of gravity remains stable.
- Load Chart Precision: Every pick is cross-referenced with manufacturer load charts to ensure we stay well within safe operating limits.
Uncompromising Safety and Alberta OHS Compliance
Donald Rigging operates in full alignment with Alberta OHS Code Part 19 and CSA Z150 standards.
- Certified Journeymen: Every operator is a highly trained professional, not just a driver.
- Rigorous Inspections: We perform daily inspections before work, and our fleet undergoes annual structural inspections, with a complete disassembly, certification, and reassembly every 10 years.
- Stability Guaranteed: Every truck is equipped with hydraulic outriggers and stabilizers to ensure a level, secure platform on uneven or sloped terrain.
- Specialized Rigging: We use certified spreader bars, and perform MEG particle yearly inspections. Our slings and hardware are visually inspected daily, before every lift, to prevent failure.
Picker Truck Services in Calgary, Western Canada, and the Northern Territories
While our roots are in Calgary, Donald Rigging is built for the long haul. Our fleet is fully rigged and permitted for cross-border mobilizations, bringing precision to the most demanding environments in Canada.

Saskatchewan and British Columbia
We provide seamless picker truck services for inter-provincial projects, including supporting mining operations in the BC Interior and well-servicing projects across the Saskatchewan prairies. Our boom trucks are equipped for both on and off-highway transit.
