Example uses the same live ROM Engine rates as the estimator: three 60,627 lb machines, full-service scope, and no travel distance. Site-specific quote requires confirmed route, weights, lift radius, floor condition, and schedule.
Rigging cost drivers
A useful rigging estimate has to model the work, not just multiply tons by a rate. ROM Engine starts with picks, crew, equipment class, duration, trucking, and mobilization.
Heaviest pick
The largest single component drives forklift, gantry, tandem, or crane requirements.
Access difficulty
Tight aisles, low doors, poor dock access, and overhead conflicts increase crew hours.
Equipment plan
Forklifts, boom lifts, gantries, cranes, rigging trucks, and support lifts all change the range.
Mobilization
Crew travel, service trucks, rental delivery, and add-on equipment freight matter before labor starts.
Drop a spreadsheet, PDF, or photo into the estimator
ROM Engine is built for the way machine lists actually arrive: rough equipment schedules, emailed PDFs, photos of data plates, and half-clean spreadsheets. Drop the file, review the parsed machines, then price the scope.
Built for budget conversations
The estimator gives a planning range for early decision-making. It does not replace a field walk, engineered lift plan, or binding proposal, but it helps teams stop guessing before the quote package is ready.
