Equipment Spotlight: Megalift Jacking Systems
Our Megalift jacking systems provide an innovative solution for cost-effective movement and lifting of machinery or plant equipment across the nation.
What are Megalift Jacking Systems Used For?
If you have a complex lifting or moving project, (e.g. in a confined space, or where there are restricted floor loadings), our Megalift jacking systems are the perfect solution for projects where traditional lifting methods can’t be used.
Without the additional costs of dismantling roofs or steelwork, we use specialist hydraulic gantry systems which allow:
- Safe load raising
- Lowering
- Turning
- Tilting
- Traversing
From installation to removals of machinery and equipment, we can set up under, over, around, or adjacent to the load.
As well as being so versatile, our Megalift systems also have the ability to:
- Travel the load forward and backwards with it’s travelling jacks.
- Counterbalance lifts, which allows the distance of the lift to be greater.
- Side shift along the beams with our specialist side shift system.
- Rotate lifted vessels with the Megalift turntable.
Safety is Our Priority For Complex Heavy Lifting and Moving
In line with our strict QESH standards, we ensure complete stability and safety whilst lifting your machinery and equipment.

The people behind the heavy lifting
Without the expertise of the VIG team, it would be impossible to use these jacking systems safely.
One of our Installations Managers, Dean Podmore, comments,
“A Megalift system can move massive loads, but the real work happens before the lift starts.
Ensuring the jacks are level, the structure is balanced, and every component is secure is what
keeps the operation safe. The key is to respect the equipment and never rush the process.”
