Kraftmade Cabinet Factory
The Egyptians have the pyramids, the Chinese have the Great Wall, and KraftMaid Cabinetry has an enormous 890,000 square foot facility in South Jordan, Utah. The largest cabinet maker in the world needed over 300 loads of custom-made machinery transported and installed before the plant could open its doors, and it was Intermountain Rigging and HeavyHaul that provided a simple, cost-effective solution.
Since IRH began its partnership with Kraftmaid Cabinetry in 2005, IRH’s riggers have transported and subsequently installed over 300 loads of custom-made machinery to suit the needs of the world’s largest cabinet maker.
As the only rigging firm under contract with Kraftmaid, IRH has been responsible for transporting everything from enormous Holzma saws to the fully-automated, GPS-equipped forklifts that roam the 890,000 square foot facility.
With the Kraftmaid factory located in nearby South Jordan, IRH has been able to maintain a constant on-site presence. Depending on the day, anywhere from 2 to 10 riggers are suited up and ready to switch-out and re-install equipment as needed.
Possible future projects include the construction of a permanent, on-site gantry system to further streamline IRH’s operation.
