Engineered Rigging has expanded its partnership with Foxtrot Industriel, adding four new robotic dolly models to its offering as demand grows for specialized equipment capable of moving heavy machinery inside industrial facilities.
The move comes amid a surge in industrial construction across the United States, driven by investment in data centres, manufacturing plants, warehouses and renewable energy projects. These developments are creating increased demand for compact material handling solutions that can operate efficiently in confined indoor environments.
Engineered Rigging first introduced the Foxtrot SOLO 20 powered skate to its fleet in late 2025. The company now offers five Foxtrot models with load capacities ranging from 10 to 60 tonnes, all available for rental or purchase.
“Meeting the needs of our clients is always priority number one,” said Mike Beres, Vice President of Engineered Rigging. “By combining the high tech features of Foxtrot’s robotic dollies with Engineered Rigging’s machinery moving expertise, we are able to help clients meet the rigorous demands of a modern industrial plant.”
Manufactured in North America, the battery powered and remote controlled skates are designed for indoor operations where forklifts may not be practical. Their compact dimensions allow them to navigate narrow aisles, crowded workspaces and confined plant environments.
The expanded range includes the lightweight SOLO 10, the versatile SOLO 20, the BRIDGE 40 attachment that doubles lifting capacity to 40 tonnes, the heavy duty SOLO 60 and the TANGO, which combines lifting and lateral movement capabilities for repetitive manufacturing applications.
Engineered Rigging’s specialists work closely with customers to evaluate site conditions, operational requirements and project challenges before recommending the most suitable solution. For particularly demanding applications, the company can also customise Foxtrot equipment through its in house engineering and fabrication teams.
