Earlier this month, The ProLift Rigging Company team in Colorado partnered with the Town of Erie to support its seasonal splash pad shutdown. The crew safely removed two splash pad features and loaded them onto a trailer for storage until next season. We're proud to help keep our communities running and support the places where we live and work.

✨ Team Member Spotlight | Erin Whitelaw ✨

Meet Erin Whitelaw, Journeyman Ironworker with The ProLift Rigging Company Canada.

Erin joined the team just two months ago and brings four years of ironworking experience, including welding, fabrication, and structural steel er****on. Earlier this year, Erin achieved a major milestone by completing an apprenticeship and earning a Red Seal certification as an Ironworker.

Erin's favorite projects are those involving big lifts and cranes, and one of the things she enjoys most about the job is that no two days are the same.

Since joining ProLift, Erin has been impressed by the company's commitment to its people.

"ProLift is the first company I've worked for that truly emphasizes training and growth. You're treated like a person, not just a number."

⭐ Project Spotlight ⭐

At the Mississauga Civic Centre, The ProLift Rigging Company Canada team completed the removal of an existing generator and the installation of two new generators and a switchboard despite challenging site access conditions. To gain access to the generator room, our crew first removed the exterior louvers and generator exhaust system, creating an opening through the building wall.

Using a Hydra-Slide XLP 250 system, the existing generator was carefully moved out onto a sloped ramp utilizing an engineered jack-and-slide setup. Because the project required a 5-foot cribbing stack on a graded ramp, our engineering team reviewed and approved the design before work began. Once outside, the generator was lifted by crane and loaded onto a trailer. The team then reversed the process, bringing two new generators and a switchboard through the same opening and setting them into their final positions.

This project highlights the value of detailed planning, engineered solutions, and specialized equipment when navigating complex access constraints.

Meet Romeo Sheha, Ironworker/Rigger for our Toronto branch.

Since joining The ProLift Rigging Company Canada in February 2025, Romeo has brought nearly 23 years of experience in rigging, heavy equipment, and lifting operations. His background includes offshore diving and rigging in the oil and gas industry, along with leadership roles ranging from chargehand to crew supervisor.

Since joining ProLift, Romeo has been impressed by the company's commitment to safety and the family atmosphere that makes employees feel valued and supported.

When he's not on the job, Romeo is a passionate car enthusiast with a particular appreciation for Mercedes-AMG vehicles. He's also earned the nickname "Romeo the 5-Ton Crane" for always taking on the heavy lifting.

We're proud to have Romeo as part of the team. Thanks for all you do, Romeo!

Another day, another critical lift.

Our team recently assisted with the replacement of a Do-Rite air preheater at a major carbon facility in West Texas. Jobs like these don't happen without detailed planning, skilled operators, and a crew focused on safety and ex*****on every step of the way.

The ProLift Rigging Company is proud to support the facilities that keep industry moving and grateful for the people who make projects like this a success.

✨ Team Member Spotlight | Tracy Morra ✨

Meet Tracy Morra, Dispatcher for our Toronto branch.

Although Tracy has only been with ProLift Rigging Canada for a few weeks, she brings 18 years of experience in the heavy equipment industry and has already made a strong impression on the team.

Before joining ProLift, Tracy spent years working with auctioneers and equipment operations. What she enjoys most about her role today is that there's always something new to learn.

One thing that has stood out to Tracy since joining ProLift is the company culture.

As Tracy puts it, "I've worked for quite a few companies over the years, but ProLift is the first place that's made me feel like more than just a number. The support, training, and effort put into employees really stands out and makes it easy to keep learning and growing."

When she's not working, you'll likely find Tracy following sports, especially baseball, or spending time on the golf course.

We're excited to have Tracy as part of the team and look forward to seeing her continue to grow with The ProLift Rigging Company Canada.

Thanks for all you do, Tracy!
