Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association

Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association The Specialized Carriers and Rigging Association (SC&RA) is an international trade association of over 1,400 member companies from 46 countries.

SC&RA is organized into four groups under a Board of Directors. These groups focus on their specific concerns while working together for the common good:
•The Allied Industries Group provides a gamut of products and services for other SC&RA members. They rely on SC&RA’s major meetings to network with their customers and help the Association uphold its reputation for conducting first-class meeting

s by contributing thousands of dollars as event sponsors.
•The Crane & Rigging Group covers rigging, crane rental and millwright work and addresses such areas as labor relations; safety legislation, regulations and standards; trends in technology and equipment; permit policies and procedures for transporting cranes; and loss prevention, accident investigation and litigation management.
•The Ladies Group consists of women affiliated with or married to employees of an SC&RA member company. Members largely direct their efforts to furthering the SC&R Foundation, which provides industry-related research and scholarships to students preparing for a career in the industry.
•The Transportation Group encompasses the various specialized carriers and addresses such areas as federal regulations involving hours-of-service, electronic on-board recorders and load securement; regional permitting of oversize/overweight loads; pilot car best practices; anti-terrorism; and litigation concerns.

When route surveys are incomplete, information is scattered, or approvals come late, heavy-haul and oversized cargo projects can lose time before the move ever begins.

On September 16, Kevin Kwateng, Founder & CEO of Project Logistics - Consulting | Engineering | Software, will walk through how better field capture, transport engineering, and software-enabled workflows can help teams turn route surveys, clearance checks, and site conditions into clearer decisions.

The session is built for carriers, riggers, engineers, and project teams looking to reduce rework, delays, and risk on complex moves.

So much of this industry depends on people getting where they need to go safely.

During National Traffic Awareness Month, we’re reminded of the responsibility we all share on the road. For our members, that can mean planning a move carefully, watching changing conditions, communicating clearly, or simply giving others the space and patience they need.

Small choices can make a big difference. Stay aware, take your time, and look out for the people around you.
