Installing a CT or MRI system isn’t as simple as rolling equipment through the front door. These are massive, delicate machines—often weighing tens of thousands of pounds—that need to be placed with precision in facilities that weren’t always designed to accommodate them.
That’s where BMI-PMI’s experience makes all the difference.
When hospitals and imaging centers think about upgrading or expanding their imaging capabilities, a common concern is, “How will we even get the equipment inside?”
BMI-PMI has proven time and again that the answer is: there’s always a way. Whether it means craning a CT scanner through a second-story window, guiding an MRI into a tight basement space, or maneuvering a system into a high-rise facility, our team treats each install as a solvable challenge—not a barrier.
Second-Story Access – As shown in our featured video, we safely hoisted a fully reconditioned CT through an upper-level opening while the building was still under construction.
Tight Urban Spaces – In major cities where alleys and entrances are narrow, our crews have coordinated traffic control and precision rigging to slide equipment into place with just inches to spare.
High-Rise Facilities – For one project, we lifted a scanner even higher than a second story, carefully working with structural engineers and crane operators to ensure both safety and success.
Basement Installations – In older hospitals, imaging suites are often located below grade. Our team has navigated steep ramps and designed custom rigging solutions to safely lower multi-ton equipment into underground spaces.
Healthcare providers shouldn’t have to limit their technology options because of building design. By taking on the “impossible” installs, BMI-PMI empowers hospitals, clinics, and outpatient centers to bring advanced imaging to their patients—wherever those patients are.
It’s not just about moving equipment; it’s about making sure every community can access the same level of care, no matter the facility’s layout.
With decades of expertise and a proven record of success, BMI-PMI brings together engineering know-how, logistics planning, and a safety-first mindset to deliver results. Every project is unique, but our promise is the same: if you need CT or MRI installed, we’ll get it there.
