The role of a rigger is to ensure that the mechanical device to lift heavy loads is safe and secure. Rigging is a technical trade that requires care, precision and patience. Coupled with knowledge and experience, a rigger relies on quality rigging equipment to successfully create a mechanical apparatus to lift heavy loads with the aid of a crane, hoist or other lifting device. It is important to invest in quality rigging lifting equipment so that the work can be completed perfectly, safely, on time and with no complications.

Employers must have a qualified rigger if they are going to be hoisting objects for assembly, disassembly, or hook or unhook loads. Total Equipment Training offers OSHA-qualified rigging certification training for your business so you can be sure you are complying with guidelines and keeping employees safe. Keep reading for some of the information covered in a Total Equipment Training rigging certification course.

When it comes to lifting & rigging the equipment that you choose is important. Our full line of lifting & rigging equipment offers the solutions you need no matter what the job requires.

Are you planning to take up a large-scale building project or heavy lifting job? Consider bringing on a crane to help move and handle heavy loads. Cranes have advanced over the years and emerged as an invaluable asset in projects or worksites that involve heavy hauling. Without these versatile, sturdy machines, the construction of modern marvels like high-rises, skyscrapers, and bridges would be next to impossible.

Rigging equipment is a set of tools used to hold and distribute heavy loads in the moving process. It securely connects the load to the lifting machines to move objects from one point to another. Industries such as construction, manufacturing, transportation, and event staging often utilize rigging equipment for their operations.

When you are moving heavy equipment, there are many things that must be considered. One such consideration is which types of rigging equipment to use. There are many different types of rigging equipment that can be used to move heavy equipment, and which type is needed depends on your specific job. Every rigging job is different, so extensive knowledge of rigging tools and practices is a must. Here is a list of some of the most important and most frequently used rigging equipment.

Handle professional marine and boating applications as well as standard vehicle towing and recovery using our lifting and rigging equipment. You can make reliable connections for short-distance loads with snatch blocks rated for vehicles from 2 to 15 tons, which have spring-loaded latch kits and screw pins to let you rig wire rope easily, while our anchor shackles and heavy-duty web shackles help you safely distribute the load weight. Our bronze-bushed item lets you connect D-rings, banjo eyes and side rails to another piece of chain.

Rigging equipment encompasses a variety of tools and resources that work together to create safe, durable rigging systems for a variety of different industrial jobs. Rigging systems are a method of securing cargo, lifting cargo, and unloading cargo in the course of long-distance transportation or hauling.The specifics of a rigging system depend on the nature of the cargo (weight, size, fragility, etc.), the height of the truck or barge, and environmental factors.

Rigging and lifting hooks for cranes, hoists and slings are an essential part of almost any rigging application. Choosing the correct rigging hook for your lifting application is just as important as choosing the correct sling or hoist. Lifting hooks come in a huge variety of designs, materials and sizes, all suited for different lifting applications. Some of the most popular types of hooks used in the rigging and lifting industry are:

When rigging and lifting a load, it is important the hook is correctly positioned where the weight of the object listed is applied in the bowl or saddle of the hook. Side, back and or tip loading are conditions that reduce the hook's lifting capacity and can cause damage to the hook (see illustration below).

Rigging hooks are load lifting, towing, or other heavy-duty application rigging accessories, they are available with a variety of end connectors, to the fast and easy attachment for rigging applications with a different design, strength, and capacity.

Many rigging industries face the challenge of safely moving heavy objects. For some, it’s as simple as stacking products on a shipping pallet and carrying them with a forklift. For others, heavy and irregularly shaped objects have to be lifted and moved over significant vertical and horizontal distances by specialized equipment, including cranes and hoists. They use various rigging and lifting hardware to facilitate efficient and, most importantly, safe overhead lifting.

In the dynamic realm of construction, it's not just bricks and beams that hold everything together. Rigging and machines shape every project. These practices involve the intricate coordination between lifting, positioning and relocating heavy machinery and equipment.

One of the most essential tasks a crane operator will be responsible for is the lifting and rigging of different materials. These materials need to be lifted off the ground and raised to different elevations based on the type of project. It is vital the operator understand the basics of crane rigging and how lifting materials at different angles will have a direct impact on the type of crane and rigging equipment required.This extends beyond knowing how to connect rigging to the crane. The operator must be fully aware of how the crane functions, its maximum load limits, and other such factors. The crane itself must also be in proper working order without any defects. Otherwise, if there is a lack of operator skill or equipment performance, it can lead to serious, costly, and dangerous accidents.

The term “Lifting” refers to the activity of moving heavy loads, usually above ground level, using any type of equipment, including manpower and lifting devices such as cranes, derricks, hoists, and other similar devices to support the weight being moved. The term “Rigging” refers to the method or methods of attaching a load to lifting equipment (rope lines, tie-downs, etc.) or the process of attaching a load to a crane for lifting. The rigging process also includes preparing the load (or rig) for movement, typically by securing the load to the hook of the lift line, or to some form of rigging structure that provides support and positioning while the load is lifted into position and during transportation to its destination, where it may be released or unloaded from the rigging system and placed on another piece of equipment, vehicle, container, or storage unit to move to its new location or destination after having been lifted by the rigging system.When the loading is done on land, in a port or dock, the load will usually have to travel a distance from the place where the load was loaded onto a truck or other vehicle to the place where the load will be removed from the truck or vehicle, usually at another dock or warehouse facility.
