    Frequently Asked
    Questions

    Rigging equipment consists of the auxiliary components used to secure and control loads, such as slings, shackles, and wire ropes. Lifting equipment refers to the primary machinery that performs the actual lifting operation, including cranes, hoists, and lifting frames. While both work together in lifting operations, they serve distinct purposes:

    Rigging Equipment:

    • Connects the load to the lifting device.
    • Provides load security and control.
    • Includes auxiliary hardware and attachments.
    • Ensures proper load distribution.

    Lifting Equipment:

    • Performs the primary lifting function.
    • Provides the mechanical advantage.
    • Includes powered machinery.
    • Handles the main load-bearing operations.

    What equipment is used for rigging?

    • Slings, shackles, turnbuckles, and wire rope assemblies.
    • Below-the-hook devices like lifting beams and clamps.

    While crane operators often possess basic rigging knowledge, professional lifting operations typically require dedicated roles:

    Crane Operator Responsibilities:

    • Operating the crane safely.
    • Following signal person directions.
    • Understanding basic rigging principles.
    • Maintaining crane control.

    Professional Rigger Requirements:

    • Rigging certification.
    • In-depth knowledge of lifting gear.
    • Experience with complex configurations.
    • Understanding of load dynamics.

    For optimal safety and efficiency, PSG recommends using dedicated certified riggers for complex lifting operations, even when crane operators have rigging experience.

    The three main categories of rigging equipment are:

    1. Load Attachment Equipment:
      • Slings (wire rope, chain, synthetic).
      • Hooks and shackles.
      • Eye bolts and hoist rings.
      • Lifting points.
    2. Below-the-Hook Devices:
      • Spreader beams.
      • Lifting beams.
      • Plate clamps.
      • Specialised frames.
    3. Connection and Control Hardware:
      • Turnbuckles and links.
      • Master links.
      • Swivels.
      • Load binders.

    We offer:

    • Heavy Lifting Equipment: Spreader beams, lifting beams, and container handling frames.
    • Rigging Hardware: Shackles, wire ropes, and chain assemblies.

    Support Equipment: Lighting towers, fuel bowsers, and timber mats.
