Inspecting Civil Rigging – Keys to Safety Inspecting civil rigging should be something every rigger nows how to do. They also need to be able to check their equipment with
After a rigger determines the weight of a load, the next critical step in planning a safe and successful lift is determining the centre of gravity (COG). If the COG is not directly below the hook, the result will be an unstable…
Determining Weight for Civil Rigging One of the rigger’s most important tasks is determining weight for civil rigging, specifically the weight of the load. This is the first critical step
