WHAT IS RIGGING HARDWARE?

Many industries face the challenge of safely moving heavy objects. For some, it's simple. For others, they have to use specialized equipment to lift and move heavy and irregularly shaped objects. They use various rigging and lifting hardware, and then make efficient and safe overhead lifting.

Rigging hardware! It's like the backbone of any lifting or rigging operation. Rigging hardware refers to a variety of equipment used to secure and lift heavy objects, like shackles, hooks, slings, and so on. They come in different shapes and sizes, designed to handle different loads and configurations.

Now, let’s talk about the application of rigging hardware. The rigging hardware is used in many industries. Below you can see some common uses:

1. Lifting and hoisting: 

Connecting lifting devices such as cranes and hoists. By this, it provides the necessary strength and stability to handle heavy objects.

2. Securing loads:

Making sure it is safe loading during transportation or storage. In this way, this can involve using chains, straps, or cables to fasten items securely and prevent shifting or falling.

3. Suspension systems:

Suspending lighting equipment, sound systems, and stage props in theater productions, concerts or other event. It ensures that these items are securely hung and can be safely operated.

4. Wire rope assemblies:

Creating wire rope assemblies for various applications, such as overhead cranes, winches, and tow lines.

There are some factors affecting the application and selection of rigging hardware. For example, the weight of the load, the working conditions and safety requirements. Proper training and adherence to industry standards are essential for the safe and effective use of rigging hardware.
