Rigging

Rigging equipment referrers to the devices and elements used to lift and move objects safely, as part of a planned system implemented by a team of riggers. This encompasses a variety of components which are used to secure and distribute the load in question, in order to facilitate the moving process and ensure that it is completed successfully.

Rigging comes from rig, to set up or prepare. Rigging is the equipment such as wire rope, turnbuckles, clevis, jacks used with cranes and other lifting equipment in material handling and structure relocation. Rigging systems commonly include chains, hooks, shackles, master links and slings.

Shackles

Shackles are available in a variety of styles and materials for virtually any rigging application.

Choose from Carbon, Alloy or Super Strong shackles in screw pin, bolt, nut & cotter, or round pin styles.

Load Binders

Load Binders are typically used to take up slack and apply tension to a
tie-down system. Designed primarily for use with graded chains, they
can also be used with cable, steel strap or fiber webbing to secure loads
in a variety of applications.
Load binders are available in two general configurations:
Lever-type (over the center) and Ratchet-type.
