Introduction






Rigging equipment is used in various industries
such as construction, maritime, entertainment,
and transportation. The type of rigging equipment
needed will depend on the specific application,
but here are some common types

Rigging Hooks






When big things need to be moved, rigging hooks
are used. These hooks are made to keep things
from slipping off. They are usually made of
steel. Different types and sizes of rigging hooks
can be used to lift different types of loads.
They are put into different groups based on the
size of the opening of the hook, also called the
throat. This hole can be anywhere from 5/8 of an
inch to 1 17/32 inches. Sorting, clevis grab,
eye, and choker hooks are some of the different
kinds of gear hooks.

Pulleys and Blocks






When very heavy things need to be moved, pulleys
and pulling blocks are used. These tools make it
easier to lift and move big things by reducing
how much force is needed. Lifting blocks come in
a few different styles, such as snatch blocks,
swivel blocks, square blocks, and tilt-up blocks.
Lifting blocks come in different sizes and can
carry up to 30 tones of weight. There are both
single and double pulley systems. They are used
to lift heavy items by wrapping rigging ropes
around the pulley and then hooking them to the
heavy object. Different pulleys have different
sizes of frame, rope, and sheaves. Wire rope is
often used with pulling blocks, while synthetic
rope is usually used with pulleys. This is
because lifting blocks usually carry higher loads
than pulleys, and wire rope is better at handling
these heavier loads.

Shackles

Shackles






Shackles are links that let different kinds of
rigging tools quickly connect to and separate
from each other. Most of the time, they are used
to move loads that weigh more than 6,000 pounds,
but they can carry as much as 11,000 pounds.
Anchor and chain shackles are the two main types
of shackles, but both of these types can also be
broken down into screw pin, safety, and round pin
types. Shackles are usually made of a loop of
steel that is closed with a pin. This makes it
possible to connect two pieces of heavy equipment
securely while moving them. Shackles come in many
different sizes, from 3/16 inch to 2 1/2 inches.

Eye Bolts

Eye Bolts






Eye bolts are used to loop wires or ropes
together and serve as anchor points in rigging.
They can be made of many different types of
materials and come in a wide range of sizes to
fit different types and sizes of loads. Most of
the time, people use straight eye bolts or
shoulder eye bolts. Shoulder eye bolts are used
for connections that are not in a straight line,
while straight eye bolts are used for straight
line connections. U-bolts, screw eye bolts, and
lag eye screw bolts are other kinds of eye bolts.

Steel Nuts

Steel Nuts






Stainless steel nuts are used along with eye
bolts. The size that should be used depends on
the weight of the load as well as its shape. Some
of the most frequently used nuts in rigging are
hex nuts, dome nuts, lifting eye nuts, ball ends,
and wing nuts. This type of rigging equipment is
usually made of type 316 stainless steel, and
these nuts can typically be found in both RH and
LH thread.

Wire Ropes and Accessories

Wire Ropes and Accessories






Wire ropes can be used to set up and move big
things. They are often made stronger by wrapping
them with several pieces of carbon steel wire or,
more often, stainless steel wire, usually in a
helix shape. Wire ropes can be kept safe from the
weather by being protected or galvanized. They
can be different sizes and have different specs.
Most people use 619, 636, 626, 77, and 719
wire bands. Some of the things that go with wire
bands are thimbles, clips, sleeves, and stops.
These extra pieces of rigging equipment make the
wire rope more useful for rigging jobs.

Synthetic Lifting Slings

Synthetic Lifting Slings






This kind of rigging gear is made from man-made
materials. Wire ropes and synthetic slings are
used to move heavy tools. There are two kinds
eye-and-eye slings and slings with no end.
Endless slings are just loops of synthetic
material, while eye-and-eye slings have metal or
synthetic ends that are triangular, flat, or
curved. These slings help keep rigging jobs
balanced and give heavy loads more power.
