Rigger Definitions
The first section of our Basic Rigger and Signal Person Safety Course is an
introduction into the terminology that applies to rigging tasks and jobs. If you
do not already have a knowledge of the basic terms, then you will struggle in
your job responsibilities. Some of the most common basic terms that you will
learn are:
Slings – Slings are used to connect the load to the crane. They are made to
perform various kinds of particular loading operations. The leg is the part of a
sling that extends. Slings should be examined to ensure they will perform
correctly before being used.
Center of gravity – The point in the load around which the weight is equally
distributed in all directions is known as the center of gravity, or COG. The
COG is, in other words, the point at which a load balances. This indicates that
a load won’t tilt in any direction if it is picked up directly above the center of
gravity.
Load control – When a load is lifted, its stability is referred to as load control.
If the load doesn’t move while you’re lifting it, you have good load control. On
the other hand, if the load can shift and move, your load control is poor.
Capacity – The maximum weight or force that a material can support before
failing is referred to as its capacity. Failure of a material may result in injuries
or even death.
