What does a rigger do?

To ensure that your site is safe and following legal procedure, riggers set up and repair rigging at a variety of work settings such as manufacturing plants, shipyards, logging yards, construction sites, and film sets. Riggers are responsible for aligning and anchoring the machinery, attaching loads, controlling the movement of heavy equipment, and ensuring the rigging is safe for use. In summary, a rigger can be described as an expert in tying up, balancing, manipulating and moving heavy loads using cranes, winches and pulleys to move materials and build structures. Therefore, they play a very important role.

What services do we provide?

Our riggers can perform a variety of rigging work for you based on your bespoke requirements in a timely and cost-effective manner that minimises disruption to your workplace activities. The rigger knows how to attach cables or ropes to the load, including tying the correct hitches, and the load they can support safely. As part of this, riggers can recognize any hazards associated with a lifting and moving job. Additionally, riggers can work out where the centre of gravity needs to be on a load to keep everything stable, communicating this to other members of the crew.

Riggers can use different types of rigging equipment such as slings, shackles, chokers and winches, safely moving heavy equipment through confined spaces. This can involve tilting, dipping or turning suspended loads to avoid obstacles or hazards such as overhead power lines. After they are used, our riggers can dismantle, clean and store rigging equipment after use, complying with all regulations and safety requirements so you can count on us to perform rigging work safely and responsibly?

By estimating the size and weight of objects to be moved, our riggers can help you to decide on appropriate equipment to be used on your site. They are also highly skilled at erecting cranes, mobile crane booms and adjusting the height of tower cranes, as well as lifting, positioning and bolting components to build up scaffolding, attaching sling equipment to load to be lifted.

Following workplace Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) procedures, our riggers can install and operate cables, ropes, pulleys, winches and other lifting tackle, as well as inspecting, maintaining and repairing equipment.

As well as this, our riggers can lift and erect prefabricated panels made of steel, glass or concrete, as well as erecting structural steel on buildings under construction.
