When we talk about different types of rigging, at AME we divide this into two classes: standing, which supports the mast and bowsprit; and running, the one that controls the orientation of the sails and their degree of reefing.

Only an expert could determine the best solution for each case, and there are many aspects to consider and evaluate before deciding which option would be the best one to proceed with.

A crane rigging refers to the process to be followed to prepare your crane equipment for a safe lift and then execute the lift according to the needs and plan of the team. So, depending on the type of rigging configurations may differ in each case whether it is a fore-and-aft rigged vessel or a square-rigged vessel and our team is absolutely capable of recommending the best alternative for your project.

When we take a rigging project, you can be sure we take care of all details, at AME we only use appropriate mechanical shifting equipment and have a qualified team of experts to manage all machinery involved.  

The step by step

By the moment of beginning a crane rigging project there are some basic aspects to consider if you want to finish the project successfully:

·       Before starting make sure your crane is equipped to handle the load you are about to lift.

·       Make sure the right rigging equipment is being used to connect the load to the crane.

·       Plan and check all the angles are the right ones to use by the moment of lifting and moving the load.

·       Take into consideration the climatic conditions. Weather is a key aspect to consider when a crane rigging activity is being developed.

After having all this cleared up, make sure you contact one of our experts at AME to evaluate your project and recommend the best type of crane rigging for your specific case. Whether it is a standing or a running one, we will make sure it all is developed in the best conditions when it comes to safety, quality, and the support that you need.

Don’t leave your project in the hands of non-experts who may compromise the final results by not being trained enough for the job.  😊
