When we talk about crane rigging techniques there is much information to consider from the beginning and at AME we understand that rigging is an important part of all crane lifting operations and we are experts in every aspect of this type of job. So, we provide you with more details below, and remember to ask one of our team experts every question that comes to your mind.

At the moment we consider starting with a lifting project, there are many factors to consider in advance to make sure proper rigging gets done. We care about safety and security so we train our team in the most advanced techniques to guarantee success in every job we begin.

Key aspects to consider when we talk about crane rigging techniques.

• Capacity: every rigging sling has a maximum load capacity specified by the manufacturer. Also, there are different types of hitches that can affect the described capacity.

• Sling hitch: when determining how to rig a load, the type of load to be lifted can determine the kind of hitch needed.

• Edge protection: after having the accurate sling capacity and hitch, the process of lifting a load can be dangerous without correct edge protection. A sharp edge can cut into a sling and cause failures during the job or can end up damaged for future operations.    

And what about equipment?

There are many different types of equipment and machinery needed for crane rigging projects and at AME we are very proud to say we count on the best possible equipment in the market so we feel very confident in this matter.

Rigging hooks, pulleys and blocks, shackles, eye bolts, steel nuts, wire ropes, and synthetic lifting slings… among many others, are different types of rigging equipment that a professional should own by the moment of starting a new project.

And, as we always recommend, don’t take unnecessary risks, start with a plan to accomplish a good crane operation by identifying, addressing, and controlling all types of risks at any moment: prior, during, and after the lift, for your own safety, the team, the equipment and all people nearby the project.
