Rigging advice.

[Valmet7]

Hi guys i am new to the site and was just wondering where would be good to find different videos/pics of rigging techniques.Ive been at a company for 6 years now and we use old school methods which are effective but im sure there are better ways with pulleys and other devices etc.

 

I;m always open to hearing new ways or tricks of the trade so just wanted to see what more experienced guys had to say.

 

Cheers:001_smile:

Reg Coates is a good place to start - you just need to be sure you get the English version of the clips!

The main criteria are that the equipment is fit for purpose and compatible with other components in the system such as the correct rope diameter for the lowering device so the bend radius is not compromised.

Anchoring cordage is important and should be over-specified where possible but I've also seen bigger rigging systems abused until even they fail due to over-loading and shock-loading.

Vectoring a load when lowering is an easy way to reduce component strain and improves the working life of all the kit used and, like Majestic says, there's a good bit of decent information available.

 

Good to see somebody interested in doing the job properly
