Rigging Checks Before the Load Leaves the Ground

Rigging connects the lifting equipment to the load. A small defect, incorrect sling angle, or unsuitable lifting point can affect the stability of the entire operation.

Practical safety checks

  • Match every sling, shackle, and hook to the planned load.
  • Inspect identification tags, wear, deformation, and damage.
  • Protect slings where they contact sharp edges.
  • Confirm lifting points and sling angles before tensioning.
  • Conduct a controlled trial lift and check load balance.

Rigging should be verified before lifting higher, not corrected after the load is already suspended.

GIGAMACH SDN BHD supports machine relocation, heavy lifting, rigging, gantry lifting, hydraulic jacking, and industrial equipment positioning with a practical safety-first approach.
