In our offshore lifting operations, we use several types of crane rigging equipment to ensure safe and stable handling of heavy loads. The most common ones include wire rope slings, chain slings, synthetic slings, shackles, and lifting hooks. We also rely on spreader beams and lifting frames when we need to distribute weight evenly or lift oversized equipment.
Each piece of rigging plays an important role—whether it’s securing the load, balancing it, or connecting it safely to the crane. Using the right combination helps us maintain safety, prevent equipment damage, and carry out offshore lifts smoothly and efficiently.
What else can I help you with?
What is the starting pay for oilers on offshore jobs?
About 30,000 pounds. You need at least 2 years rigging experience to get a level 3 rigging operations certificate. Once you have that you get 40,000 and over.
Where can rigging equipment be bought?
You can purchase rigging equipment online from the Rigging Warehouse website. Alternatively, you can purchase rigging equipment online from the Hanes Supply website.

What do you call rigging support?
Rigging support refers to the equipment and materials used to stabilize, secure, and maintain the position of rigging systems, such as ropes, cables, or chains, during lifting or moving operations. This support can include items like slings, harnesses, and structural frameworks that ensure safety and efficiency in various applications, including construction, theater productions, and aerial performances. Proper rigging support is crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring the integrity of the load being handled.
How can rigging knots be used effectively for lifting heavy objects?
Rigging knots can be used effectively for lifting heavy objects by providing a secure and stable connection between the object and the lifting equipment. By using the right type of knot and ensuring it is tied correctly, the load can be distributed evenly and safely, reducing the risk of accidents or damage. This allows for efficient and controlled lifting of heavy objects.
How do you calculate lifting equipment?
To calculate lifting equipment, you need to determine the total weight of the load being lifted, including any rigging or attachments. Next, consider the equipment's lifting capacity, which is specified by the manufacturer. Ensure that the lifting equipment is suitable for the load type and consider safety factors, such as the environment and any additional stresses. Finally, follow relevant regulations and guidelines to ensure safe operation and compliance.
What is side loading rigging gear is?
Side loading rigging gear refers to equipment designed to handle loads that are applied from the side rather than directly overhead. This type of rigging is often used in scenarios where traditional lifting methods are impractical, allowing for safe and efficient movement of materials. Common components include slings, shackles, and pulleys that are specifically rated for side loading applications. Proper use and adherence to safety standards are crucial to prevent equipment failure and ensure safe operations.
What does 10 k DPL on a ring mean?
"10 k DPL on a ring" typically refers to a measurement of the ring's diameter or size, specifically indicating a 10,000 DPL (Danish Pound Lifting) rating. In the context of lifting equipment or rigging, this signifies the maximum load the ring can safely handle, which is 10,000 pounds. It's crucial to adhere to this rating to ensure safety during lifting operations.
What is opito rigger course?
The OPITO Rigger Course is a training program designed for individuals seeking to work as riggers in the oil and gas, maritime, and construction industries. It focuses on the safe handling and movement of loads using various lifting equipment and techniques. Participants learn about rigging equipment, safety protocols, and best practices to ensure safe lifting operations. The course typically culminates in practical assessments and theoretical evaluations to ensure competency.
Rigging attachments and fittings serve what function in a lift?
Rigging attachments and fittings are essential components in a lift system as they provide secure connections between the lifting equipment and the load being lifted. They ensure stability and safety during the lifting process by distributing weight evenly and minimizing the risk of slippage or failure. Properly designed rigging also facilitates efficient handling and maneuverability of loads, contributing to overall operational effectiveness.
Why did they name block and tackle the name it's named?
The term "block and tackle" derives from the components used in this mechanical system. The "block" refers to the pulley or housing that contains the rope, while the "tackle" refers to the ropes and other equipment used to create a mechanical advantage for lifting or moving heavy loads. This naming convention reflects the practical function of these components in rigging and lifting operations.
What is rigging equipment?
Rigging equipment is anything used to suspend objects safely overhead. Some common equipment pieces are shackles, d-rings, spansets, steel cable, eyelets, comealongs, chain motors, and karibiners. Personal rigging equipment may include chalk, rigging rope, sphincter bag, c-wrench and multi-tools. Safety rigging equipment may include harnesses, nets, cable safeties, and fall arrests.
