Rigging work

With the development of technology, not only the world around us changes, but also the interaction with it. This is manifested in all spheres of human activity. Methods of transporting various goods have not bypassed progress. Although the basic principles of rigging were developed many centuries ago, modern equipment requires special skills and knowledge from its operator.

Modern rigging work is a set of activities for lifting, moving and installing large equipment weighing more than a thousand kilograms. Such equipment includes special equipment, industrial equipment, parts of boats, aircraft, etc.

Rigging differs from normal load moving in that the rigging process requires specialized equipment, not just brute force.

Rigging services

Rigging services in Kyiv are offered by many companies. But not all of them use sufficiently high-quality and certified equipment when transporting cargo. It is necessary to carefully select a company that will provide rigging services, because not only the safety of the cargo, but also the health of the riggers depends on this.

The contract for the provision of rigging services, which is concluded between the customer and the contractor, must stipulate that the contractor guarantees the safety of the cargo and personnel. Having an agreement with an insurance company will protect you from unforeseen circumstances.

What equipment is needed to provide rigging services?

Depending on what kind of rigging work you need to perform, the rigging equipment differs. A wide range of different lifting devices and fastening devices are used in rigging.

Simple rigging involves moving light weight cargo (safes, medical equipment, ATMs) and requires the use of small tools, dollies and cables.

More complex equipment is used when performing rigging work to move machine tools and other industrial equipment. In such cases, sophisticated fastening equipment and vehicles are required.

The customer needs to make sure that the riggers are conscientious. One way to ensure the professionalism of the contractor is to check the certification for rigging equipment. Today, all equipment used for rigging is tested before being released for sale. For example, at the Stan-komplekt company, all slings are manufactured in accordance with standards (NPAOP 0.00-1.01-07, DSTU B V.2.8-10-98) and have the appropriate documentation in accordance with the EU directive. The same applies to other equipment that our company offers in Kyiv. Riggers who cooperate with us care about the safety of their workers and clients. The Stan-komplekt company provides support and maintenance of equipment that can be purchased in our store.

What should the performing company do before performing rigging work?

Any company that takes responsibility for the work will send its specialist to familiarize itself with the work site to draw up a plan. It is extremely important to provide the specialist with access to everything he will need for his work.

Before moving the cargo, an important stage begins - packaging. Proper securing of all elements ensures their safety during transportation.

Moving the cargo itself may require the use of special equipment. The rigging company must agree in advance on the timing with the customer in order to properly plan the work schedule.

Rigging work is not only the dismantling and movement of cargo, but also its reassembly into working condition. If the cargo has already been delivered to you in advance, you can arrange with the rigging company to install it.
