Rigging and Lifting

• Use of lines or cables to lift and move materials by


hoisting with a crane
• Rigger?

Daily / Period Inspection


• A thorough periodic inspection of slings performed by
a competent person
• Includes a thorough inspection for:
Wear, Deformation, Elongation, Cuts, Corrosion, Heat
damage, Hardware (Hooks for wear and distortion)
Sling Angle Factor (Load Angle Factor)
The sling angle factor is a multiplier used to determine
the required sling size. Avoid rigging loads where angle
is less than 45°
Load on each sling =
Sling angle factor x Load / Number of slings
500 LBS

90 60° 45° 30°

Problem: A container filled with seawater is to be hoisted
using two slings with 45 degree. Dimensions of the
container are: height 2ft, width 3ft and length 4ft. The
weight of empty container is 10lbs. Density of seawater is
1025kg/m3. Determine the load on each of the sling legs.
Load Stability
• Center of gravity is important
• Center the lift above the center of gravity
For Unequal Legs
Load on sling 1 = Load x L1 x D2/[H(D1+D2)]
Load on sling 2 = Load x L2 x D1/[H(D1+D2)]
L1 is the length of sling 1,
L2 is the length of sling 2,
D1 is the horizontal distance
L2
from the center of gravity to L1 Sling 2
sling 1, Sling 1 H
53.1O 29.75o
D2 is the horizontal distance
from the center of gravity to CG
sling 2 and
H is the vertical distance
D1 D2
from the hook to the surface
of the load.
Problem: A load of 1000 lb needs to be hoisted
using two slings. The sling angle for sling 1 is 49o
and that for sling 2 is less than that for sling 1.
The length of this object from its center of gravity
to one end is 3 ft and that to the other end is 7 ft.
The total length of two slings is 13.05 ft. Find the
load on each sling.
