Rigging
Hardware such as turnbuckles, hooks, master links, shackles, connecting links, swivels and so on which are used to connect the lifting equipment are called rigging. Many industries use rigging hardware every day to facilitate the movement of loads and materials.
The most significant feature of rigging is safety and their main purpose is to help reduce or eliminate accidents and injuries. Rigging if selected properly can make a big difference between a successful and safe lifting and a dangerous one which causes injury or property damage.
