Evaluate the weight, size, and shape of the load to ensure the equipment’s capacity matches. Check for environmental factors like temperature or corrosion that may affect performance. Always prioritize equipment rated for the specific task.
Choose equipment meeting industry standards (e.g., ASME, OSHA) for safety and reliability. Inspect certifications and ensure compliance with local regulations. Confirm the equipment’s maintenance history and condition to avoid failures during operation.
Select equipment suited for the job, such as slings for flexible loads or cranes for heavy lifting. Account for environmental conditions like wet or dusty settings, and ensure proper training for operators.
Lifting equipment, like cranes or hoists, is machinery designed to raise or lower heavy loads vertically, providing power and stability for material handling. Rigging equipment, such as slings, shackles, or ropes, connects loads to lifting devices, ensuring secure attachment and load control. While lifting equipment provides the mechanical force, rigging equipment ensures safe load manipulation. Below is a comparison:
| Aspect | Lifting Equipment | Rigging Equipment |
| Examples | Cranes, forklifts, hoists | Slings, shackles, wire ropes |
| Key Feature | Provides lifting force and movement | Ensures load attachment and balance |
| Purpose | Raises/lowers loads using mechanical power | Secures and stabilizes loads for lifting |
Both are critical for safe operations, with lifting equipment handling the heavy work and rigging ensuring proper load management. Always select based on load weight, environment, and safety standards.
