Chapter 5 Rigging
Chapter 5 Rigging
A load lifted outside its center of gravity will shift to create excess side stress on one sling.
Chapter 5 Rigging
A load may be unstable and subject to topping if lifting equipment is placed below the horizontal weight center of the load.
Chapter 5 Rigging
Stock material weight tables list the weight of materials by ft, sq ft, or cu ft.

Main sling components include wire rope, fiber rope, chain, webbing, and round sling.
Chapter 5 Rigging
Other sling components include rigging hardware attachments such as clips, hooks, eyebolts, shackles, sockets, wedge sockets, triangle choker fittings, and master links.

Chapter 5 Rigging
Tension increases and load capacity decreases as sling legs widen and sling angles are reduced.
Chapter 5 Rigging
Fiber rope is constructed by twisting fibers into yarn, yarn into strands, and strands into rope. Wire rope is constructed by twisting wires into strands around a wire core.
Chapter 5 Rigging
The diameter of wire rope is determined by the largest possible outside dimension.
Chapter 5 Rigging
Chapter 5 Rigging
Rope bending efficiency rating increases as the diameter of the pulley increases.
Chapter 5 Rigging
The most common wire ropes used for basic rigging are filler wire, Warrington, Seale, and Warrington-Seale.
Chapter 5 Rigging
The strength of rope used for safely lifting a load is determined by its breaking strength.
Chapter 5 Rigging
Rated strength capacities of 6 19 wire rope are based on the rope diameter and sling.
Chapter 5 Rigging
Seizing is the wrapping placed around all strands of a rope near the area where the rope is cut.
Chapter 5 Rigging
Chapter 5 Rigging
Clip connections must be arranged, spaced, and assembled properly to maintain the strength of the rope.
Chapter 5 Rigging
Proper installation of a wedge socket has the live end of a rope in line with the socket.

Chapter 5 Rigging
Fiber rope is constructed by twisting fibers into yarn, yarn into strands, and strands into rope.
Chapter 5 Rigging
Most rope hitching and knotting terminology was derived from nautical (sailing) terms.
Chapter 5 Rigging
Whipping is tightly binding the end of a rope with twine before it is cut.

Chapter 5 Rigging
Crowning is a reverse strand splice that is used when an enlarged rope end is desired or not objectionable.

Half hitch and double hitch knots are not secure knots, but are the base formation of other knots.
Chapter 5 Rigging
A slip knot is a knot that slips along the rope from which it is made.
Chapter 5 Rigging
A bowline knot is a knot that forms a loop that is secure but is easy to release.
Chapter 5 Rigging
A wagoneers hitch knot is a knot that creates a loadsecuring loop from the standing part of the rope.
Chapter 5 Rigging
A timber hitch is a binding knot and hitch combination used to wrap and drag lengthy material.

Webbing is a fabric of hightenacity synthetic yarns woven into flat narrow straps.

Choker hitch load capacity is based on the angle of choke as the sling body passes through the choke eye.
Chapter 5 Rigging
The type of web sling selected and its use must be made with safety as the main consideration.
Chapter 5 Rigging
Round slings are slings consisting of one or more continuous polyester fiber yarns wound together to make a core.
Chapter 5 Rigging
Chain should be removed from service if the measurement of used chain exceeds 1 1/2% elongation from that of new chain.
Chapter 5 Rigging
Each chain, except for hoist apparatus chain, has a periodic embossing of a grade number or letter, indicating its capability.
Chapter 5 Rigging
Working load limits for slings using Grade 80 chain can be determined for a 90 vertical load or quad leg load up to 30 pull angle.
Chapter 5 Rigging
A shackle is a U-shaped metal link with the ends drilled to receive a pin or bolt.
Chapter 5 Rigging
A master link is a chain attachment with a ring considerably larger than that of the chain to allow for the intersection of a hook.
Chapter 5 Rigging
A hook is a curved or bent implement for holding, pulling, or connecting another implement.
Chapter 5 Rigging
Hoisting hooks used for rigging purposes include choker, grab, foundry, swivel, and sorting hooks.
Chapter 5 Rigging
A hoisting hook is a steel alloy hook used for overhead lifting and is connected directly to the piece being lifted.
Chapter 5 Rigging
Kinking, core protrusion, and bird caging may be encountered when inspecting a wire rope.
Chapter 5 Rigging
Fiber rope inspection is made to remove a rope from service before the ropes condition poses a hazard with continued operation.
Chapter 5 Rigging
Webbing should be inspected at least annually and round slings should be inspected monthly.
