Rigging in construction can mean two different things; the term “rigging” can refer to the act of setting equipment and materials up to be lifted, and it can also be the term used to define the apparatus by which something is lifted. Rigging is used on most construction sites to move and place materials and the rigging process can be customized according to the needs of each site. Because rigging involves the lifting and moving of heavy objects, it is always best to enlist the assistance of an experienced rigging professional to avoid incidents. A rigging professional will know exactly what equipment needs to be used and the best procedures for executing a lift.
