Rigging engineering calculations involve a series of mathematical computations to determine the forces, stresses, and loads involved in rigging operations. These calculations help to identify potential hazards and ensure that the rigging equipment and load are properly configured to prevent accidents. Some common types of rigging engineering calculations include:
Every lift plan begins with calculating the actual tension applied to the slings. When slings are used at an angle, the tension increases significantly due to horizontal forces. The Sling Angle Factor (SAF)
The starting point. You cannot rig what you haven’t weighed.
Many engineering universities host open-access course materials on structural mechanics and heavy lift logistics. Safety Warning
