Industrial projects require a wide range of equipment and machinery for their success, where these tools can help workers to manoeuvre heavy loads without endangering their safety. Collectively, the tools used to move loads from one place to another are known as rigging equipment, which can be specialist to construction, manufacturing or transportation industries.
More specifically, rigging equipment can include anything from winches and mechanical hoists to pulleys, lifting slings and trolleys. This combination of tools means that industrial projects are easier and safer to handle, making it possible to tackle a variety of complex tasks.
Read on to find out more about some of the key categories of industrial rigging equipment you can source from Atlas.
Snatch Blocks
Snatch blocks are a specialist type of rigging equipment that can be used in order to redirect the course of a winch line via a pulley point, where this can make it easier to complete a variety of precision lifting tasks. We currently supply snatch blocks ranging from 2 tonnes to 250 tonnes.
Shackles
Professional rigging shackles are the primary connecting link that is used in most rigging systems, from marine winches to crane rigging. Primarily, they allow rigging equipment to be connected and disconnected quickly, where we offer a selection of safety bows, screw pins and D-shackles to our customers. All our shackles are designed with reliability in mind, so your crew can work safely no matter the task at hand.
Sling Lashing Equipment
Sling lashing equipment is a particularly useful piece of rigging hardware, as it allows multiple additional pieces of rigging to be attached to one harness point. We keep a large stock of standard size webbing and round slings, with bespoke 15 – 200 tonne round slings now available to hire.
Wire Rope
Wire rope is another intrinsic part of the rigging system, allowing heavy loads to be manoeuvred with ease. Our partner company Lifting Material Supplies currently stocks a selection of steel wire rope, ranging in length from 2mm to 76mm, with larger sizes available on request. They can also manufacture bespoke wire rope slings with their 300 tonne press.
