Rigging works are a set of operations aimed at lifting various loads for the purpose of loading or unloading them.
When loads of non-standard dimensions or considerable weight have to be loaded or unloaded, such work cannot be done by hand.
This requires special equipment, as well as specialists able to operate complex machinery.
The set of operations performed in this case is called rigging works, which differ from ordinary loading and unloading by their greater complexity and degree of mechanisation.
When transporting equipment, the loading and unloading stages are the most critical, as this is where damage most often occurs. Sintez TMK offers rigging services of any complexity, regardless of the volume and dimensions of the load.
We perform a range of works:
- We load the cargo onto the vehicle and unload it at the site.
- If the load is not secured properly, the likelihood of damage increases several times over. Our riggers ensure reliable fastening tailored to the specifics of each particular load.
- Moving equipment within a building or workshop is no problem for us.
We work with any loads. Our track record includes rigging of oversized metal structures, installation of production equipment weighing 300 tonnes, and handling of large vessels and air ducts. Each case requires a special approach that ensures the successful moving of items with the least labour input at an optimal price.
Rigging is not just a loaders’ service. If you need professionals who guarantee the integrity and safety of items during loading, Sintez TMK can offer the most effective options. Highly qualified workers with all the necessary licences and permits, accurate calculation and planning of every operation, and a range of lifting machines, fixtures and mechanisms ensure success in any conditions — whether in a cramped workshop with machines operating all around, or at an open site far from the city.
Depending on the complexity of the work, the necessary fixtures will be selected, allowing careful handling of items for which appearance is especially important.
A distinctive feature of the company is its ability to solve complex tasks comprehensively. Rigging works may be required in addition to equipment installation and transportation services. We offer the full range of services, so coordinating work across the various stages is easier, with no risk of downtime or delays in individual operations.
Rigging works are usually carried out in the cramped conditions of operating production workshops, using mobile crane equipment and gantry hoists.
Rigging works are indispensable for a number of operations:
- Loading, moving and unloading large items;
- Handling heavy loads that cannot be lifted by hand;
- Moving items of complex configuration that make a loader's job difficult;
- Assisting with installation works to ease the placement of bulky, heavy parts or already assembled units;
- Moving machine tools, workbenches, safes, ATMs and industrial equipment that require special care and protection;
- Providing services during a move or when purchasing heavy furniture, pianos or large household appliances.
Carrying out rigging works requires special training of workers, as it often involves complex equipment and is performed in the confined space of workshops, narrow stairwells and corridors.
In addition, rigging may be performed at production sites where other operations are under way, which calls for special care and compliance with established occupational safety rules.
Slinging and rigging works are carried out in accordance with the construction organisation plan (POS), the work execution plan (PPR), and process maps or process diagrams.
Rigging works are governed by the following regulatory documents:
GOST 12.3.009-76 “OSSS. Loading and unloading works. General safety requirements”
