Rigging has become an important part of our industry as of late. Rigging has always been an important part of what we do, though not to the degree we see today. Putting a rig in the air used to be done by crunching numbers, using sophisticated formulas and knowledge of working loads. Today, we have a wide variety of load monitoring systems to determine the exact load a system is carrying. Most systems even offer the ability to provide warnings and automatic e-stops if something isn’t right.
