Crane Assembly & Disassembly Director - What is that?

Over the last 5 year we have been introduced to the idea of having “directors” involved in the crane and rigging world. To some extent, we have always had them by virtue of other titles such as lift foreman, hoisting supervisor, crane and rigging superintendent and the like. In the development of new OSHA regulations and ASME standards, we are seeing these roles unfold with more definition and a clearer outline of responsibilities.

Synthetic Slings vs. Harsh Hooks

Synthetic Slings vs. Harsh Hooks

A variety of industries use synthetic slings to move equipment and product on a daily basis. Like most other sling types, synthetic web slings and synthetic roundslings serve to help provide acceptable rigging methods for load handling. In the same locations, loads may be rigged using steel slings made from wire rope and alloy chain. Spreader bars and lifting beams get used on certain loads to help avoid sling-to-load contact, and increase sling angles thereby lessening the individual sling tensions.
