Operating instructions for your slings
To help you being on the safe side when slinging loads, we have compiled some application instructions for slings and lifting gear.
Slinging of loads
- Does the safety catch of the load hook move properly?
- The safety catch of the hook must lock!
- Report any defect to the crane operator/supervisor
Can the material be transported in this state using the crane (intact packaging, stable wooden pallet, no loose parts)?
Sling chains, belts or ropes tightly around the material to be transported, so that the load will not be shifted when lifted.
- Signal to crane operator “slowly lift” by hand
- Supervise the lifting operation from short and safe distance
- If the load tilts over or if attachment points shift: signal “Stop” by hand
- Never correct floating load by hand!
- Is the sling gear undamaged (no cracks, cuts, crushes, noses)?
- Can the load be transported using the selected sling gear?
- Where to attach the sling gear at the material to be transported?
- The material to be transported must be transported in balanced position. Take the center of gravity of the load into account!
- Safe hold
- Alternative places, if the load tends to make uncontrolled movements
- Eye contact to the crane operator
- No danger of falling down and being trapped
- If the load floats narrowly above the floor, check whether: the load is suspended balanced and the attachment points remain stable?
- If yes: Signal “Lift” by hand
- Leave the swivel range of the crane
- Never stay below the floating load
Sling gear and lifting gear from our web shop

Our product range definitely offers the slings or lifting gear suitable for your specific purpose.
Advice on safe slinging with chain slings
The shortened load-bearing chain leg suspended in the shortening clutch must leave the shortening clutch downward in the alignment. If the load-bearing leg leaves the shortening clutch upward, the chain sling and the clutch will be overstressed, which will result in the lifting chain tearing or the clutch breaking off.
Chains should be only loaded in straight, untwisted and unknotted condition. Select the attachment points so that the end fittings, the chain links and the suspension links are not exposed to bending stresses.
Overly strong patting will once again reduce the natural stop angle of about 120°, which will lead to an unnecessary additional stress of the sling gear or lifting gear.
Stresses induced by sudden lifting or falling of loads will overload end fittings or single legs of the sling gear due to the strong forces of acceleration, which in extreme cases will result in deformations or tearing of the leg.
For lifting loads in narrow places, slingers should attach a fiber rope or a stable string functioning as a “drawstring” at one end or both ends of the load in order to control the lateral movement of the load.
Before lifting a load, slinger and crane operator should agree on a signal code for mutual understanding which also allows for quickly carrying out the proper maneuver in emergencies.
The load should always be put down on a place prepared with mats and never directly on the lifting device (damaging); this allows for the quick and easy removal of the sling gear.
To prevent unused chain legs from getting caught or jammed somewhere during the lifting operation, they should be hooked or tied back into the suspension link. Unused chain suspensions hanging in the crane hook should always be hooked back.

Where is Rigging Equipment Used?
Rigging equipment is used in a variety of industries, from construction to logistics. The choice of the right rigging equipment depends on factors such as load capacity, the nature of the load, and the environmental conditions.
For example, rigging chains and ropes are often used in heavy-load areas, while round slings and lifting straps are preferred for sensitive loads due to their flexibility and light weight. Crane chains are used when heavy loads need to be lifted, while lifting belts and lashing straps are ideal for load securing.
Special rigging ropes, wire rope assemblies, and wire rope slings are also used to move loads safely. The correct selection and application of rigging equipment significantly contribute to the safety and efficiency of your lifting projects.
Safe Use of Rigging Equipment
The safe use of rigging equipment is crucial to prevent accidents and damage. It is essential that rigging equipment is regularly inspected and properly maintained to ensure full functionality.
Correct labeling and compliance with regulations, such as those from DGUV, are of utmost importance. Hooks, crane hooks, and shackles should be regularly checked for wear and damage to ensure safety. At BRUGG Lifting, we place a special emphasis on safety and offer extensive training to ensure that your employees are well-informed and educated in handling rigging equipment.
With proper application and regular inspections, rigging equipment can achieve its full lifespan, contributing to operational facilities that are always ready for use.
What are Rigging Equipment?
Rigging equipment are special load handling devices used in conjunction with lifting devices such as cranes and hoists to safely lift and transport loads. The most common rigging equipment includes ropes, chains, lifting straps, round slings, shackles, and chain assemblies.
BRUGG Lifting offers a large assortment of rigging equipment that meets the strict requirements of lifting technology and impresses with its high load capacity. Thanks to their robust construction, they are also suitable for use in harsh environments and offer a long service life. Discover our range of lifting devices and find the right rigging equipment for your needs.
Regulations for Rigging Equipment
The use of rigging equipment is subject to strict regulations and standards that ensure they meet the required safety standards. These standards define, among other things, the permissible load capacity, required labeling, and inspection intervals. A key part of these regulations is the regular inspection of rigging equipment for damage and signs of wear to ensure their readiness for use.
It is important that rigging equipment such as wire end connections, chain diameters, and chain links comply with current standards and are regularly checked. At BRUGG Lifting, we ensure that all our rigging equipment meets applicable standards and provide you with comprehensive information on proper application and maintenance.

Regular inspection of rigging equipment is crucial to ensure safety and functionality in operation. At BRUGG Lifting, we offer comprehensive inspection services performed by experienced experts. Our inspections include damage inspection, load capacity evaluation, and marking checks. Rigging equipment is not only visually inspected but also mechanically tested to ensure compliance with the highest safety standards.
After the inspection, you will receive detailed documentation of the results and recommendations for further use or retirement of the rigging equipment. Trust our expertise and have your rigging equipment regularly inspected to ensure safe operation.
Material, Construction, and Load Capacity of Rigging Equipment
Rigging equipment is made from various materials, each offering specific advantages. Steel ropes and rigging chains are preferred for heavy loads and harsh environments due to their high load capacity and durability. Textile round slings and lifting straps, on the other hand, are light and flexible, making them ideal for use with sensitive surfaces. The construction of rigging equipment is crucial for its performance: for example, chain links and chain diameters are precisely calculated to ensure maximum safety. Special attention is also given to rope end connections and hardware components, which significantly contribute to safety.
