Handbook of Rigging: For Construction and Industrial Operations 5th Edition

Everything you wanted to know about rigging but were afraid to ask! Well written with helpful illustrations. I would recommend before anyone tries to sling a truss or long beam on their own. There is no substitute for education of safe practices.

This book is a nice review of existing hoisting technology, but anyone with a structural engineering education will prefer a more technical and thorough approach. Would like to see more information on wire rope types, wire rope inspection, rope stretching and creep, and cable analysis.

The book is somewhat hard to find, but it was in excellent condition and has been a terrific addition to our Rigging Library. I highly recommend it.

Nice book!

Great reference source
