How This Differs From Rigger Level II Certification
Here the employer stays in charge: the course supplies documented advanced rigging training that supports the company deciding who is qualified. No third-party certificate is issued. For exam preparation toward an accredited Level II credential, see the Rigger Level II certification course.
Advanced Topics Covered
Advanced load calculations
Weight estimates, center-of-gravity location and dividing the load among slings.
Complex lift rigging
Safe techniques for drifting a load sideways, rotating it and standing it upright.
Rigging plan development
Putting gear lists, angles, ratings and backup plans on paper.
Advanced hardware selection
When to use spreader bars, equalizer beams and specialty devices.
Supervision and communication
Running a rigging crew and staying in step with the operator.
Closing review
Consolidating Level II knowledge with a final check of understanding.
Typical Trainees
- Lead riggers
- Plant maintenance supervisors
- Heavy-haul and setting crews
- Shutdown and turnaround teams
What this course documents
Completion produces a certificate for your training file, supporting your own qualified-rigger determination. It is not an accredited certification. If a client requires a Level II card, consider the certification prep course.
Outcomes for Your Crew
Plan multi-point lifts on paper first
Work out share-of-load for each leg
Select below-the-hook devices correctly
Coordinate clearly with the crane operator
