This book provided me with a better understanding of how to recognize potential problems with rigging. I have purchased several copies of this book for all our employees to help them perform safer lifts by learning more about the slings and hardware that they are using.
The illustrations are very understandable and compelling. Explanations are simple and the reader won't require special knowledge of math or physics to understand the material.

This booklet has the basic information needed for products and proper rigging methods for lifting materials with cranes, derricks, etc. US units are used. The booklet is simple to use with diagrams and can be understood by foreman and superintendents with a basic education. It covers wire rope, wire rope slings, nylon slings, chain, mesh slings, and hardware. It has also has formulas, examples, references, and standards. The basic rules are covered to keep you out of trouble. It is also small enough to carry around.

Excellent source for the novice or even the journeyman rigger. Compact and portable reference with easily readable text and explanations.

I always have this book with me in the field. Information about many daily situations of rigging.

Many good exemples. Code (ASME) references for almost all formulas and tips. Dos and Don'ts. I learned a lot with it.

Maybe I was expecting too much?

This book gives spec's on equipment. You can get that information when you buy the item.

I was looking for information on rigging. This book is very sparse on that.

I returned the book.

The book seems jam packed with information and reference material for rigging. only downside is the pages aren't laminated, only the covers (soft covers, pocket size book). Living in a humid place like New Orleans with tropical downpours happening every day in the summer time, a fully laminated booklet would be better.

This handbook is designed to find the information that you need quickly. It explains the correct and incorrect way to rig and attach harnesses
