X-RIGGING RING AND SLINGS
The uses for rigging applications are many. Redirect, fair lead, speedline, you name it. The pos- sibilities are as varied as the gals and guys removing trees!
Through the use of strategically placed X-Rigging rings, riggers aloft can devise rigging systems that work with the tree’s natural strength and structure. Rope and rope angles can be man- aged in and around the tree, in and out of blocks and other rig- ging points. Weak points can be strengthened or avoided. Loads can be placed in compression on the tree, and trees can be re- moved safely and effectively.
MULTIPLE-RING CONFIGURATIONS
Here’s where splicers get to show off their creative skills. The multiple-ring configurations are works of art. The benefits of multiple rings is that you can combine the rings to give your- self a primary rigging point. A single ring does not give you enough bend radius for a primary rigging point, but two or more rings do. This page shows some of the current slings available, but we are working on more, so check our website often to see the latest creations.
SINGLE-RING CONFIGURATIONS
Single ring configurations should only be used as redirects in a system, be- cause a single ring does not provide enough of a bend radius to be used as a primary rigging point when dealing with significant weight.
