Frequently Asked Questions
How does the patented Rigging Tree™ Cradle eliminate rigging pinch points?
The Rigging Tree™ Cradle holds the sling’s master link or eye in an open, self-supporting saddle so the crane operator can lower the crane hook directly into the rigging and lift it clear—or set it back down—without a rigger manually wrestling heavy chain or wire rope onto the hook.
What steel is the Rigging Tree™ Cradle made from?
Each Rigging Tree™ Cradle is laser-cut from 1/4-inch thick hot-rolled A1018 Grade 50 steel and finished with a durable, high-visibility neon safety green powder coat.
What types of lifting slings can be stored on a Rigging Tree™ Cradle?
Rigging Tree™ Cradles accommodate multi-leg Grade 100 chain slings, wire rope bridles, nylon web slings, and endless polyester round slings.
Why does OSHA require off-the-floor storage for lifting slings?
Per OSHA 1910.184 and ASME B30.9, lifting slings must be stored off the floor in an area where they will not be run over by forklifts, exposed to moisture, weld spatter, or chemical damage, or kinked under loads.
