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

One of the best comprehensive construction site books I have read - and I have read a lot! The title is misleading - so much more than Rigging is included. If you are looking for a good all around resource - I recommend this one.

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.

Great reference source

Nice book!
