About

Rigging App

Features
Read full description

The Rigging App helps riggers, crane operators, instructors, and safety professionals quickly calculate load weight and sling tension. Enter load dimensions, sling lengths, heights, or angles to get accurate results instantly. Designed for both field use and rigging training, the app provides a practical way to apply rigging math to real-world lifting situations. Instructors can use it to demonstrate calculations and help trainees understand how load dimensions, sling angles, and rigging configurations affect the results. Built with offline-first functionality, the app works without an internet connection, making it useful on jobsites and in training environments where connectivity may be limited. Built-in input checks help identify invalid inputs and extreme angles. Whether you're checking a lift in the field or teaching the calculations behind it, the Rigging App puts practical rigging math at your fingertips.
