Bridle Y vs RigMaster

Bridle Y is a practical bridle calculator built for the entertainment rigging industry. Designed for working riggers, production crews and technical teams, Bridle Y helps you assess two-leg bridles quickly using pick point geometry and load weight. Calculate: • Bridle leg lengths • Included angle • Leg forces / tensions • Support reactions • Hardware and material guidance based on enabled stock lengths Whether you are planning in prep, checking options during load-in, or reviewing geometry on site, Bridle X provides a clear reference for common bridle calculations. Use Bridle Y to: • Compare pick point layouts • Review how angle changes affect forces • Estimate steels or chain requirements • Match available stock lengths • Plan cleaner, more practical bridles Important Safety Notice Bridle Y is for guidance only. It is not a substitute for competent rigging judgement, engineering approval, venue rules, manufacturer guidance or applicable regulations. Always verify: • Measurements • Hardware selections • WLL limits • Force paths • Final installation suitability Always follow local regulations, venue procedures, manufacturer data and qualified professional judgement before use in the field.

RigMaster is the rigging calculator built for working riggers, crane operators, and signal persons. LIFT PLAN PDF (PRO) • Turn any calculation into a one-page lift plan: diagram, inputs, results • Room for notes and three signature lines — prepared by, signature, date • Share it straight to the supervisor from the toolbar IPAD & UNITS • Universal app — two-column layout on iPad, any orientation • Metric or imperial — kg and metres or lb and feet, switch any time • Live sling diagram with the angle and tension on every leg FREE CALCULATORS • Sling Tension — 2-leg picks by angle, or by sling length & height (the way you actually measure) • Hitch Capacity — vertical, choker, and basket capacity from YOUR sling's tag rating • Angle Reference — the tension multiplier table, always in your pocket PRO CALCULATORS • 3 & 4-leg bridles with rigid/flexible load sharing • Unequal Legs / CoG Offset — tension per leg when the center of gravity isn't centered • Load Weight Estimator — steel, concrete, aluminum and more, by shape and dimensions • Ad-free Built on first-principles trigonometry with warnings at 45° and hard alerts below 30°, following standard rigging practice (ASME B30.9 guidance). RigMaster is an estimation aid for qualified riggers. Always follow the sling tag, the load chart, and your site's rigging plan. COMMON QUESTIONS Does it work offline? Yes. Every calculation runs on the phone. No signal needed on site. Do I need an account? No. There is no login and no sign-up. What is free? Sling Tension, Hitch Capacity and the Angle Reference table are free. Pro adds 3 and 4-leg bridles, unequal legs with CoG offset, the load weight estimator and the lift plan PDF, and removes the ads. Metric or imperial? Both, switchable at any time — kg and metres, or lb and feet. Can I hand the result to the supervisor? Yes. Pro turns any calculation into a one-page lift plan PDF: diagram, inputs, results, notes and three signature lines. Does it replace the sling tag or the load chart? No. It is an estimation aid for qualified riggers. The sling tag, the load chart and your site's rigging plan always come first. Does it work on iPad? Yes. Universal app, two-column layout on iPad, any orientation. Terms of Use: https://ghapps1.wordpress.com/terms-condition/ Privacy Policy: https://ghapps1.wordpress.com/privacy-policy/
