Rigwise is the rigging calculator built for the field β fast, correct, fully offline, and a one-time purchase. No subscription. No account. No internet required. Your data never leaves your phone. Built for crane riggers, signal persons, ironworkers, and anyone who plans a lift. THE CALCULATORS (always free) β’ Sling Tension β see how the load in each leg climbs as the sling angle drops. Enter the angle, or just the sling length and height. Clear red warning below 30Β°. β’ Working Load Limit β vertical, choker, and basket hitches, with the angle and D/d reduction factors applied. β’ Center of Gravity β find how much each pick point actually carries when the load is off-center. β’ Crane Capacity % β check your load against the chart capacity, with a warning when you're over. Every result shows a plain-language safety state, glove-readable, in light or dark. RIGWISE PRO β the studio (one-time purchase, yours forever) β’ Gear inventory β log your slings, shackles, chains, and hooks with their tagged WLL. β’ Inspection tracking β Rigwise flags gear that's overdue for inspection before you grab it. β’ Lift Plans β save a named lift; Rigwise re-computes the numbers from your inputs so a saved plan is never a stale, hand-typed figure. β’ Field-ready export β share a clean lift-plan summary with your crew. WHY RIGWISE β’ Works 100% offline β job sites don't have signal. β’ One-time purchase β the tools you paid for keep working, forever. β’ Private by design β no account, no tracking, nothing collected. β’ Correct β the math is deterministic and exhaustively tested against standard rigging practice. SAFETY Rigwise is a calculation aid. Always verify every result against the manufacturer's tag, the load chart, and a qualified person. It is not a substitute for an engineered lift plan or professional judgment. Rigging is inherently hazardous; you are solely responsible for the safety of any lift.
