The Rigging Plan is a documented planning for the movement of loads considered risky, such as:
- Loads exceeding 90% of the crane’s load capacity;
- Hoisting with multiple cranes, exceeding 75% of their capacity;
- Hoisting where one or more cranes change position;
- Loads over operational or occupied installations, over process pipe racks, or near power lines;
- Involving cutting with a torch and/or graphite;
- Flammable, toxic, or radioactive materials;
- Loads that need to be transferred to other vehicles;
- Loads over 10 tons, regardless of the above criteria;
- Loads where the weight-to-exposed surface area ratio exceeds 1.2m²/ton;
The main objective of the Rigging Plan is to provide greater safety, efficiency, and faster execution of the work, involving operators, engineers, planners, and the load owner in its preparation.
Engineers and Technicians with an active CREA (Regional Council of Engineering and Agronomy) registration are authorized to prepare the Rigging Plan, and for it to be valid, it is necessary that for each plan, an ART (Technical Responsibility Note) is issued, as determined by Law No. 6.496/1977.
The Rigging Plan uses technical information such as:
Crane usage percentage, respecting the permitted capacity;
Crane and hoisted material load stress on the ground;
Soil resistance where the crane will be stabilized;
Best angle, best rotation, best way to move the load;
Correct weight of the load;
Resistance characteristics of the moved load;
In addition to the Rigging Plan, there are a series of safety devices that, when used together, provide a much safer operation, minimizing the occurrence of accidents. Visit our website to learn more: https://acr1.com.br/en/contact-us
