Rigging Safety

All of our equipment measures in KN (kilonewton - carabiners, spansets, etc.) which is the standard of measurement used to determine a hardwards ability to withstand dynamic force.

 

All equipment will be rigged to i-beams (25 ft ceilings), basketing the spansets over the i-beam, by two people, a structural engineer and an aerial rigger.
