POLYESTER ROUND SLINGS

Used for cable picks.

SEWN SLINGS

Used to wrap and hang light loads(decor, truss etc.).

TRUSS

A welded aluminum structure in standardize sizes designed with versatility in mind to support common products such as lighting fixtures. Preferred method of slinging the truss is a choke and wrap.

GAC-FLEX

Used to sling and suspend truss. Gac-flex is preferred over webbing due to multiple �” steel cores which act as a safety precaution in the event of localized fires.

DO NOT choke Gac-flex together as this exceeds the radius l imitations of the steel cores. Use shackle connection instead.

AVOID use on cable pick.

MOTORS

Used for mechanical advantage to lift and suspend loads at height.

Basic set-up:

Power supply connects to motor controller

Motor controller connects both to independent power line with operating pendant and to the motor itself

Operation: one operator per motor control, i f there is a l imited or unavailable l ine of sight between operator and motor it is the operators responsibil ity to assign a rigger to act as ‘ l ine of sight’.

Universal command: STOP. This is the only command used for halting motor use.

CHAIN FALLS

A manual chain hoist.

Spreader Bar WLL as shown on page 20

Grapple WLL 2000lbs Vertical Load Only

Drawing: Page 19

Generic ‘Heart-shaped’ with screw Use correct size for weight and beam Proper attachment and positioning on beam

Custom VCC CRITICAL to use correct width and height to ensure right fit

VERLOCK

Used to adjust length in l ight loads.

MUST lock off with threaded screw lock.

DON’T pull cable through Verlock under tension as this will damage the steel.

DON’T make coils so tiny the cable keeps the shape.

GRAPPLE

Primary function is for inverted suspension from truss, l imited secondary function used to hang truss.

BEAM CLAMPS

Used on beams in place of slings when access is l imited.

CHEESEBOROUGH

Used as attachment point mounted on pipe or truss.

Working Load Limit: 1000 lbs. Eyebolt: provides additional fixed independent attachment point

Swivel: movable head, connects pipe to pipe/truss

Fixed: fixed head at 90º, connects pipe to pipe/truss

Lengths determined by task and venue.

Standard width: 11mm or 13mm

SPREADER BAR

Used to span gaps (ex. navigate ducting in VCC), create positioning of anchor points, and gain trim height.

Steel Load Table: Pages 21 & 22

Aluminum Load Table: Page 23

PIPE

Used as suspended attachment point and positioning for gear.

ROPES

Used primarily to haul gear, chain and steel into aerial working position.

RIGGING, LOADING,AND UNLOADING

• Trusses should be assembled by competent personnel who are familiar with the use and assembly of aluminum trusses;

• Always use washers on both sides of plates for bolted trusses;

• Trusses must be hung using bottom and top chords in order to ensure an optimal stability. Spanset must be as close as possible to the extremities (see figure in page G-3 – notes 3 and 4);

• Are valid when the pins are installed horizontally for the spigoted trusses (see figure in page G-3 – note 2);

• Take into consideration the self-weight of the trusses and indicate how much additional weight may be safely added;

• Deflexions are theoretical (based on the rigidity of the truss when full loaded). Actual deflexion may be slightly higher because of possible movement between truss sections due to attachment tolerance;

• When corner blocks are used, loading capacity must be reduce by 50% when corners are loaded on two adjacent faces.

• Trusses must be loaded symmetrically on each side; unbalanced loads could twist the trusses (see figure in page G-3 – note 5);

• All loads must be applied to, or as close as possible to, node points. A node point is the meeting of diagonal and/or vertical on the main chord (see figure in page G-3 – note 6);

• When raising or lowering trusses, hoists should run simultaneously in order to maintain the trusses leveled up;

• Always unload trusses before disassembling connections.

LOAD DATA

• Are to be considered for indoor use only. If dynamic loads or more supporting points are applied contact a structural engineer or Arcofab;

• Are only valid for static loads and spans with two supporting points (one at each end);

• Are valid when the truss is used with the diagonals oriented vertically (see attached figures in page G-3);

• Are valid when the end plates are installed vertically for the bolted trusses (see figure in page G-3 – note 1);

ALLOWABLE LOAD DATA12" x 12"LIGHT DUTY TRUSS

Data presented in this chart applies to trusses built after 2011.

Truss must be loaded symmetrically on each side.

All loads must be applied at or as close to node points (see General Section)

For point loads exceeding 200lb (90kg)and hung by sling basket, the load must be located at or as close as possible to a transverse bar.

Deflexions are based on the rigidity of the trusses and do not include possible movement between trusses due to attachment tolerance.

Data presented is valid for inside use only.

Data presented is valid for static loads and spans with two supporting points (span must be supported at each end). If dynamic loads or more supportings points are applied, a professional engineer or Riggit Services.

When corners are loaded on two adjacent faces, reduce the capacity of the trusses to 50%.

Trusses may be suspended by the top chords of the truss.

RIGGING, LOADING,AND UNLOADING

• Trusses should be assembled by competent personnel who are familiar with the use and assembly of aluminum trusses;

• Always use washers on both sides of plates for bolted trusses;

• Trusses must be hung using bottom and top chords in order to ensure an optimal stability. Spanset must be as close as possible to the extremities (see figure in page G-3 – notes 3 and 4);

• Are valid when the pins are installed horizontally for the spigoted trusses (see figure in page G-3 – note 2);

• Take into consideration the self-weight of the trusses and indicate how much additional weight may be safely added;

• Deflexions are theoretical (based on the rigidity of the truss when full loaded). Actual deflexion may be slightly higher because of possible movement between truss sections due to attachment tolerance;

• When corner blocks are used, loading capacity must be reduce by 50% when corners are loaded on two adjacent faces.

• Trusses must be loaded symmetrically on each side; unbalanced loads could twist the trusses (see figure in page G-3 – note 5);

• All loads must be applied to, or as close as possible to, node points. A node point is the meeting of diagonal and/or vertical on the main chord (see figure in page G-3 – note 6);

• When raising or lowering trusses, hoists should run simultaneously in order to maintain the trusses leveled up;

• Always unload trusses before disassembling connections.

LOAD DATA

• Are to be considered for indoor use only. If dynamic loads or more supporting points are applied contact a structural engineer or Arcofab;

• Are only valid for static loads and spans with two supporting points (one at each end);

• Are valid when the truss is used with the diagonals oriented vertically (see attached figures in page G-3);

• Are valid when the end plates are installed vertically for the bolted trusses (see figure in page G-3 – note 1);

16

Data presented in this chart applies to trusses built after April 2017.

Truss must be loaded symmetrically on each side.

All loads must be applied at or as close to node points (see General Section)

Deflexions are based on the rigidity of the trusses and do not include possible movement between trusses due to attachment tolerance.

Data presented is valid for inside use only.

Data presented is valid for static loads and spans with two supporting points (span must be supported at each end). If dynamic loads or more supportings points are applied, a professional engineer or Riggit Services.

When corners are loaded on two adjacent faces, reduce the capacity of the trusses to 50%.

Trusses must be suspended by lower chords.
