Modern Rigging: Trends in Industrial Safety and Materials

The rigging industry in the USA is rapidly adopting new materials and safety technologies, driven by stricter OSHA standards and the need to handle increasingly heavy, complex loads in industries like offshore energy and specialized construction.

• Focus on Certification: Safety regulations mandate rigorous inspection. Professionals are prioritizing rigging chain rope and hardware for industrial applications that meets high international standards and requires proof testing documentation for assurance.
• Corrosion Resistance: The demand for stainless steel wire rope and hardware is growing significantly in marine, food processing, and architectural applications where resistance to salt spray, chemicals, and general corrosion is paramount.
• Intelligent Rigging: A major emerging trend is the integration of RFID tags and sensor technology into rigging components. This allows for real-time monitoring of tension, wear, and usage history, dramatically improving proactive maintenance and worker safety.
• Advanced Materials: New high-strength alloy steels and synthetic materials are increasing the strength-to-weight ratio of heavy-duty industrial wire rope and chain, making components both stronger and lighter for easier handling and lower transportation costs.
• Compliance & Inspection: To meet OSHA guidelines, facilities rely on specialized wire rope & chain accessories for industrial like gauges and inspection kits to monitor chain elongation, wire rope breakage, and hook deformation, ensuring components are retired before failure.

By integrating these specialized materials and adhering to modern inspection protocols, you ensure your lifting operations are safe, compliant, and optimized for maximum efficiency. At Penn Tool Co., we provide the highest-grade chain, rope, wire rope, and industrial hardware built to meet today's rigorous safety standards and emerging rigging technologies.
