Rigging Hardware Reference Hub

Welcome to Baremotion’s rigging hardware component resource center. Connecting, tensioning, and securing heavy structural assemblies demands high-test, drop-forged fittings. Utilizing the correct mechanical connection point is paramount to preventing catastrophic rigging failures under intense structural loads.

Critical Connection & Fitting Principles

• Shackle Pin Safety: Ensure screw pin anchor shackles are fully tightened and the pin is properly seated before starting any pulling or lifting sequence. For permanent or long-term installations, utilize bolt-type safety shackles fitted with a cotter pin.
• Angular Loading Penalties: Standard machinery eye bolts lose up to 75% of their rated capacity when pulled at a 45-degree angle. For non-vertical or angular lifts, always substitute standard eye bolts with heavy-duty swivel hoist rings that rotate 360 degrees and pivot 180 degrees.
• Component Compatibility: Ensure the Working Load Limit (WLL) of your connecting hardware (master links, hooks, and couplers) perfectly matches or exceeds the load rating of the chain or wire rope sling it is joining. The assembly is only as strong as its weakest component.
