Advanced / Master Rigger Training

Overview of Our Advanced Rigger Course

Cranes are vital machines used to safely lift and transport heavy materials within countless industry applications, including loading transport vehicles and vessels and moving raw construction materials.

At CICB, we provide advanced rigger training to help professionals on their way to becoming Master riggers. This course is for organizations with advanced rigging applications where intermediate rigging training won't cut it. If your team is involved with bull rigging, multi-crane lifts, or any other advanced rigging practice, our experts can prepare them to perform their duties safely and efficiently.

Our educators balance classroom work and in-field exercises to effectively teach crucial crane and rigging responsibilities and skills. Attendees will learn how to properly inspect, select and use essential hardware.

Employees interested in our Master rigging course will benefit from safety, productivity and performance improvements to establish a well-running worksite.

Types of Cranes Covered in Our Advanced Rigger Course

Effective rigging has to take into account a variety of lifting equipment. Focusing on the equipment your team uses, our course to exhaustively covers a variety of equipment types to consider when planning a lift, such as:

• Overhead Bridge Cranes: This high-performance crane attaches to an overhead beam, allowing it to maneuver conveniently across facilities. We cover how to safely rig loads to these machines in various settings.
• Gantry Cranes: A gantry crane uses a single or double girder construction, supported by freestanding legs on wheels. Its configuration eliminates the need for a fixed overhead support system, creating a more flexible worksite.
• Mobile Cranes: Mobile cranes are often mounted on crawlers, carriers, or trucks and used to carry a wide range of materials, such as steel beams and concrete slabs. They can easily traverse countless terrain types and can boast minimal setup procedures to save time and money. Understanding crane load capacities through load charts is essential to become an advanced rigger.
• Underhung and Monorail Cranes: Underhung and monorail cranes are cost-effective solutions for lifting heavy loads in environments such as warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and other settings.
