Rigging Hardware
Purpose of ASME B30.26-2015
The core purpose of this volume is to establish safety and performance criteria for the small but critical components used daily in rigging operations. It ensures that this hardware possesses the necessary ductility, design factors, and proof load capabilities to reliably withstand the forces generated during overhead lifting.
The standard achieves safety by:
