OVERHEAD RIGGING
This requires a high measure of experience. This means:
• Knowledge in the calculation to the definition of the load-capacity.
• Knowledge of the used installation material.
• Regular safety inspections of the used material and the device
If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional
structural rigger. Injuries and/or damages to property can be the result of an improper installation!
• The device must never be fixed swinging freely in the room and has to be installed out of reach of
people.
• Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the
installation‘s weight. (Note: The maximum load of the truss can be found labeled on every GLOBAL
TRUSS trusses; Furthermore you can also download our free GLOBAL TRUSS TOOLBOX application for
your smartphone)
At overhead rigging the trussing must always be safeguarded with a safety-rope. This must satisfy the
following conditions:
• Interpretation for at least the 12-fold weight of the fixture
• only quick link with screw cap
• maximum drop distance 20cm
• after single load due to fall or damage this may not be used any more
