Introduction to the Rigger III Written Certification Test............ 1
Performance Test........................................................................ 27
INFORMATION SHEET
Description
The Rigger III written certification test is an online,
computer-based test consisting of approximately 50
theoretical questions, which covers safety equipment,
equipment inspection, hitch arrangements, lifting
equipment capacities, calculations, formulas and crane
hand signals.
Description
The Rigger III performance certification test provides
individual assessment of each candidate’s rigging
capabilities on different load types.
Description
The Rigger III re-certification test consists of a
(theoretical) online, computer-based test and a (practical)
performance test.

PERFORMANCE TEST
Introduction
For the performance section of the Rigger III certification,
you will be required to perform two (2) separate rigging
tasks.
Sample of Loads
• valves
• electrical motor
• pipe spool
• pumps
• pump covers
• gear box
• vessels
• skid assembly
• actuator
Task Skills
You will be required to perform the following skills
when given a load to lift.
Sling Chart
The lifting capacity (SWL) of a sling can change based
on the hitch arrangement.
Figure 28
Wire Rope Sling
To select the correct chart for the hitch arrangement
you must know the sling type, hitch arrangement, sling
angle, and the weight of the load being lifted.
Each sling material has its own sling chart. Make sure
the chart is for the sling material you want to use.
For wire rope slings, you must also know the classification
group, type of steel, and type of core used to make
the wire rope.
For nylon slings, you must know the type of sling material
and its capacity per inch of width. This information is
stamped on the sling end fittings or printed on the
Figure 29
Nylon Sling
sling itself.
Figure 30
Figure 31
STEP PROCEDURE
1 Find the correct table for the type and material
of the sling.
Figure 32
Figure 33
Sling Angle
When bridle, basket or double
choker hitches are attached to
a single lifting hook, the sling
legs are not vertical. This sling
angle has an important effect
on the capacity of the sling.
Figure 34
Figure 36
Sample Problem
If you adjust sling/hitch capacity, re-check the capacity
of the sling after selecting a size. You must make sure
the sling size is strong enough to support the load in
the specified hitch arrangement. Compare the adjusted
capacity of the sling to the load weight. If the adjusted
sling capacity is less than the load weight, try the next
larger sling size. Adjust the capacity of the larger sling
size as required for the hitch and re-check the capacity.
Do this until you find a sling size with a capacity equal
to or greater than the load weight. The capacity of
the sling/hitch arrangement must be equal or greater
than the load weight after all required adjustments
have been made.
Figure 37
Activity
Calculate the capacity of a ½” wire rope with a hand-
tucked eye splice. Assume a single vertical hitch is used.
Classification is 6 × 37 fiber core.
Note: As per TOI 07-05 requirements, a candidate who fails his initial
certification online or performance test must wait 30 days before
being allowed a second test.
A candidate who fails his second certification online or performance
test must submit proof of remedial training (Saudi Aramco employees
must complete an ITC refresher course) to be allowed a third
certification test.
A candidate who fails his third certification online or performance
test must wait 12 months before being allowed another certification
test.
