Suspended Swing Stage Solutions
Alternative Rigging Methods

 

Parapet Clamps*
As with Cornice hooks, parapet clamps use the parapet wall for support. They offer a quick and efficient means of rigging. The rigging points on parapet clamps are out away from the wall so, unlike cornice hooks, parapet clamps apply a significant amount of torque loading to the parapet wall. These should only be used on structural walls approved by a professional engineer. Standard clamps are of steel construction, but custom ordered aluminum models are available. (Note: Tieback cables used with parapet clamps must be under tension. Use of a turnbuckle is needed.)

Cornice hooks enable riggers to hang from the parapet wall to suspend their scaffolds. The design of these hooks minimizes the moment applied to the wall. Virtually all the load is applied in a downward direction. This minimizes any side-to-side or torsion load applied to the wall. The rigging points on cornice hooks are within inches of the outside wall. This helps with loading, but often makes it difficult to operate the scaffold up to the roof level. Fabricated from ½” or ¾” plate steel, these hooks are flame cut to accommodate wall thicknesses from 9”-28”. (Larger sizes are available)
Pigeon Hole Stand / Tripod Stand
A simple, clean and lightweight solution for rigging through roof holes.  Examples include core drilled concrete holes, steel grated decks, etc…  Simply insert the tip of the wire rope through the hole and fasten the ¾” bolt through the thimble.  There is a 12” clearance for swaged fittings of fist grips (from the center of the bolt to the top of the steel plate).		 photo
Chokers
Light and inexpensive, chokers are one of the most efficient rigging methods. Made from ½” wire rope, with standard lengths of 4 and 6 ft., chokers are used to wrap around structural beams or columns. Custom lengths available.
Beam Clamp
Lightweight and adjustable clamps made for quick and easy installation. Attaches to the underside of structural I-Beams. Beam clamps offer convenient fixed rigging points.		 photo

Like beam clamps, these devices attach to the flange of a beam. Fitted with rollers/wheels these rigging points can travel the length of the beam to offer greater access possibilities.
