Specialist Lifting Labour
Energy Rigging supplies experienced, qualified Slinger Signallers for safe load attachment and crane communication on energy, industrial and infrastructure projects across the UK and Europe.
The Slinger Signaller is an essential member of every lifting team. They are responsible for attaching loads to the crane hook, selecting and inspecting the correct lifting accessories, and directing the crane operator throughout the lift using agreed hand signals or radio communication.
A competent Slinger Signaller ensures that loads are correctly balanced and secured before lifting, that the landing zone is clear before descent, and that clear, unambiguous communication is maintained with the crane operator and Crane Supervisor at all times.
Our Slinger Signallers are experienced in demanding energy and industrial construction environments, working safely and efficiently as part of coordinated lifting teams.
Competent selection and inspection of slings, shackles, spreader beams and other lifting accessories — ensuring every load is correctly attached and balanced before the hook is raised.
Precise, unambiguous communication with crane operators using agreed hand signals or radio — maintaining control of the lift from attachment through to landing.
Experienced in working safely in proximity to suspended loads, managing exclusion zones and identifying hazards before and during lifting operations.
