PSC Guide-It Rigger Tagline

Hands-Free Load Control for Safer Rigging & Lifting Operations

In lifting and rigging operations, uncontrolled suspended loads are one of the leading causes of hand injuries, struck-by incidents, and line entanglement hazards. Traditional rope taglines, while widely used, often introduce new risks — including hand exposure, snap-back injuries, and dangerous tangling around equipment or personnel.

The Rigger Tagline is an engineered load-control solution designed to provide distance, control, and predictability during lifting operations — without placing hands near moving or suspended loads.

Why Traditional Taglines Create Hidden Safety Risks

Conventional rope taglines rely heavily on manual handling. During load rotation, wind influence, or landing alignment, workers are often forced to wrap, grip, or reposition ropes under tension.

Common risks include:

• Hand and finger injuries from sudden load movement

• Rope entanglement around wrists, tools, or structures

• Loss of control due to slack or excessive tension

• Snap-back incidents when lines release unexpectedly

• Improvised extensions using unsafe materials

These risks increase significantly in oil & gas, steel fabrication, construction, power plants, shipyards, and heavy industrial projects where loads are large, awkward, or lifted in confined spaces.

What Is a Rigger Tagline?

A Rigger Tagline is a purpose-built, hands-free load guidance tool that allows riggers to control load direction, rotation, and stabilization from a safe distance.

Unlike standard rope taglines, it is designed to:

• Maintain separation between workers and suspended loads

• Reduce tangling and line management issues

• Provide consistent, predictable control during lifts

• Eliminate the need for hands or feet near pinch points

The focus is not just on moving a load — but on controlling it safely.

How the Rigger Tagline Improves Load Control

The Rigger Tagline works by giving riggers a dedicated control interface that stays clear of the load path while remaining responsive to movement.

Key functional advantages include:

• Controlled load rotation during crane or hoist lifts

• Stable guidance while landing or positioning loads

• Reduced line twist and entanglement during operation

• Improved communication between rigger and operator

• Consistent tension management without sudden release

This results in smoother lifts, fewer corrections, and significantly lower exposure to injury risks.

Core Safety Benefits

• Hands-free load guidance

• Increased distance from suspended and moving loads

• Reduced pinch, crush, and struck-by hazards

• Improved line visibility and control

• Less reliance on improvised or unsafe tools

By removing the need to physically manage rope near the load, the Rigger Tagline supports behavior-based safety programs and engineering controls rather than procedural reliance alone.

Industrial Applications

The Rigger Tagline is suitable for a wide range of lifting and rigging environments, including:

• Crane lifting operations

• Steel and structural alignment

• Equipment placement and positioning

• Module and skid handling

• Pipe racks, vessels, and fabricated assemblies

• Confined or high-traffic job sites

It is commonly used in oil & gas projects, heavy construction, fabrication yards, power generation facilities, and industrial maintenance operations.

Engineered for Real Jobsite Conditions

Rigger Taglines are designed with durability and field conditions in mind. While configurations may vary, typical design considerations include:

• High-strength construction for industrial loads

• Materials suitable for outdoor and harsh environments

• Design features that minimize line twist and tangling

• Compatibility with standard rigging practices

• Easy inspection and handling by rigging crews

This makes the Rigger Tagline a practical upgrade from conventional rope-based methods without disrupting existing workflows.

Supporting Safer Rigging Practices

The Rigger Tagline is not meant to replace rigging expertise — it is designed to support safer decision-making by reducing the need for workers to be in harm’s way.

When integrated into lift planning and job safety analysis (JSA), it helps organizations:

• Reduce recordable hand injuries

• Improve compliance with safe-lifting procedures

• Standardize load-control methods across crews

• Move away from improvised or inconsistent practices

A Smarter Approach to Load Control

In high-risk lifting operations, safety is not just about PPE — it’s about engineering controls that remove exposure altogether.

The Rigger Tagline provides a practical, job-tested solution for controlling suspended loads while keeping workers at a safe distance, making it an essential tool for modern rigging and lifting operations.

Technical Specifications & Engineering Details

The Guide-It® Safety Rigger Tagline is a purpose-engineered load-control solution designed to support safe, hands-free guidance of suspended loads during lifting and rigging operations. Every component is selected to deliver controlled movement, reduced line twist, and consistent performance in high-risk industrial environments.

Rope Construction

The tagline is manufactured using high-strength industrial-grade polyester rope, chosen for its excellent abrasion resistance, flexibility, and load stability. The rope construction allows smooth handling while maintaining structural integrity under repeated use in construction, steel handling, and plant maintenance operations.

Swivel Hook Assembly

Each tagline is fitted with a 25 kN rated swivel-action hook manufactured from galvanized steel composite. The integrated swivel allows the load to rotate freely without transferring torsional force to the rope, significantly reducing tangling and improving directional control during load positioning and alignment. The galvanized finish enhances corrosion resistance for extended service life in outdoor and industrial environment.

Load Control Performance

The swivel design enables:

• Controlled movement of suspended loads in and out

• Improved stability during windy conditions

• Reduced manual correction during alignment and placement

• Safer distance between personnel and active load paths

This design supports precise load guidance while minimizing uncontrolled rotation and sudden load shifts.

Standard Sizes

The Guide-It® Safety Rigger Tagline is available in the following standard lengths to suit varying lift heights and site requirements:

• 5 meters

• 10 meters

• 15 meters

• 20 meters

Part Number Identification

Each length configuration is identified by a dedicated part number for ease of specification and procurement:

• PSC-GISRT-05
