There are a number of ways to sling a truss in a correct manner, however it is always important to remember these few things:

Correct Rigging Methods:

• Where possible, use the lower cords of the truss as the connecting point
• Always sling in a compression configuration rather than a tension configuration
• Where possible, it is good practice to rig at the ‘Node’ point

Things to remember:

• All rigging of trusses should be done by licensed persons
• You must never exceed the system's W.L.L for operations - Including any dynamic loadings that may applied
• Where possible, you should sling at a ‘Node’ point
• A deformed truss is not a safe truss
