SLINGS, SHACKLES, CHAIN AND HOOKS, EACH CHECKED AGAINST ITS OWN SPECIFIC FAILURE POINTS
What you get
- A fillable PDF - check boxes and type directly into every field
- Header fields for Location, Date, and Time, plus Inspection Performed Before Use / During Use checkboxes
- Description and Equipment ID fields
- A detailed Yes/No inspection grid covering Sling/Grommet/Fiber Sling (loop deformation, stitching, cuts, pollution, broken wires, heat damage, and more), Type and Fitting sub-checks, Shackle (capacity marks, pin condition, cracks), Chain (cracks, bend/deformation), and Hooks (nicks, twist, wear, throat opening)
- A Comments area and Inspected By / Project Site Manager signatures
- Your company logo added to the form, at no extra charge
How to fill it out and keep it. Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) or a desktop browser like Chrome or Edge, then use that program's own Save or Download button, not just closing the tab, so your entries are kept in the saved copy. On a phone, most PDF apps will let you view the form but not type into it - fill it out on a computer, or print it and use a pen.

Why crews use it
- Each rigging component - sling, shackle, chain, hook - is checked against the specific failure points that component actually experiences, not a generic 'inspect the rigging' checkbox
- Numeric thresholds built into the questions themselves (broken wires over 10% in a length of 8x diameter, throat opening exceeding 15%) give inspectors an objective pass/fail line instead of a subjective judgment call
- Before Use / During Use checkboxes distinguish a pre-lift inspection from an in-progress check, which matters for how a defect found mid-lift gets handled
- Covering slings, shackles, chain, and hooks on one form means a full rigging assembly gets inspected together, not piecemeal across separate documents
Built for
- Riggers and crane operators completing pre-use or in-use rigging equipment inspections
- Safety coordinators standardizing rigging inspection documentation across a site or fleet
- COR/SECOR audit programs requiring evidence of documented, component-specific rigging inspections
Why it matters
Rigging failure - a sling with hidden broken wires, a shackle pin bent past tolerance, a hook with a throat opening stretched beyond spec - happens exactly at the failure points this checklist names specifically, not from a vague 'it looked fine.' A component-by-component inspection with objective thresholds is what catches rigging that's about to fail before it's under load.

Common questions
Before you buy
What people ask us about the Rigging Inspection & Maintenace Checklist.
What is the Rigging Inspection & Maintenace Checklist used for?
A Rigging Inspection & Maintenance Checklist that inspects slings, shackles, chain, and hooks against the specific defects each component actually fails from - loop deformation, pin distortion, hook throat opening, and more - delivered as a real fillable PDF for before-use or during-use rigging checks. Who uses it: Riggers and crane operators completing pre-use or in-use rigging equipment inspections; Safety coordinators standardizing rigging inspection documentation across a site or fleet; COR/SECOR audit programs requiring evidence of documented, component-specific rigging inspections.
Can we fill it in on a computer, or is it print-only?
Both. It is a fillable PDF, so every field can be typed into on a laptop or tablet and saved, or you can print it blank and fill it in by hand. Your company logo is added at no extra charge.
Does using this form make us compliant?
No single form makes a company compliant. A form is the evidence half of a safety program - it records that something was checked and by whom. It carries weight at audit time when the written program behind it says the check is required and how often. If that program does not exist yet, that is the part we write.
When do I get it?
Immediately after checkout as a download, and you can re-download it any time from your purchases page. Print or fill in as many copies as your own crews need.
From the team that wrote it
These forms come from a bigger program.
Inspection and competency forms are the evidence half of a safety program. If the program they belong to does not exist yet, or has not been updated in a few years, that is the part we write.
