Choosing a course
Which rigging course matches the lifting you do?
Rigging runs from a basic course to an advanced one at four times the price, and the difference is real: the advanced course covers pre-lift planning, wire rope, sling angles and hardware for people who plan lifts rather than hook them up. Load chart reading is a separate skill again.
How this is ordered. By what On-Track customers actually bought over the last twelve months, not by our opinion of them. The first one listed is the one most people take.

What actually separates them
- Basic rigging is for workers who rig under supervision.
- Advanced rigging is for the person planning the lift, and is the most expensive course in the catalogue at $199.99.
- Crane load chart reading is a separate course, not part of the rigging ones.
- Overhead crane operation has its own course.
