Master Rigger
The ITI Master Rigger Course is designed for participants that have had some exposure (2+ years) to crane and rigging operations. The course exposes participants to a variety of equipment and applications which include multiple crane lifts, load turning, load drifting with chain hoists, jacking and rolling using mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic systems, incline planes, and managing the center-of-gravity in all three axes.
On the fifth day, participants will complete written and practical exams for advanced rigging. Candidates who successfully pass the exams will receive a 5-year ITI Qualification. These qualifications meet the requirements of OSHA.
