Which rigging classification do I need?

Most straightforward lifting work needs Basic Rigging (RB). Structural steel, dismantling and hoists typically need Intermediate (RI). Critical lifts, multi-crane work, gin-pole, suspended structures and anything on a lift study usually need Advanced (RA). Tell us what the lift involves and we'll match.

Can your riggers work on high-rise and tower crane jobs?

Yes — we regularly deploy intermediate and advanced riggers on high-rise tower crane work in the Sydney CBD. They pair well with our own tower crane operators.

Do your riggers bring their own rigging gear?

Our riggers carry standard personal gear (hard hat, hi-vis, boots, gloves, harness where applicable). Site-specific rigging equipment — slings, shackles, lifting beams — is usually supplied by the principal or specified in the lift study.

Can I hire a rigger short-term for a specific lift?

Yes, single-shift and short-term rigging deployments are common. We dispatch the right classification based on the lift plan.

§ 01 — Overview

What a ProChoice rigger brings to site.

Rigging work carries real consequence. The sling angle, the lift plan, the precast tilt — get any of it wrong and the whole program stops. ProChoice supplies riggers across the three SafeWork NSW classifications so the one we send actually matches the work you're asking them to do.

Basic riggers handle standard structural and pre-slung loads. Intermediate covers hoists, structural steel up to modest complexity, dismantling and more technical rigging. Advanced is for critical lifts, multi-crane, gin pole, suspended gear and everything that needs a lift study on paper before it leaves the ground.

Our bench includes riggers who've worked high-rise Sydney CBD towers, WestConnex civil packages and major precast erection programs. They know the lift — and they know when to push back on a shortcut.

§ 03 — Why ProChoice

Why builders keep calling back.

Classification-matched

We send the RA rigger for the RA lift. We don't upsell you a ticket you don't need — but we don't under-spec when you do.

Lift-study ready

Our advanced riggers read lift studies properly and flag issues before the lift goes live.

Crew-compatible

Experienced working alongside dogmen and crane operators — often the same people they've crewed with on past jobs.

No cowboy rigging

By-the-book sling angles, proven rigging gear, load chart respect. Not heroic — just professional.
