What type of rigging method is commonly used for triangular loads?

Triangular loads typically have a center of gravity that aligns closely with one of their geometric points, making the triangular lifting pattern the most effective method for handling such shapes. This specific lifting pattern allows the load to be balanced and minimizes the risk of tipping or uneven distribution of weight during the lift.

Using a triangular lifting pattern involves attaching rigging points at the three vertices of the triangular load. This configuration ensures that the forces during the lift are evenly distributed among the points of attachment, promoting stability and control as the load is hoisted.

In contrast, other patterns such as one-point lifting or rectangular lifting patterns might not provide the same level of security or balance needed when dealing with the unique geometry of a triangular shape. Therefore, the triangular lifting pattern is specifically engineered to accommodate the characteristics of triangular loads effectively.
