Thread: Front recovery point for D1?

Just wondering why you made this statement, what has ****ed you off, Quote:"As a qualified /certified rigger that makes you a design engineer so as a quaified/certfied bus driver does that make me a coach builder"

As a Rigger on every occasion of a lift/move I am personally liable for any injuries/damage caused by NOT doing the job properly/safely, I am responsible for every worker in the vicinity of my work.
I need to know what type/size sling, shackle, strap etc. to use to do the job safely and correctly. I need to know what, for instance a shackle, is "designed and engineered" to do, for instance I know that a shackle is designed and engineered to have the load applied in only the straight ahead line of pull.
Now when someone uses a shackle that is loaded from the side with the shackle pin jambed in the horizontal plane hole of the recovery point bracket and the snatch strap off centre and to the side. Then that person has turned the shackle into the weakest point in the recovery line, whereas if the pull was straight ahead then the snatch strap becomes the weakest link, which is what you want. It's better to have a snatch strap break than have part of a shackle flying like a bullet through the air.
I am not a Design Engineer, but I have to know the limitations of lifting/recovery gear that I use and going by the number of people being injured and killed by broken recovery gear I offered my Expert advice on how this gear should be used safely. Your statement implies what I'm saying is wrong, if so please point out what is wrong and enlighten us on how it should be done, regards Frank.

I'm not saying your wrong I am just sick of hearing the same carp over and over
Give others a chance to have their say ,you are a rigger by trade so stick to that .There is in no such way the perfect recovery point only what's available .

i suggest you all keep civil tongues in your heads and try to behave like adults.

some people get very passionate on the subject of what appears to be dangerous behavior in their eyes.

name calling will sort nothing and only demeans your forum persona.

if you don't want to talk to each other please use the ignore list to your advantage.
