Rigging Hardware Enquiry Checklist

Separate ordinary connecting hardware from equipment specified for lifting or other rated service. State the intended use before asking for a price.

Define the service first

Identify lifting, securing, tensioning or a non-lifting connection. For rated service, provide the approved product requirement, working load limit and required documentation. A familiar shape or a heavy-duty label is not a rating.

Choose the exact component

For shackles, specify shape and pin arrangement. For turnbuckles, specify both end fittings, adjustment and connection dimensions. For wire rope clips, specify rope diameter / construction, clip design and the intended termination.

Describe the complete connection

Attach a drawing where mating-part clearance, load direction, orientation or assembly length matters. List associated thimbles, shackles or other parts separately instead of assuming they are included.

Request product-specific evidence

Specify marking, traceability, certification and any tests required for the actual product and service. General catalogue imagery or another manufacturer's documents are not certification of a FastenerBridge order.

Use the approved application instructions

Confirm the selected product's installation and use restrictions. This checklist does not assign a lifting capacity or prescribe universal wire-rope clip count, spacing or torque. Have the responsible qualified person approve the arrangement.
