Description
Stage Rigging Handbook provides a comprehensive guide to designing, operating, and maintaining stage rigging equipment. First published in 1987 and revised several times since, this industry standard text has been updated for a new generation of professionals.
The handbook covers the construction and care of basic lifting media, types of rigging systems, forces that impact rigging, and day-to-day best safety practices, including risk assessment and fall protection. The fourth edition includes new chapters on truss, motorized chain hoists, hardware, and job safety, as well as updated photographs and drawings.
With its unique combination of research and practical experience, Stage Rigging Handbook is an essential resource for anyone working in the performing arts or stagecraft. It prepares readers to begin hands-on training and practice upon completion of the book.
