A rigger or slinger is a skilled tradesperson who specializes in the assistance of manual mechanical advantage device comprising pulley, block and tackle or motorised such as a crane or derrick or chain hoists (chain fall) or capstan winch.
The term comes from the days of sailing ships, when a rigger was a person who worked with rigging, that is, ropes for hoisting the sails. Sailors could put their rope skills to work in lifting and hauling. In an era before mechanical haulage and cranes, ropes, pulleys and muscle power were all that was available to move heavy objects. A specialized subset are telecommunication riggers, entertainment industry riggers. In time, rigging became a trade in itself, giving rise to modern usages with some original terminology remaining, with its roots all but forgotten.
The best advice is to use a rigger brush with mixed hair: some natural, some synthetic. This means the brush will retain more paint than a 100% synthetic brush but will keep its shape and wear a little slower than a brush made from 100% natural hair.
There are a number of rigger brushes available on Amazon, however, I do love an in-person perusal of art supplies at a physical art supply store. I know this is not always an option, especially for those of us in more rural areas. You can check out the range of rigger brushes on Jacksons Art, they are based in the UK but have very reasonable international shipping rates.
Rigger brushes are excellent for painting long fine lines such as the rigging of a ship, but also tree branches, flower stamens, building railings, intricate patterns, grass or any other fine details. There is definitely a knack to using a rigger brush though. Read the tips below and with a little bit of practice and it will become second nature.
Most recently I have found my rigger brush super useful in the 3030 direct watercolor challenge Marc Taro Holmes hosts each year during June. The idea is to do a daily painting directly in watercolor, no pencil sketch or pen lines to follow. The rigger brush has proved so useful to paint in fine dark lines to add defined edges to shapes where needed. I have also used it to paint textures on rocks, wooden huts, foliage and water ripples.
Another thing I realised is that in order to use the rigger brush effectively, how you hold or grip the brush really affects the line quality. I was gripping the brush so tight right at the ferrule (metal bit) just like a pencil and was not getting the fine flowing line I needed. I was so tightly wound about controlling the long brush hairs and getting them to behave how I wanted! I somehow became conscious of what I was doing, loosened my grip and held the brush slightly further down the handle, just slightly further back from where the ferrule meets the brush handle. By loosening up I allowed the brush to do its work and create a nice flowing line.
Just as with any brush, the amount of pressure you use affects the quality of your line. This is even more so with a rigger brush. Using light pressure with just the very tip of the brush can produce delicate lines, however, if you apply more pressure and more of the length of the brush you will produce broader lines.
Module ID 21301; from Mobile Crane Operations Level Three: Discusses the importance of load charts and charts that apply to different configurations. Includes on-rubber, on-outrigger, jib, and deduction charts, as well as range diagrams and operational notes. Covers parts of line and capacity calculations.
Each certificated parachute rigger must have a seal with an identifying mark prescribed by the Administrator, and a seal press. After packing a parachute he shall seal the pack with his seal in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendation for that type of parachute.
This person may be qualified in a craft or trade and carry an occupational title such as iron worker, electrician, carpenter, millwright, mechanic, laborer, mason, longshoreman, lineman, pipe fitter, boilermaker, and the like. (The persons described in the categories above will be referred to as rigger even though they carry another occupational title.)
NCCCO identified the following job duties for Rigger Level I certification. A Certified Rigger Level I can perform simple, repetitive rigging tasks when the load weight, center of gravity, the rigging, and rigging configuration are provided or known by the rigger through experience or on-the-job training prior to the rigging activities. Specifically, Level I Riggers should be able to demonstrate or have knowledge of how to:
Candidates must pass both Written and Practical Examinations to be certified for a five-year period. The Written and Practical Exams may be taken in either order. Candidates have 12 months from the time they pass their first Written or Practical Exam for each rigger level in which to pass the corresponding (Written or Practical) Exam.
If a candidate has previously certified in another CCO program and subsequently becomes certified as a rigger or holds Rigger Level I certification and adds Level II certification, he/she may request an updated certification card.

The first season of my skydiving career I watched a friend die due to a rigger error on his reserve. I realized at that time that I did not know what I was looking at when I looked at his gear. I did not understand what had gone wrong.
To be an FAA certified rigger you must be 18 years old. Speak read and understand English. Have packed 20 reserves under the supervision of a certified rigger. And be able to do patches and repairs. This is for Senior Rigger.
In the sixth world, riggers are people who use datajacks and in most cases a special type of cyberware - called the "rigger control" - to interface with vehicles and drones. Often they also use a remote control deck. The term "rigger" may also be applied to others using these machines.
Riggers jump in to machines to control them with their mind. While jumped in they feel like they are the machine, using the vehicle or drone's sensors to replace their own. This allows the rigger to control the machine at Matrix speeds and with greater precision. The downside is if the machine takes damage the rigger will have to deal with dangerous levels of biofeedback. Likewise the rigger may have to engage in cybercombat with other hackers that are attempting to hijack their devices.
Created with carbon fibre, the new Aliante sweep rigger is able to directly transmit the load of the athlete onto the boat, without any elastic absorption.
The weight is concentrated on the extremities to increasingly optimise the stability of the boat.
Mounted on boats stratified ad-hoc, the new Aliante sweep rigger is designed not to deform during rowing actions.
Chief Warrant Officer 4 Petrice McKey-Reese is one of those unique Soldiers. Her retirement ceremony, held here Dec. 17, marked the final page in her 30-year career as a parachute rigger, 21 of those years as a warrant officer, and the only African American female to ever be designated a rigger warrant.
Her Airdrop Systems Technician training lasted approximately 20 weeks and during those weeks she learned how to support commanders with airborne operations guidance, oversee airdrop and rigger operations, and how to find malfunctions in equipment that potentially saves lives on the drop zone.
The RIGGER certification is intended to help festival organisers, local clubs and individual highliners with permissions, insurance, liability and alleviate access issues in general. Certified riggers are expected to be active members of the slackline community with a strong sense of responsibility and attention to detail. The certification is not a course, but an exam. It consists of three days of testing to guarantee that the participants are capable and reliable riggers.
A rigger certificate will aid you in becoming a more professional rigger, enable you to assist and rig on festivals, give leverage in negotiating with city officials, insurance companies and others, and in combination with an instructor certificate allow you to give highline focused workshops and courses according to ISA standards.
The original canvas backdrops of the theater were manipulated by ropes and pulleys, which were derived from sail-making skills. Modern fly systems arose from these foundations. British theaters have a reputation for never whistling on stage because the riggers used the exact whistled directions on stage as they did aboard ships. The riggers could interpret a misplaced whistle as a command to adjust the settings.
Animators evaluate rigs and then comment on riggers who fix or improve them as needed. The procedure will be repeated until the riggers and animators are satisfied with the rigged models (the 3D puppets).
You can advance from being a general rigger to a Chargehand Rigger, where you will manage a small team, to a Supervising Rigger, supervising many teams. Finally, you become a Head of Rigging or HoD Rigger, overseeing the entire rigging operation for a production.
