Industrial rigging is the process of using specialized equipment to transport or install heavy machinery. There are many types of equipment involved in the process, including straps, cables, cranes and other large machines.

Rigging is both a noun, the equipment, and verb, the action of designing and installing the equipment, in the preparation to move objects. A team of riggers design and install the lifting or rolling equipment needed to raise, roll, slide or lift objects such as with a crane, hoist or block and tackle.
