Rigging Concepts

One of the biggest shifts with the AirShackle™ is how much easier it is to handle on the job. Less weight to move, quicker to rig, easier to position, and less physical strain on crews compared to traditional steel shackles. When you’re working long days around heavy gear, those differences matter. The AirShackle™ was designed to improve efficiency without compromising strength or performance. ⬇️⬇️

We sleep well at night.. Why? We’ve tested....

At some point, the products passed.

It worked. It held. It performed.

Most would take that and go to market.

We didn’t…

Because passing a test doesn’t mean it’s the best.
It just means it met the minimum.

So we kept going.

More hours. More cycles. More pressure. More components.
Testing beyond what’s expected.

Whether it’s lifting, pulling, restraining—every application demands more.

Not because we have to—
but because we want to build the best product on the market.

And you don’t get there by stopping early.

What does ‘tested’ actually mean in your operation? We’d love to hear..

Rigging has changed dramatically over the last decade.

Synthetics are replacing steel and wire in many applications.
Loads are increasing in all industries.
Weight matters more than ever.

But many connection points still follow designs created for an earlier era.

That gap between modern materials and traditional hardware is where innovation happens.

The next generation of rigging systems will come from understanding both worlds — rope and steel — and how they work together.

That’s where we focus our time.

You may have seen it.

This is the official moment.

A new standard in rigging design.
Rope, steel, and aerospace-grade alloy — unified through deliberate architecture.

A never-seen-before internal load system.

Vision shaped it.
Discipline refined it.
Power carries it.

Engineered by Rigging Concepts.
Launched in Australia with Bullivants.

This is AirShackle™.

You don’t need another shackle.

You need one that makes sense.

We couldn’t sleep knowing it wasn’t right.

Not almost right.
Not “good enough.”
Right.

Because when something is hanging off it, theory doesn’t matter.

So we tested it.
Loaded it.
Redesigned it.
Refined it.
And tested it again.

Over and over.

That’s the difference.

Now it’s ready………
With Bullivants

The metal components control alignment, compression, wear, and stress concentration within the rope.

Geometry matters.
Tolerances matter.
Surface finish matters.

Nothing here is incidental.
Every detail governs how load is carried, guided, and protected.

Precision isn’t aesthetic.
It’s structural.

More to come soon… follow to be the first to find out …..

In a hybrid rigging system, the rope isn’t an accessory — it’s foundational.

Fibre choice, construction, manufacturing process, design and protection all influence how a system behaves under load.

When designed properly, advanced fibre can improve both performance and safety.

We didn’t set out to simply make rigging lighter.

The real goal was to make it work better — during installation, under load, and over time.

Smarter design leads to better outcomes in the field.
