Rigging and lifting rental software

Rigging and lifting rental software tracks below-the-hook equipment the way it actually rents: by the individual item. Slings, shackles, spreader bars, come-alongs and chain hoists each carry a serial number, a rated capacity and an inspection record, and a single job can put forty of them on a truck. The software's job is to know which forty went out, which thirty-eight came back, and whether every one of them was in date on the day it shipped.

The problem

What makes rigging and lifting hard to run?

The reasons generic rental tools — and Excel — give up on rigging and lifting. If you searched for rigging equipment rental software, this is the part that matters.

The order is one line; the truck holds forty items

A rigging package rents as a package and returns as parts. When the record is a single line called "rigging kit", the two missing shackles are found at inventory, months later, by someone who cannot bill for them.

Certificates are filed by date, not by serial

Inspection paperwork exists — in a binder, organized by when it was done. The question at dispatch is different: is THIS sling, this serial, in date today? Answering it means reading the binder backwards.

Capacity gets assumed instead of checked

Rated capacity lives on the tag and in someone's memory. When the record does not carry it, the counter matches gear to a job by eye — which works right up until it does not.

Damaged gear goes back on the shelf

A sling comes back with a nick. Without a return inspection tied to the serial, it goes into the rack with everything else and rents again next week.

Reconciliation happens at inventory, not at return

Counting the truck back in is the only moment you can charge for what is missing. If the return is a tick-box, that moment passes every time.

We get the hesitation

You could serialize all of it in a spreadsheet. The problem is not recording it — it is answering a question about it at the counter.

What’s true

We know — a well-kept spreadsheet holds serials, capacities and inspection dates perfectly well, and plenty of shops run on one.

Where it stops

The spreadsheet cannot tell you at 7am whether every item on today's pull is in date, or reconcile a forty-piece return while the truck is still at the gate. It stores the answer; it does not hand it to you at the moment you need it.

Compliance

What rigging gear has to be able to show

ASME B30.9 / B30.26OSHA 1926 subpart HARA model rental agreement termsNational Equipment Register

ASME B30.9 covers slings and B30.26 covers rigging hardware; OSHA 1926 subpart H governs rigging in construction. All of it comes down to the same practical duty: the item that went out was rated for the load and in date on the day.

That is a records problem, and it is solved on the item. Serial, rated capacity, inspection date and the photos from the last return all live on the individual piece of gear — so the counter can confirm a pull is legitimate before the truck loads, and reconstruct it afterwards if anyone asks.

How it works

How MovoGo handles rigging and lifting

The same flow your counter runs today — minus the paper, the phone tag and the things that never make it onto the invoice.

1
Every item carries its own record
Serial number, rated capacity, inspection date, photos and documents live on the individual sling, shackle or spreader — not on the order it last shipped with.
2
Pull the job, item by item
A rigging package is assembled from real serialized items, so the rental knows exactly what left — and the customer's paperwork shows the same list.
3
Condition captured at both ends
Photos and a signature at pickup and return, recorded by a named inspector, attached to each item rather than to the order.
4
Reconcile the return at the gate
Check the pieces back in against the pull list while the truck is still there. Missing and damaged items get priced onto the rental instead of discovered at inventory.
5
Invoice reflects what actually came back
Rental days, missing pieces and damage priced from the agreement, with sales tax by delivery address, posted to QuickBooks Online.

Frequently asked questions

Rigging and lifting software, answered

The questions rigging and lifting operations actually ask before they look at a system.

Yes — that is the core of it. Each sling, shackle, spreader bar and hoist is its own asset record with a serial, a rated capacity, inspection dates, documents and photos. A rental references the actual items, so you always know which specific pieces are on which job.

The return is reconciled against the pull list at the gate, item by item. Anything missing or damaged is priced onto the rental there and then, which is the only moment you can realistically bill for it.

On the item. Documents and dates attach to the individual serial rather than to a folder organized by date, so the question that actually matters at dispatch — is this specific piece in date today — has a direct answer.

It puts the information in front of the person committing the gear: inspection status is visible on the item at the point it is added to a job. The system surfaces it; the decision stays with your people, which is where responsibility sits anyway.

Yes. Units can be bundled onto one rental with a price override, so a crane and its rigging package bill as one job while each item keeps its own record underneath.
