Rigging

The rig is where every show lives or dies. RockForce Rigging brings together ETCP, SPRAT, and IRATA-certified technicians, in-house design and engineering, a full motor rental inventory, and a national crew network — delivering precision rigging from the first point plotted through final strike. Whether you're hanging a touring production across 14 markets or engineering a permanent install in a new arena, we're in before the design is finalized, and we don't leave until the job is right.

What We Do

Full-Service Rigging. Every Stage.

Some rigging companies sell hoists. Others sell labor. RockForce Rigging owns the full chain — equipment, crew, engineering, and training — so a single team is accountable from first point plotted to final strike.

Motor Rentals

550+ Columbus McKinnon Loadstar hoists, inspected and maintained to manufacturer spec. Available for single events or extended touring deployments.

Crew & Workforce

Production head riggers, high riggers, ground riggers, and climbers — blended union and non-union, scalable nationally. ETCP, SPRAT, IRATA, and OSHA-30 certified.

Design & Engineering

In-house rigging design and load calculations. We coordinate with architects, TDs, and production designers — and we engage as early as you'll let us.

Training & Safety

ETCP-aligned curriculum, fall protection certification, and ongoing skills development. Backed by RockForce Rigging University — Nashville's hands-on rigging trade school.

Rentals

550+ Hoists. Ready When You Are.

RockForce Rigging operates one of the largest motor rental inventories in live events — Extensive Fleet of Columbus McKinnon Loadstar Hoists, each inspected and maintained to manufacturer and industry standards. Our fleet supports single-night corporate builds and multi-city touring productions alike. Every hoist is logged, inspected, and deployment-ready. Automation support available via Kinesys and Moveket — SIL-3 and C-1 rated, globally compliant.

Crew & Approach

In Early. Certified. On Call Through Strike.

Every RockForce rigger carries the certifications that matter: ETCP, SPRAT, IRATA, CM-RT, CMPRO, CPR, and OSHA-30. Production riggers average 10–25 years of experience across touring, arenas, festivals, and film. Our national crew network carries insight into venues most companies have never stepped foot in. We engage at pre-production, operate turnkey or integrated, and stay on-call — Zoom, onsite surveys, or 2 a.m. phone calls.

Design & Engineering

Engineered to Hold. Built to Perform.

RockForce Rigging provides in-house design and engineering for every project that requires it — load calculations, point plots, venue load studies, and full system documentation. We use Vectorworks and CAD and engage at pre-production whenever the scope allows. Temporary events and permanent installs both fall within our scope, executed by ETCP, SPRAT, and IRATA-certified technicians to current ANSI and OSHA standards.

Training & Safety

Training the Next Generation of Entertainment Riggers.

Every high rigger on a RockForce job holds current fall protection certification. That's the floor. RockForce Rigging University — our Nashville-based trade school — is the pipeline. The ETCP-aligned curriculum covers load calculations, ground rigging, motor control, truss assembly, tour logistics, and fall protection. One-day workshops to multi-week certifications, taught by working professionals. Mobile training units deploy nationally.

Safety

Safety Doesn't Stop at the Rigging Plot.

ETCP, SPRAT, and IRATA credentials are the floor — not the ceiling. RockForce builds safety into every workflow: OSHA-trained crews, on-site safety officers, real-time weather monitoring, and incident tracking that closes loops across markets. The Rigging team operates inside that larger standard.
