Which term refers to the equipment used to lift heavier platform units?

• A. Safety Guidelines
• B. Rigging Equipment
• C. Hoistway Travel Check
• D. Mast Installation

Answer: (B)

The main concept here is the equipment used to lift heavier platform units. That term is rigging equipment, which encompasses slings, shackles, chains, hooks, hoists, and other hardware arranged to attach to a load and lift it safely. Rigging equipment is specifically designed to handle the weight, control balance, and secure the load during lifting, which is essential when dealing with heavier platform components.

Safety guidelines describe how to perform work safely but aren’t the hardware itself. Hoistway travel checks are procedures for verifying clearance and movement inside the hoistway. Mast installation refers to putting in a vertical support structure, not the lifting gear used for heavy loads. So rigging equipment best fits the description of the equipment used to lift heavier platform units.
