When a load is lifted, the job is not over — it has just begun. A simple rope, used correctly, can make all the difference.
A tagline should help you stay away from the load — not bring you closer to it.
— Core principle of safe load handling
Suspended loads can swing, rotate, or drift — especially under wind, crane movement, or uneven load geometry. This is where taglines come in.
A tagline, when used correctly, allows riggers to guide a load while keeping a safer distance from it. But like most things in lifting, how you use it matters more than what you use.
In real-world conditions, taglines don't stay clean and straight. They pick up dirt, grease, and moisture. They coil and twist. A rope that's hard to manage is a rope that's harder to control — and harder to release when it counts.
POLY-EX 12mm rope with 6mm core. Semi-stiff, tangle-resistant construction with braided outer cover. Colour-coded eyes for quick identification. ANSI Z359.12 twist-lock carabiner included with every tagline.
Built for congested sites and low-light conditions. High-visibility construction makes it easy to identify lines during operations, improving coordination between team members and the crane operator.
A reliable, straightforward option for everyday rigging tasks. Guides suspended loads without requiring hand contact with the load — simple, effective, and suited to regular lifting operations across industries.
For steel and structural applications where conventional tagline attachment is difficult. Magnetic connection to beams, plates, and structural members creates a faster, cleaner attachment point without tying or rigging.
Taglines are simple — but the way they are used makes all the difference. Good planning, correct positioning, and the right design can make suspended-load handling more controlled and more predictable.
They are one of the most widely used tools in lifting operations precisely because they work — when chosen correctly and used correctly.
