Gulf Orbit

Rigger supply in Saudi Arabia

Plans and carries out lifting operations: selects and inspects gear, attaches loads, and directs the crane operator through the lift.

Direct answer

Gulf Orbit supplies riggers across Saudi Arabia for lifting operations on industrial, petrochemical, construction and infrastructure sites, working to client lift plans and permit requirements.

What they do on site

  • Select, inspect and reject lifting gear before use
  • Calculate load weight and centre of gravity and choose the rigging arrangement
  • Attach, balance and secure loads for lifting
  • Direct the crane operator by signal or radio throughout the lift
  • Control the exclusion zone and work to the lift plan and permit

Rigging is a permit trade

Lifting is one of the most tightly controlled activities on an industrial site. Most operators require their own rigger assessment or a site-specific authorisation before anyone touches a load, regardless of prior experience. Tell us in the requirement what your site demands, so it is handled before mobilization instead of at the gate.

Riggers and crane operators are one request, not two

A crane without a rigger is idle and a rigger without a crane is waiting. If your scope involves lifting, say whether you need both, and whether the crane is yours or hired separately. The register carries riggers alongside mobile and tower crane operators precisely because they are asked for together.

How to request this trade

  1. 1

    Send the requirement

    Trade, headcount, site location, start date, duration and shift pattern. Anything you can add about site access and permit requirements shortens the next step.

  2. 2

    Requirement review

    We confirm what is available against your dates and flag anything in the scope that will affect mobilization.

  3. 3

    Worker matching

    Workers are matched to the trade and to the site conditions — industrial versus building work are not interchangeable, and we do not treat them as such.

  4. 4

    Documentation and client approval

    Iqama, identification and trade documentation are submitted for your review. Nobody mobilizes before you approve the profiles.

  5. 5

    Quotation and purchase order

    Commercial terms are issued against the confirmed scope. A purchase order is required before mobilization.

  6. 6

    Mobilization and site induction

    Workers are briefed on your site induction, permit-to-work and access requirements before they start.

  7. 7

    Ongoing support

    Attendance, replacement and scale-up handled through a single point of contact for the duration of the requirement.

Documentation supplied with every worker

Iqama, identification and trade documentation are available for client review before mobilization. Where a client requires a specific certification or a trade test before a worker is accepted on site, say so in the requirement and it will be addressed during matching rather than after arrival.

Frequently asked questions

Can you supply riggers for shutdown work?

Yes. Rigging demand peaks during turnarounds alongside welding and scaffolding. Send the window early, because the same constraint applies to all three.

Do you supply riggers together with crane operators?

Yes. Say whether the crane is yours, and which type, so the operator is matched to the machine.
