Certified riggers for truss, chain hoists, motors, and arena rigging systems — safe, skilled, and ready for your production.
Rigging is the most safety-critical discipline in live event production. Show Ready AVS provides certified, experienced riggers who understand load calculations, truss assembly, motor control, and arena rigging protocols. Whether you need a ground rigger for a hotel ballroom truss build or an arena rigger for a high-steel concert tour, our rigging crew arrives with the certifications, skills, and safety-first mindset your production demands. We serve production companies, touring crews, venues, and event planners across Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, and Palm Springs — because there's no room for shortcuts when your equipment is in the air.
A rigger is responsible for safely suspending lighting, audio, video, and scenic elements above the stage and audience. This includes calculating loads, selecting hardware, climbing steel, attaching bridles and shackles, operating chain hoists, and ensuring every rigging point meets safety standards. At concerts and festivals, riggers work at height to attach points in arena steel. At corporate events, they build ground-supported truss and manage motor lifts. Every rigging decision directly impacts safety — which is why production companies trust Show Ready AVS to provide only certified, experienced rigging professionals.
Rigging errors can result in catastrophic equipment failure and serious injury. That's why Show Ready AVS only supplies riggers with verified certifications and documented live event experience. Our riggers hold ETCP, arena rigging, or equivalent certifications and are trained in OSHA safety protocols, load calculation, and fall protection. We don't send general laborers to do rigging work — we send specialists who understand that safety is non-negotiable.
Whether you're hanging points in an arena for a national tour, building ground-supported truss in a convention center, or rigging drape and scenic elements for a corporate gala, our riggers have the experience and certifications to get it done safely and efficiently. We staff rigging positions for concert tours, festival builds, trade shows, corporate events, theater productions, and permanent installations throughout Southern California.
