DeLong Rigging Solutions Launches Updated One Shot Training

March 19, 2025

DeLong Rigging Solutions announced the relaunch of their company website featuring updated and expanded One Shot Training, a series of free videos providing training in most aspects of rigging.

Topics include fundamentals such as common rigging knots, where to start in a new venue, wire rope terminations, and basic terminology. Fall protection, fire curtains and Personal Protective Equipment are also among the safety topics included. Every aspect of the operation of a fly rail and the weight floor is covered through a sequence of ten videos. Arena rigging topics include round slings, floor marking, building motor points, and chain motor operations. More advanced riggers will enjoy basic bridle math, calculating vertical forces & loads, and DeLong’s famous “Universal Cheat Sheet.”  

Designed to be useful for anyone from students and others just beginning their rigging studies to stagehands settling a bar bet, the videos are brief demonstrations of proper techniques and terminology. 

Founder Tyler Delong explains, "My dad and I shot the originals during the COVID shutdown. They were so popular we decided to expand the content and improve the quality. Our whole team was involved in their creation this time, so you get a chance to meet everyone while also learning about rigging. It’s a gift to the world from a company that values safety, education, and doing things right the first time.”
