A rigger (in construction) is a person who specializes in the lifting and moving of extremely large or heavy objects. They understand the ins and outs of static and dynamic loads and their expertise is of paramount importance to ensure that the components of a project are delivered safely and expediently into the exact positions. Consider the complexities involved for a rigger when replacing a 38 ton thruster on the DCV Balder. Therefore, naming this tool "rigger" makes sense: it's your highly experienced aide in lifting your Deis platform into position.
