Wind or crane movement
Maintain influence over a load that may swing as it is lifted, travelled or landed.
PSC Anti-Tangle Taglines
Control rotation. Keep hands off the load.
Anti-Tangle Taglines for Suspended Load Control
PSC anti-tangle taglines provide riggers with a controlled connection to suspended loads when swing, rotation or positioning requires guidance from a safer working distance.
anti-tangle tagline Safety
Anti-Tangle Taglines Keep the Worker Away from the Moving Load.
anti-tangle taglines transfer the guiding function from the worker’s hands on the suspended load to a controlled line at distance.
Use anti-tangle taglines when a suspended load may swing or rotate, or when guidance is required during lifting and positioning. Selection should reflect the load, operating environment, attachment method and site lifting procedure.
PSC Anti-Tangle Tagline Range
Choose the Right Anti-Tangle Tagline for the Task.
The three PSC anti-tangle tagline families differ in construction, handling behaviour and connection method. The correct anti-tangle tagline depends on how the line must perform at the suspended load.

Anti-Tangle Tagline Applications
When to Use Anti-Tangle Taglines.
Anti-tangle taglines should answer a defined suspended-load control need. They are not a substitute for lift planning, exclusion zones or an approved lifting procedure.
Orientation changes
Control unwanted rotation and help present the load in the required direction.
Landing and positioning
Guide the load from a safer position instead of placing hands directly on its surface.
Anti-tangle taglines are commonly used during lifting and rigging operations where suspended loads require controlled influence from a safer working position. Depending on the operation, a anti-tangle tagline can help riggers manage load swing, control rotation, maintain orientation and guide the load during positioning or landing without relying on direct hand contact with the suspended load.
Control from distance
Anti-Tangle Tagline Safety
Use Anti-Tangle Taglines Instead of the Body to Steady a Suspended Load.
When the lifting task requires guidance, select and connect the appropriate anti-tangle tagline before the suspended load begins to move.
PSC can review photographs or video of the lift and help determine the anti-tangle tagline construction, length and connection approach suitable for the task.
