What is the difference between lifting and rigging?

The distinction between lifting and rigging lies in the fact that lifting pertains to the utilisation of equipment designed for the elevation, rolling, sliding, or hoisting of substantial objects, such as machinery and materials. On the other hand, rigging equipment, such as wire rope, turnbuckles, clevis, and jacks, finds its application in conjunction with cranes and other lifting equipment for material handling and structural relocation.
