Rigging Technologies Inc. (RTI) is a Nevada-incorporated, privately held production rigging, rope access, and automation services company founded in 2001 and headquartered in North Las Vegas. The firm provides integrated rigging solutions for entertainment, corporate, and live-event productions, including site surveys, AutoCAD and Vector Works drafting, weight load calculations, complete rigging gear packages, budget management, on-site project management, and certified rope access teams holding IRATA, SPRAT, and ESTA credentials.

The business operates a direct, relationship-driven go-to-market targeting enterprise clients across entertainment venues, hotel and casino properties on the Las Vegas Strip, automotive manufacturers and dealer networks (Detroit, Chicago, and New York auto shows; dealer meetings for Honda, KIA, Nissan, GM), technology companies hosting large conferences (Microsoft E3, Cisco Live, ServiceNow, HP Discover, Autodesk University, Splunk, Twitter, TSMC), entertainment productions (Miss America, Daytime Emmy Awards, Caesars Comedy Festival, Shochiku Kabuki at Bellagio), and government and public-sector installations (U.S. Naval Hospital Guam, McCarran Airport Terminal 3 artwork). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue streams are a mix of professional services (rigging labor and project management), equipment rental, equipment sales and fabrication, rope access services, and training programs.

Operationally, the company is sized at 51–100 employees with leadership including Operations Manager Dave Whaley and Head Production Riggers Peter Cagle and Zach Romero. Geographic reach spans Nevada, California, Colorado, Florida, and Guam. There are no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, public equity, or external investors in the source data, and revenue figures are not published. The company is presented as actively operating with a current website and portfolio, but no headcount growth, hiring signals, or expansion announcements beyond the existing footprint are documented in the available materials.
