The loft facility houses the sewing machines and other
equipment over and above the hand tools that all riggers
should have. A full-service loft will have the following
areas:
1. Packing and inspection area. A main part of the loft
layout is a suitable packing area. According to 14
CFR, subsection 65.127(a), the rigger must have: “A
smooth top table at least 3 feet wide by 40 feet long.”
Technically this is still required, and is used primarily
for round canopies. However, with today’s
square parachutes, the accepted practice is to pack on
the floor on a suitable covering such as carpet. If the
rigger is packing round parachutes, a packing table is
a necessity as it makes the rigger’s job easier and
more comfortable. If there is no packing table, then
there needs to be an open area big enough to lay out
the square parachute. While not expressly required,
most lofts will have a canopy hanger [Figure 6-84]
for inspection, airing, and assembling square canopies.
Along with the canopy hanger, an assembly and
inspection table [Figure 6-85] is extremely useful. It
allows the harness and container to be assembled to
the canopy without laying it on the floor. The assembly
table allows the correct distance from the floor to
mate with the canopy and provides an ideal storage
area for the packing tools, wrenches, other equipment,
and materials needed for assembly. Figure 6-86 shows
a complete layout of the canopy hanger and layout
table.

2. Work area including layout tables and sewing
machines. The work and layout tables are ideally 4 x
8 feet for optimum space usage. Any canopy layout
can be done on the packing table. The work tables
should be adjacent to the sewing machines for minimum
walking distance between them. Many lofts will
have a small table along the walls against which the
sewing machines are placed. This allows storage of
materials and other items needed during the sewing
operation. The right end of the sewing machine table
is placed against this table so that the left, or open end,
is available to lay canopies or containers on.
3. Harness table and machines. Because of the
nature of harness work, there are many specialized
materials and tools unique to harness work. The
table [Figure 6-87] will house the hot knife, hot
glue gun, templates, and rulers. The harness
machine should be adjacent to the harness table for
maximum efficiency.

4. Cutting table. The cutting table is used for cutting
canopy fabric for canopy repairs, para-pak or
Cordura® for container repairs, or for cutting anything
for general manufacturing. Ideally, this cutting
table will have a glass surface for use with a hot
knife. One of the best designs utilizes a 4 x 4 feet
glass surface that is hidden below a wooden cover
that can be removed when needed and protects the
glass when not in use. This table serves dual duty as
a work table. [Figure 6-88]
5. Metal working area. It is important to segregate the
metal working area from the rest of the loft. Because
of the nature of the work, metal working creates considerable
contamination with metal shavings and
other particles injurious to parachute fabrics. The
metal working area will have drills, grinders, swaging
tools, Nicopress® tools, and other tools needed
for repairing or overhauling metal components.
[Figure 6-89] The grommetting area [Figure 6-90]
should be adjacent to the metal working area, since
several of the tools used to remove grommets will be
found there. The grommet machine or handsets are
kept in this area. Parachute containers or other parts
needing grommets are brought to this area for work.
